you release the accelerator pedal.
This does not happen in all cases and depends
on the rate of deceleration.

Airbags
The airbags have been designed to contribute
towards improving the safety of the occupants
in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement the action of the force-limiting seat
belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors record and
analyse the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the event of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantaneously
and contribute towards protecting the
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibility of
the occupants or their possible exit from
the


vehicle,
-

i
n the event of a minor impact or rear
impact and in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags may not be deployed; the seat
belt alone contributes towards providing
your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same
or a subsequent accident), the airbag
will not be deployed again. The deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation related to
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.
Impact detection zones

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or part of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their for ward movement. System which protects the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in the event of a
front impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the safety
recommendations below:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. The bag
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Advice
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.

Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the reinflation, repair or replacement
of the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a CITROËN dealer or a
