Instructions for children
Use a suitable child seat, if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than
one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer
to the corresponding section.
In case of impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact, the pyrotechnic may be
deployed before and independent of the
airbags. Deployment of the pyrotechnics
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp is lit.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and if necessary have it replaced
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.AirbagsThe airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Frontal impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat in rows 2
and
3, depending on your vehicle) in the event of
violent collisions. The airbags supplement the
effect of the seat belts with force limiter.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(with the exception of the centre seat in
rows 2
and 3, as applicable); immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the passengers,
-
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
