When driving, keep the glove box closed.
Other wise, this could cause injury in the
event of an accident or sudden braking.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger front airbag if it is deactivated, in
the event of a serious front impact to all or part
of the frontal 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 thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger side to cushion their
for ward movement.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp on the instrument
panel comes on, you must contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
Lateral airbags
If fitted to your vehicle, this system protects
the driver and front passenger in the event of a
serious side impact in order to limit the risk of
injury to the chest, between the abdomen and
head.
Each side airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions 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 slight irritation.
The noise of detonation associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in slight and temporary loss of
hearing.
