in the longitudinal centreline
o
f the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.

Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do
not leave anything between the
o
ccupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
o
bject...), nor fix or attach anything close to
t
he inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
c
ould cause injuries during their deployment.
Never
modify the original definition of your
v
ehicle, particularly in the area directly
around
the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen
or broken into, have the airbag
s
ystems checked.
All
work on the airbag system must be
c
arried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
w
orkshop.
Even
if all of the precautions mentioned
a
re observed, a risk of injury or of minor
b
urns to the head, chest or arms when an
a
irbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
b
ag inflates almost instantly (within a few
m
illiseconds) then deflates within the same
t
ime discharging the hot gas via openings
p
rovided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre
p
art of the wheel.
Passengers
must not place their feet on the
das

an cause burns or the risk of injury from a
c
igarette or pipe.
Never
remove
or
pierce
the
steering
wheel
or
h
it it violently.
Do
not fit or attach anything to the steering
w
heel, the dashboard or the passenger's
s
un visor as this could cause injuries with
d
eployment of the airbags.
Advice

Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
a
irbags. For information on the range of seat
c
overs suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact

For
more information on accessories, refer
t
o the corresponding section.
Do
not fix or attach anything to the seat
b
acks (clothing...). This could cause injury
t
o the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
d
eployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer
to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the curtain
a
irbag is deployed.
If
fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
g
rab handles installed on the roof, they play
a
part in securing the curtain airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:

Switching off the engine leads to a loss o
f braking assistance.
Ignition on position (2)
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once
the state of charge of the battery drops
t
o the reserve level, the system switches to
e
nergy economy mode: the power supply is
c
ut off automatically to preserve the remaining
b
attery charge.
Avoid
attaching heavy objects to the

b
lade in the ignition switch and could
c
ause a malfunction.
It
could adversely affect the deployment

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
I t controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from
a
parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move
f
or wards and backwards more than once.
The
Park Assist system cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The
driver must remain in control of
t
heir vehicle ensuring that the space
r
emains clear during the manoeuvre.
In
some circumstances, the sensors
m
ay not detect small obstacles located
i
n their blind spots. Changing
tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
w
inter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
t
he correct operation of the parking
a
ssistance system.
During
a manoeuvre the steering wheel
t
urns quickly: do not hold the steering
w
heel, do not place your hand between
the
spokes of the steering wheel and
t
ake care with loose and bulky clothing,
s
carves, handbags... There is a risk of
in
jury. For
entry into a parking space (parallel
p
arking) the system does not detect
s
paces which are clearly much smaller
o
r larger than the size of the vehicle.
This
"parking assistance" system
i
s activated automatically during
m
anoeuvres; it is therefore possible
t
hat a symbol comes on in the screen,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal,
w
ithout affecting the manoeuvre.The
selection of the type of manoeuvre
(
entering or exiting a parallel parking
s
pace) prevents a change to STOP
m
ode of Stop & Start.
In
STOP mode, this selection restarts
t
he
eng
ine.
The
driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
