Localised Emergency Call
* In accordance with the general conditions of
service available from dealers and subject
to technological and technical limitations.
**

A
s per the geographic coverage of
"Localised Emergency Call", "Localised
Assistance Call" and the official national
language chosen by the owner of the
vehicle.
T

he list of countries covered and of
telematic services is available from dealers
or on the website for your country.
In an emergency, press button 1

for more than
2


seconds.
The flashing LED and a

voice message confirm
that the call has been made to the "Localised
Emergency Call" call centre*.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels
the request; the LED goes off.
The LED remains on (without flashing) when
communication is established.
It goes off at the end of the call.
"Localised Emergency Call" immediately
locates your vehicle, contacts you in your own
language**, and – if necessary – requests
the appropriate public emergency services to
be sent**. In countries where the ser vice is
not operational, or where the locating ser vice
has been expressly refused, the call is sent
directly to the emergency services (112) without
location. If an impact is detected by the airbag
control unit, an emergency call is made
automatically and independently of the
deployment of any airbags.
Operation of the system
F Press the central part of the multifunction
steering wheel. When the ignition is switched on, the indicator
lamp comes on for 3
seconds indicating that
the system is operating correctly.
If the indicator lamp lights up continuously red:
there is a
system fault.
If the indicator lamp flashes red: replace the
back-up battery.
In either case, emergency and assistance calls
may not function.
Contact a
qualified repairer as soon as
possible.

Airbags
General information
System designed to help improve the safety
of the occupants sitting in the front seats and
the rear outer seats in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action
of the seat belts fitted with force limiters at the
front seats and at the rear outer seats.
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 violent impact, the airbags
deploy instantly and help better protect
the occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
in order not to hinder the visibility or the
possible exit of the occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or
in certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations. The 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. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a
slight emission of
smoke and a
noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
chest.
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.
These front airbags are adaptive. In
particular, their hardness will decrease in
the presence of an occupant of shorter
height, with the seat adjusted to a
for ward
longitudinal position.

Deployment
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag , refer to the
corresponding section.
They deploy, except the front passenger airbag
if it is deactivated*, in the event of a
serious
front impact to all or part of the front impact
zone A .
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's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
Lateral airbags
At the front
Deployment
They deploy on one side in the event of
a serious side impact applied to all or part of
the side impact zone B .
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the vehicle's occupant and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
System contributing towards greater protection
for the driver and passengers (with the
exception of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of a
serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
It deploys simultaneously with the
corresponding lateral airbag in the event of
a
serious side impact applied to all or part of
the side impact zone B .
The curtain airbag inflates between the front
and rear occupants of the vehicle and the
corresponding windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, 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.
In the event of a
minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a
rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a

serious side impact to mitigate the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
