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 system may be deployed
before and independent of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners 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.Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the centre seat in rows 2 and 3,
if fitted to your vehicle) in the event of violent
collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
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 occupants
(with the exception of the centre seat in
rows 2 and 3, if fitted to your vehicle)
;
immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder
visibility or the 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 some
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.

Curtain airbags
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
range of seat covers suitable for your
vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could
cause injuries to the thorax or arm when
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include
side impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior
trim could compromise the operation of
these sensors - risk of malfunction of the
lateral airbags!
Such work must only be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
General points relating to
child seats
The legislation on carrying children is
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country. -
S
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats.
-
A c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear ward facing" position
both in the front and in the rear.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "
rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
- "
forward facing " over the age of 3.
Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor.
At the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a child seat with backrest
on a passenger seat. Refit the head
restraint once the child seat has been
removed.
Feel
, Shine , Business
Lounge
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, as they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-
I
n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt
or ISOFIX mountings.
Safety
121
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat
compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
harness of child seats, keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of the vehicle. If the passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest
on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint
once the child seat has been removed.Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with backrest,
equipped with a belt guide at shoulder
level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c
hild alone and unattended in a
vehicle,
-
a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
