2021 CITROEN BERLINGO VAN airbag

Safety
Lateral airbags

If fitted to the vehicle, this system protects the
driver and front passenger in the event of a
serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to
the chest, between the abdomen and head.
Each lateral airbag is mounted in the seat
backrest frame, on the door side.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front
occupant's abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
– in 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 row 2);
immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate
rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,
–

in 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
When one or more airbags are deployed,
the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system makes a noise and
releases a small quantity of smoke.
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 that protects the driver and front
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the roof.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front
passenger airbag if it has been 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 towards the rear of
the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the chest and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and
the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the
dashboard, on the passenger side, to cushion
their forward movement.


When driving , keep the glove box
closed. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury
in the event of an accident or sudden braking.

Safety
5Lateral airbags

If fitted to the vehicle, this system protects the
driver and front passenger in the event of a
serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to
the chest, between the abdomen and head.
Each lateral airbag is mounted in the seat
backrest frame, on the door side.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front
occupant's abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
If fitted to the vehicle, this system offers
enhanced protection for the driver and
passengers (except in the central seats) in the
event of a serious side impact, limiting 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
They are deployed on one side in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the outer
rear passenger and the 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 not be deployed in the event of
a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump at
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.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal upright sitting position.
Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly
positioned and adjusted.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor
fix or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; this could cause
injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly around
the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must only
be performed by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be
ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The
airbag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.

82
Safety
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fix or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, as this could cause
injuries when the airbags are deployed.
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.
Curtain airbags
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.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
–

In accordance with European regulations, all
children under the age of 12 or less than 4
ft 1

1” (150 cm) tall must travel in approved
child seats suited to their weight , on seats
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
–

Statistically
, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
–

Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in
the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
–

‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,
–

‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
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.
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

Locations for child seats secured using the seat belt
In accordance with European regulations, the table indicates the options\
for installing child seats secured using a seat belt and universally ap\
proved (c)
according to the weight of the child and the seating position in the veh\
icle.
"Forward facing"

You must leave the front passenger airbag active.
"Rearward facing"

The front passenger airbag must be deactivated before installing a rearward
facing child seat. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag deploys.


Warning label - Front passenger airbag

You must comply with the following instruction,
reminded by the warning label on both sides of
the passenger sun visor:
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
Deactivating the front
passenger airbag
To guarantee the safety of your child, the front passenger airbag must be
deactivated when a "rear facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
Vehicles not equipped with a
deactivation control
Installing a “rear facing” child seat on the front
passenger seat or bench seat is expressly
prohibited! Doing so would expose the child to
the risk of death or serious injury in the event
of airbag deployment.
