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.

Safety
5the 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 child alone and unattended in a vehicle,
–


a child or an animal in a vehicle which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,
– the keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
Child seat at the rear
Row 2
Forward-facing or rearward-facing




► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing
child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
►

Check that the backrest of the forward-facing
child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact
with it.
►


Adjust the rear seat (in row 2) to the fully
back longitudinal position, with the backrest
straightened.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor. If necessary, adjust the
vehicle's front seat.
Row 3

If a child seat is installed on a passenger
seat in the third row, move the seat to its
rearmost longitudinal position with the backrest
straightened, so that the child seat and the
child's legs do not touch the seats in the second
row.
Never fit a child seat with a support leg in
the third row.
Child seat at the front

► Adjust the front passenger seat to the
highest and fully back longitudinal position ,
with the backrest straightened.

Driving
6The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.


Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalWith CITROËN Connect Radio or
CITROËN Connect Nav, pressing
this button opens the window for adjusting the
volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance

It supplements the audible assistance, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
(white: more distant obstacles, orange: close
obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10
km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the
vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6
mph
(10
km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle in relation to
the vehicle, in the vehicle trajectory, in front or
behind.
Side parking sensors

Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system
records the position of fixed obstacles during
the manoeuvre and signals them when they are
located by the sides of the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are signalled
correctly. Moving obstacles detected at
the beginning of the manoeuvre may be
signalled mistakenly, while moving obstacles
which appear at the sides of the vehicle and
which were not previously recorded will not be
signalled.
The objects memorised during the manoeuvre will no longer be stored after
switching off the ignition.
