Safety
5
When driving, keep the glove box
closed. Otherwise, this could cause injury
in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
Lateral airbags
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
protects the driver and front passenger in the
event of a serious side impact, in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest, between the
abdomen and head.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, 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 (Row 2 & 3)
Feel, Shine, Business Lounge
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
contributes towards greater protection for
passengers (with the exception of the centre
seats) 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
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
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel.
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 and upright sitting position.
Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.
Do not place anything between the occupants
and the airbags (e.g.
child, animal, object), do
111
Safety
5Make 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.
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 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 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.
