Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a
correctly adjusted seat belt.
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
be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to
the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out
when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates
almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds)
then deflates within the same time
discharging hot gas via openings provided for
this purpose. 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 fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel, the dashboard or the passenger's
sun visor as this could cause injuries with
deployment of the 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, you can
contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not attach or hang 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. Consult the
legislation in force in your country.
Although one of the main criteria of CITROËN
when designing your vehicle, the safety of your
children also depends on you.
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
an approved child seat suited to their
weight and installed on a vehicle seat fitted
with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.*
-
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.
CITROËN recommends that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
- "
rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
- "
forward facing " over the age of 3.
Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing "
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a
rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the rear ward facing child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.
"Forward facing"
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
o n a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for wards and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the for ward
facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a
support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm contact with the
floor. If necessary, adjust the front seat of
the vehicle.
Safety

43
Child seat at the front
(Refer to the current legislation in your country
before installing your child on the front seat.)
"Rearward facing "
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
o n the front passenger seat , adjust the seat to
the intermediate longitudinal position, with the
backrest straightened.
The passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed .
"Forward facing "
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat , adjust the
vehicle's seat to the intermediate longitudinal
position with seat backrest straightened and
leave the passenger's front airbag activated.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm contact with the
floor. If necessary, adjust the passenger
seat. Passenger seat adjusted to the intermediate
longitudinal position.
Deactivating the
passenger's front airbag
Never install a "rear ward facing" child
r estraint system on a seat protected by an
active front airbag.
This could cause the death or serious
injury of the child.

For more information on the Airbags,
refer to the corresponding section.
Deactivating the
passenger's front airbag
F Turn it to the OFF position.
F Remove the key, leaving the switch in this
position.
When the ignition is on, this warning
lamp comes on in the seat belt warning
lamps display screen. It stays on while
the airbag is deactivated.
To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a
rear ward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Reactivating the
passenger's front airbag
When you remove a rearward facing c hild
seat, with the ignition off , turn the switch to
the ON position to reactivate the airbag and so
assure the safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated.
F With the ignition off , insert the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch.

ISOFIX mountings (child
seats)
(The legislation on carrying children is specific
to each country. Refer to the legislation in force
in your country.)
ISOFIX is an ISO standard for child seat
mountings (ISO standard 13216 -1: 1999).
This system avoids the use of the vehicle's seat
belts for securing the child seat: two latches
on the child seat engage on two anchorage
points (1) positioned between the seat cushion
and backrest at the left-hand and right-hand
seating positions of the rear bench seat of your
E-MEHARI.
The aim of the ISOFIX system is to facilitate
the installation of a
child seat and its transfer
to another vehicle, while avoiding the problems
inherent in fixing systems that use the vehicle's
seat belts.
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with ISOFIX
mountings at the left-hand and right-hand
seating positions of the rear bench seat.
This system simplifies the installation and fixing
of a
child seat while improving the safety of the
installation at the same time. (1)
Locations of ISOFIX mountings.
(1) Location of the Top Tether rings for fixing
the upper strap. The ISOFIX standard is overseen by the
International Standards Organisation.
Always use child seats compatible with
this standard when using the dedicated
anchorage points.
Using a
child seat incompatible with the
ISOFIX standard may increase the risks
of an accident and injury for the child, but
also for other occupants of the vehicle.
Installation of a child
s eat compatible with the
ISOFIX standard
Failure to obser ve the instructions and
warnings related to the installation of
a
child seat or child restraint system would
expose the child and the other occupants
of the vehicle to the risk of serious injury in
the event of a
collision or sudden braking.
Always use child seats that meet the
European standards and carefully follow
the installation and fixing instructions
provided with the child seat.
