Rear seat belts not fastened
alerts
Seat belts unfastened alert
When the ignition is switched on, with the
motor running or the vehicle driving above
6 mph (10 km/h), warning lamp A and the
corresponding dots in warning lamp B come on
for around thirty seconds, if one or more rear
passengers have not fastened their seat belts.
After the ignition is switched on, warning
lamp A and the corresponding dots in warning
lamp B come on if the driver and/or one or
more passengers unfasten their seat belts.
These warning lamps flash for 30
seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal. Beyond
this period of time, the warning lamps stay on
continuously until the seat belts are fastened.
Airbags
General information
This system contributes towards improving the
safety of passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action
of the seat belts fitted with force limiters (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger).
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 passengers
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
passengers,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over 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.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a
noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in
a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Front airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe frontal
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard under the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in
the event of a
serious front impact to all or part
of the front impact zone A , in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp on the instrument
panel comes on, you must contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a
serious impact.
Lateral airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe side impact
to minimise the risk of injury to the chest,
between hip and shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Deployment
The lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in
the event of a severe side impact covering all
or part of side impact zone B , 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 hip
and shoulder of the front passenger and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp on the instrument
panel comes on, you must contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a
serious impact.
In the event of a
minor impact or bump on
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.
Safety

41
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.
