recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or

  shorter   than   one   metre   fifty,
-

never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened. For

  more   information   on   child  
seats, refer to the "Children on
board"

  section   of   chapter   5.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by CITR

regulations, your CITR
o Ë n dealer can
guarantee
  all   work   or   any   checks,   from  
testing

  to   maintenance,   on   your   seat

  equipment.
Have
  the   seat   belts   checked   regularly  
(even

  after   a   minor   impact)   by   a  
CITROËN

  dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop:

  they   must   not   show   any  
signs of wear

, cutting or fraying
and
  they   must   not   be   converted   or  
modified.

General information
The airbags have been designed to
maximise  the   safety   of   the   occupants  
in the event of a serious collision;
they

  work   in   conjunction   with   the   force  
limiting

  seat   belts. In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the
  front   and   side   impacts   suffered   in  the
  impact   detection   zones:
-
 
in
  the   event   of   a   serious   impact,  
the

  airbags   inflate   instantly   and  
contribute towards better protecting
the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately

  after   the   impact,   the  
airbags

  deflate   rapidly,   so   that   they  
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from

  the   vehicle.-
 
in
  the   event   of   a   minor   or   rear  impact
  and   in   certain   roll-over  conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient
  to   contribute   towards   your  
protection

  in   these   situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment
  of   impact.

Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear   a   correctly   adjusted   seat   belt.
d

o not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet,
  object...).  
This
  could   hinder   the  
operation

  of   the   airbags   or   injure   the  
occupants.
a

fter an accident or if the vehicle has
been
  stolen   or   broken   into,   have   the  
airbag

  systems   checked.
All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   is   strictly  
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualified

  personnel   at   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   when   an   airbag   is  
deployed

  cannot   be   ruled   out.   In   fact,  
the

  bag   inflates   almost   instantly   (within  
a

  few   milliseconds)   then   deflates   within  
the

  same   time   discharging   the   hot   gas  
via

  openings   provided   for   this   purpose.Lateral airbags
Only
  put   recommended   covers   on  
the

  seats.  
These
  will   not   hinder  
inflation

  of   the   lateral   airbags.   Contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop.
Do

  not   fix   or   attach   anything   to   the   seat  
backs.

 
This
  could   cause   injury   to   the  
chest

  or   arms   when   the   lateral   airbag  
inflates.
d

o not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
d

o not drive holding the steering wheel
by
  its   spokes   or   resting   your   hands   on  
the

  centre   part   of   the   wheel.
d

o not allow passengers to place
their
  feet   on   the   dashboard,   they   risk  
serious

  injury   if   the   airbag   is   deployed.
Smoke
  as   little   as   possible   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.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This
 
equipment
 
only
 
operates
 
once.
 
If

 
a
 
second
 
impact
 
occurs
 
(during
 
the
 
same

 
or
 
a
 
subsequent
 
accident),
 
the
 
airbag

 
will
 
not
 
operate.
The
 
deployment

 
of

 
an

 
airbag

 
or

 
airbags

 
is

 
accompanied
 
by
 
a
 
slight
 
discharge
 
of

 
smoke
 
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
 
some

 
irritation.
The
 
noise
 
of
 
the
 
detonation
 
may
 
result
 
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. The

 
passenger's
 
front
 
airbag
 
must
 
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed

 
facing
 
rearward.

Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also
depends
  on   you.c I tr OË n recommends that
children should travel in the rear
seats
  of   your   vehicle:
*
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 one and
a half metres 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,
-

a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearward
facing" position both in the front
and in the rear

. -

"rearward facing" up to the age of 3,
- "forward facing" over the age of 3.

" r earward facing"
When a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat,
the
  passenger's   front   airbag   must   be  
deactivated.

  Otherwise   the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag is deployed.
Adjust
  the   vehicle's   seat   to:
-
 
the
  fully   back   position,   with   the  
backrest

  straightened   for   a   seat  
without

  height   adjuster,
-
 
the
  fully   back   and   highest   position,  
with

  the   backrest   straightened   for   a  
seat

  with   height   adjuster.
"Forward facing"
When a "forward facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat,  the   passenger's   front   airbag   must  
remain

  active.
Adjust
  the   vehicle's   seat   to:
-
 
the
  fully   back   position,   with   the  
backrest

  straightened   for   a   seat  
without

  height   adjuster,
-
 
the
  fully   back   position   and  
highest

  position,   with   the   backrest  
straightened for a seat with height
adjuster

. Ensure that the seat belt is
correctly
  tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg,
ensure that this is in steady contact
with
  the   floor.   If   not,   adjust   the
