Airbags Front airbags


Front airbag fault

Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder
the visibility of the occupants nor their exit if
necessary from the vehicle. The air bags are
not deployed in the case of minor impacts, rear impacts or in cer tain roll-over conditions. The seat belt is sufficient to ensure maximumprotection in these situations. The seriousness
of a collision depends on the nature of the
obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the
m
oment of the collision.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is switched on. When they are deployed, a
noise is heard during inflation.
The airbags have been designed to maximise
the safety of the occupants in the event of serious collisions. They work in conjunction
with the force-limiting seat belts. Theelectronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in the
impact detection zones (see diagram): if the
deployment threshold is reached, the airbags
in
flate instantly and protect the occupants of
the vehicle.

These are
fitted in the centre of the steeringwheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger. They are deployed simultaneously, except in cases where thepassenger's airbag is deactivated, in theevent of a serious front impact applied in the
impact zone A
in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane and from
th
e front of the vehicle towards the rear. T he
airba
g inflates between the front occupant of
the vehicle and the dashboard to cushion hisfor ward movement. The airbags therefore limit
the risk of injury to the head and chest.
A.Front impact zone.B. Side impact zone.
Note:
the gas escaping from the airbags can be a minor irritant.
Flashin
g indicates an airbag fault, contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of a serious
impact.
Impact detection zones

56Safety
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.
Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the
airbags can cause burns or the risk of injuryfrom a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.


Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the pillars or the
roof. This could cause injury to the head when
the cur tain airbag inflates.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags is
accompanied b
y a slight emission of harmlesssmoke and a noise due to the activation of
the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system. This smoke is not harmful but sensitiveindividuals may experience some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in a slight loss
of hearing for a shor t time.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, injury or slight burns to the head,chest or arms when the air bag is deployed cannot be ruled out. Indeed, the bag inflates
almost instantly (approximately 30 milliseconds)
then deflates within the same time discharginghot gas via the openings provided for thispurpose.
This equipment will only operate once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or asubsequent accident), the airbag will not inflate.



Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the seats, these
will not hamper the inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seatbacks. This could cause injury to the chest or
arms when the lateral airba
g inflates.
Do not sit with the upper par t of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
For the front, lateral and cur tain airbags to be fully effective, obser ve the following safety rules:Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. Sit in a normal upright position. Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (child, animal, object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. All work on the airbag systems is strictly prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the CITROËN dealer network or a qualified workshop.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have theairbag systems checked.
