SAFETY
AIRBAGS
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-lim-
iting seat belts. The electronic detec-
tors register and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle in the im-
pact detection zones (see diagram):
if the triggering threshold is reached,
the airbags infl ate instantly and pro-
tect the occupants of the vehicle.
FRONT AIRBAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passenger
air bag is deactivated, in the event
of a serious front impact applied in
the impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a hori-
zontal plane and from the front of the
vehicle towards the rear. The airbag
infl ates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion his forward movement. The
airbags therefore limit the risk of in-
jury to the head and chest.
Front airbag malfunction
Flashing indicates an air-
bag malfunction, contact a
CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be
triggered in the event of a serious
impact .

Note: the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags defl ate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle. The air bags are not de-
ployed in the case of minor impacts,
rear impacts or in certain roll-over
conditions. The seat belt is suffi cient
to ensure maximum protection in
these situations. The seriousness of
a collision depends on the nature of
the obstacle and the speed of the ve-
hicle at the moment of the collision.

Airbags
only operate when the ig-
nition is switched on. When they
are triggered, a noise is heard dur-
ing infl ation.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

SAFETY

For the front, side and
curtain
airbags
to be fully
effective, observe the fol-
lowing 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 car-
ried out by qualifi ed personnel of the
CITROËN network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked. 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; deploy-
ment 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.
Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
airbag infl ates.
The triggering of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight emission
of harmless smoke and a noise due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the sys-
tem. This smoke is not harmful but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is triggered can-
not be ruled out. Indeed, the bag in-
fl ates almost instantly (approximately
30 milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging hot gas via
the openings provided for this purpose.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the airbag will not infl ate.
Side airbags
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the in-
fl ation of the side airbags. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
front seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms when the
side airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
