SAFETY
AIRBAGS
FRONT AIRBAGS
Front airbag fault Flashing indicates an airbag
fault, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system
checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed 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 deployed, a noise is heard
during infl ation.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
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. The electronic
detectors register and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in
the impact detection zones (see dia-
gram): if the deployment threshold is
reached, the airbags infl ate instantly
and protect the occupants of the ve-
hicle.
These are fi tted in the centre of the steer-
ing wheel for the driver and in the dash-
board for the front passenger. They are
deployed simultaneously, except in cases
where the passenger's airbag is deacti-
vated, in the event of a serious front im-
pact applied in the impact zone
A in the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle, on
a horizontal 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 there-
fore limit the risk of injury to the head and
chest.

SAFETY
For the front, lateral 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 dealer network or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
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 deployment of an airbag or air-
bags is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and
a noise due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system. This smoke is not harm-
ful but sensitive individuals may ex-
perience 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 deployed 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.
Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the infl a-
tion of the lateral airbags. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
front seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms when the
lateral airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
