Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear   a   correctly   adjusted   seat   belt.
Do

c

ould   cause   injuries   during   their   deployment.
Never
  modify   the   original   definition   of   your  
v

around
  the   airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen
  or   broken   into,   have   the   airbag  
s

All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   must   be  
c

arried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
Even
  if   all   of   the   precautions   mentioned  
a

re   observed,   a   risk   of   injury   or   of   minor  
b

urns   to   the   head,   chest   or   arms   when   an  
a

Advice
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible  with   the   deployment   the   lateral  
a

irbags.   For   information   on   the   range   of   seat  
c

overs suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact
  a   CITROËN dealer.

b

acks   (clothing...).   This   could   cause   injury  
t

o   the   chest   or   arms   if   the   lateral   airbag   is  
d

eployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer
  to   the   door   than   necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could   cause   injury   to   the   head   if   the   curtain  
a

irbag   is   deployed.
If
  fitted   on   your   vehicle,   do   not   remove   the  
g

rab   handles   installed   on   the   roof,   they   play  
a

  part   in   securing   the   curtain   airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:
