GENERAL INFORMATION
Your vehicle may have:
- A driver’s airbag located in the steering wheel, under the central cover.
- A knees airbag under the steer-ing column.
- A passenger's airbag in the dashboard.
- Two side airbags located in the backrests of the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat (door side).
- Two curtain airbags located on the interior edges of the roof.
- Two rear side airbags located door side in the backrests of the rear RH and LH seats.
The control unit for the airbags and sensors analyses any fron-tal and lateral impacts suffered in the collision detection zones (see illustration). According to the de-gree of seriousness of impacts, it determines:
- Whether the seat belt is suffi cient to protect you (Slight impact).
- Whether the seat belt preten-sioner needs to be additionally actioned in order to hold you in your seat (Medium impact).
- Whether the airbag should be deployed in addition to the two initial systems (Violent impact).
Each time you switch on the igni-tion, a warning lamp in the dash-board lights up for a few seconds and then goes out.
Consult a CITROËN dealer in the following situations:
- The warning lamp fl ashes for a few minutes then remains on.
- The warning lamp does not light up.
- A message appears on the dis-play.

Front airbags and knees airbags
For these airbags to deploy, it re-quires a violent frontal impact ap-plied on all or part of the frontal impact zone (see illustration) from forward of the vehicle in a horizon-tal plane.
The airbag interposes itself be-tween the vehicle's front occupant and the dashboard to cushion the person from being thrown forward. The airbag thus limits the risk of trauma to the head and chest. For the driver, the knees airbag pro-tects the knees.
The front passenger’s airbag can be deactivated. See “Passenger's airbag deactivation”.
Side airbags and curtain airbags
Deployment of these airbags re-quires a violent lateral impact ap-plied on all or part of one of the lateral collision zones, coming in a horizontal plane from the side.
The role of the side airbag is to place itself between the occupant (driver or front passenger) and the door panel, thus limiting the risk of injuries to the chest.
The rear side airbags give the rear passengers (except the central passenger) the same protection as that given by the front side air-bags to the front occupants.
The role of the curtain airbag is to place itself between the front or rear occupant and the windows, thus limiting the risk of injuries to the head.
Impact detection zones
A.Area of frontal impact
B. Area of side impact
These airbags may not deploy if there is only a slight collision on the side of the vehicle, or if the vehicle rolls over.
They will not deploy for a front or rear collision.

The wearing of seat belts is compulsory for all vehicle occupants. Inside the cab-in, the seat belt is the most impor-tant protection for passengers.
The airbag is a protection in addi-tion to the seat belt. Its effective-ness requires the seat belt to be worn correctly.
The driver and passengers must adopt a normal, vertical sitting position that is compatible with deployment of the airbags.
Never attach anything to the steering wheel central cover, to the sides of the front seats or to the vehicle pillars or roof (risk of injuries should the airbags de-ploy).
Do not smoke in the vehicle (risk of burns or injury should the air-bag be deployed.
Do not leave any accessory or object on the dashboard or be-tween your body and the airbag (risk of malfunction or personal injury).
Fit only seat covers that are ap-proved by CITROËN.Fit only seat covers that are ap-Fit only seat covers that are ap-
Do not put your feet on the dash-board (risk of injury should the front passenger airbag deploy).
The airbags do not deploy in the case of a slight collision or an im-pact at the rear of the vehicle or in certain manoeuvring conditions.
The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a small release of unharmful smoke, as well as by a detonation that is caused by the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge integral to the system. This smoke is not toxic but may be an irritant to per-sons who are sensitive.
The noise of the detonation may affect hearing for a brief time.
Vacate the vehicle as soon as possible after the accident (pro-vided it is safe to do so). If this is not possible, open the windows or doors.
Even observing all the advised precautions, the risk of injury or slight burning to the head, chest or arms during deployment of an airbag cannot be ruled out. In fact, infl ation of the airbag is virtually instantaneous (approx. 30 milliseconds); then it defl ates in the same time, emitting hot gases through holes provided for this purpose.
This equipment works only once. If there is a further impact (dur-ing the same accident or a sub-sequent accident), the airbag will not deploy again.
After the airbags have deployed, the pyrotechnic systems have to be changed in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s specifi -cations.
