seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving their protection.Fastening

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre par t of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on thedashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment 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.




Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seatcovers suitable for your vehicle, you cancontact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practical information - § Accessories").
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injuryto the chest or arms if the lateral airbag isdeployed.
Do not sit with the upper par t of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof.This could cause injury to the head if thecurtain airbag is deployed. If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove thegrab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing the cur tain airbags.

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has beenstolen or broken into, have the airbagsystems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentionedare obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.
