seats CITROEN C-ELYSÉE 2022 Handbook (in English)

Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor
fix or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; this could cause
injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original layout of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly around
the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
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. The bag inflates
almost instantly (within a few milliseconds)
then deflates within the same time discharging
the hot gas via openings provided for this
purpose.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.
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.
Do not fix or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the variety of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as this
could cause injuries to the thorax or arm if the
lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.

General points relating to
child seats

‘ISOFIX’ mountings
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
The seats, shown below, are fitted with ISOFIX
compliant mountings:
-

A r
ing B, located under a cover on the back
of the top of the seat backrest, referred to
as the TOP TETHER , for fixing the upper
strap. It is indicated by a marking.
The TOP TETHER is used to secure the upper
strap of child seats that have one. This device
limits for ward tipping of the child seat, in the
event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system ensures fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are easily secured on the two
rings A .
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the ring B . When installing an ISOFIX child seat on the
right hand rear seat, before securing the seat,
first move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle, so as to not inter fere with
the operation of the seat belt.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Strictly obser ve the fitting instructions
provided with the child seat.
For information on the options for installing
ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle, refer to the
summary table.
