Airbags
Designed to contribute towards the safety of the occupants in the event of violent collisions.
T
he airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting
seat belts.
If
a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
r
ecord and analyse the front and side impacts
s
ustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
a
re deployed instantly and contribute
t
owards better protection of the occupants
o
f the vehicle; immediately after the impact,
t
he airbags deflate rapidly so that they
d
o not hinder visibility or the exit of the
o
ccupants,
-
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
c
ertain roll-over conditions, the airbags
m
ay not be deployed; the seat belt alone
c
ontributes towards providing your
p
rotection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off. The
deployment of an airbag is
a
ccompanied by a slight emission
o
f smoke and a noise, due to the
d
etonation of the pyrotechnic charge
i
ncorporated in the system.
This
smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
i
ndividuals may experience slight
ir
ritation.
The
detonation noise associated with
t
he deployment of an airbag may result
i
n a slight loss of hearing for a short
t
ime.
This
equipment will only deploy once.
I
f a second impact occurs (during the
s
ame or a subsequent accident), the
a
irbag will not be deployed again.

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the e
vent of a serious front impact to all or part of the
f
ront impact zone A,
in the longitudinal centreline
o
f the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
f
rom the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The
front airbag inflates between the thorax and
h
ead of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
s
teering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,
p
assenger's side to cushion their for ward
m
ovement.
System
which protects the driver and front
p
assenger in the event of a serious front impact
i
n order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
t
horax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
s
teering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
f
itted in the dashboard above the glove box.

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in
t
he event of an accident.
Check
that there is no seat belt or seat belt
b
uckle under the child seat as this could
de
stabilise
i
t.
Remember
to fasten the seat belts or the
c
hild seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation
to the child's body to a minimum,
even
for short journeys.
For
the installation of a child seat using a
s
eat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
o
n the child seat and that it is holding the
c
hild seat firmly against the seat of your
v
ehicle. If your front passenger seat is
a
djustable, move it for ward if necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
between the front seat and:
-
a
rear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
f
acing child seat.
For
this, move the front seat for ward and if
n
ecessary straighten its backrest.
Recommendations on child seats
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without
t
ouching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes
correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN
recommends the use of a booster
s
eat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
g
uide at shoulder level.
As
a safety precaution, never leave:
-
o
ne or more children alone and
u
nsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a
child or an animal in a vehicle which
i
s exposed to the sun, with the windows
c
losed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
t
he vehicle.
To
prevent accidental opening of the doors,
u
se the "Child lock".
Take
care not to open the rear windows by
m
ore than one third.
To
protect young children from the rays of
t
he sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
The
legislation
on
carrying
a
child
