In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance 
guidelines below:
F 
T
 o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles 
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well 
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F
 
D
 o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation 
of the air conditioning system.
F
 
O
 perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month 
to keep it in per fect working order.
F
 
E
 nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter 
elements replaced regularly.
 W
e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its 
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the 
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F
 
T
 o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have 
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F
 
I
 f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, 
the interior temperature is very high, first 
ventilate the passenger compartment for 
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high 
enough to quickly change the air in the 
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not 
contain chlorine and does not present 
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air 
conditioning results in a discharge 
of water under the vehicle which is 
per fectly normal.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the 
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards 
improving the safety of the occupants (with 
the exception of the rear centre passenger) 
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags 
supplement the action of the force-limiting 
seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear 
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors 
record and analyse the front and side impacts 
sustained in the impact detection zones:
- 
i
 n the case of a serious impact, the airbags 
are deployed instantly and contribute 
towards better protection of the occupants 
of the vehicle (with the exception of the 
rear centre passenger); immediately after 
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so 
that they do not hinder visibility or the exit 
of the occupants,
-
 
i
 n the case of a minor or rear impact or in 
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags 
may not be deployed; the seat belt 
alone contributes towards ensuring your 
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the 
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. 
If a second impact occurs (during the 
same or a subsequent accident), the 
airbag will not be deployed again. Deployment of one or more of the 
airbags is accompanied by a slight 
emission of smoke and a noise, due 
to the activation of the pyrotechnic 
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 
individuals may experience slight 
irritation.
The noise of detonation related to the 
deployment of one or more airbags may 
result in a slight loss of hearing for a 
short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S
ide impact zone.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the 
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, 
in the event of a serious front impact applied 
to all or part of the front impact zone A , in 
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a 
horizontal plane and directed from the front to 
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front 
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to 
cushion their for ward movement. System which contributes toward improving 
protection for the head and chest of the driver 
and front passenger in the event of a front 
impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the 
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is 
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Knee airbag*
Deployment
It is deployed at the same time as the front 
airbags. System which contributes towards improving 
the protection of the driver's knees in the event 
of a serious front impact.
This airbag is fitted in the dashboard below the 
steering column.System which contributes towards improving 
protection for the driver and passenger in the 
event of a serious side impact in order to limit 
the risk of injury to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front seat 
back frame, on the door side.Deployment
The lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the 
event of a serious side impact applied to all or 
part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular 
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a 
horizontal plane and directed from the outside 
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front 
occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding 
door trim panel.

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 been 
stolen or broken into, 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 observed, 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.
Knee airbag*
Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the 
steering wheel than necessary.
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 fit or attach anything to the steering 
wheel or dashboard, this could cause 
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, 
compatible with the deployment the lateral 
airbags. For information on the range of seat 
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can 
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat 
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury 
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is 
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any 
nearer to the door than necessary.
* According to country.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This 
could cause injury to the head if the curtain 
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the 
grab handles installed on the roof, they play 
a part in securing the curtain airbags.
Avoid attaching a heavy object to the key as 
it could become a dangerous projectile if the 
airbag were deployed.
