The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
In the event of a
minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a
rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a
normal and upright sitting
position.
Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is
positioned correctly.
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 definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems 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 airbag 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 with deployment of the
airbags.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when
the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they
play a


part in securing the curtain airbags.

Safety

112
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
product range of seat covers suitable for
your vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could
cause injuries to the thorax or arm when
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.
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.General points relating to

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a
minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a


child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a
child seat with
a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint
when the child seat is removed. Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-

a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, straighten its backrest.
For optimal installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seats.
Other wise, there is a
risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed.
Safety

125
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a
booster seat with
a
backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a
safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and
unattended in a
vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.

The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
With a
manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
This arrow may be pointing up or down,
depending on the context.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:

Stop & Start
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other, etc.). The engine restarts automatically –
START mode – as soon as you wish to move off
again.
Restarting occurs instantaneously, quickly and
silently.

If your vehicle is fitted with this system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a
journey. It resets to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the
"START/STOP" button. For your convenience, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the "START/STOP" button.
