The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, depending
on equipment, to identify it.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination
of the under-inflation warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination of the
service warning lamp indicates a fault
with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more

wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(e.g. a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (e.g. fitting
snow tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

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 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 chest and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering wheel, drivers side, and the dashboard,
passenger's side to cushion their for ward
movement. This warning lamp comes on in the
screen located in the roof console
when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can be
deactivated:
F

w
ith the ignition off , insert the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch 1 ,
F

t
urn it to the "OFF" position,
F

t
hen, remove the key keeping the switch in
this position. To assure the safety of your child, the
passenger's airbag must be deactivated
when you install a rear ward facing child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove a rear ward facing child seat,
turn switch 1 to the "ON"
position to reactivate
the airbag and so assure the safety of your
front passenger in the event of an impact.
System which contributes towards the
protection of 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.

Operating fault
If this symbol is displayed in
the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked. 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.
No lateral airbag is deployed in the
event of a rear or front collision.
Curtain airbags*
System which contributes towards the
protection of the driver and passengers (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger) in
the event of a serious side impact, in order to
limit the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is fitted in the pillars and the
upper part of the passenger compartment.
Deployment
It is deployed at the same time as the
corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a
serious side impact 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 curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
* Depending on the country of sale.
Knee airbag
The knee airbag improves protection for the
driver's knees in the event of a serious front
impact.
It is fitted in the dashboard below the steering
column.
Deployment
It is deployed at the same time as the driver's
front airbag.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below: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.
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.
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.
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.
Advice
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...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; 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 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. 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.
