Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel ; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact to all or part of
the frontal 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 thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger side to cushion their
for ward movement. When driving
, keep the glove box closed.
Other wise, this could cause injury in the
event of an accident or sudden braking.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone, 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's abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
(row 2 and 3)
Feel , Shine , Business Lounge
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
contributes towards greater protection for the
passengers (with the exception of the centre
seats) 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 built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area. If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
protects the driver and front passenger in the
event of a serious side impact, in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest, between the
abdomen and head.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Safety

119
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, 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 outer
rear passenger and the windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must 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.
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 upright sitting position.
Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly
positioned and adjusted.
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, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag systems must only
be per formed 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 cannot
be ruled out when an airbag is deployed.
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, as this
could cause injuries when the airbags are
deployed.

trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased sensitivity to wind
that your vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
