183Safety
Airbags


System designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger) in the event of violent collisions.
It supplements the action of the force-limiting
seat belts (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:


- in the case of a serious impact, the airbagsare deployed instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger); immediatelyafter the impact, the airbags deflate rapidlyso that they do not hinder visibility or theexit of the occupants,

- in the case of a minor or rear impact or incer tain roll-over conditions, the airbags
will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is sufficient to provide optimum protection in
these situations.
The airbags do not operate when theignition is switched off.This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), theairbag will not be deployed again.


Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

Deployment of the airbag(s) isaccompanied by a slight emissionof harmless smoke and a noise, dueto the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slightirritation.
The noise of the detonation may result ina slight loss of hearing for a shor t time.

Safety

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:)inser t the key in the passenger airbagdeactivation switch,)turn it to the "OFF"position, )then, remove the key keeping the switch in
the new position.

According to version, this warninglamp comes on in the instrumentpanel and/or in the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps displaywhen the ignition is on and until the airbag is
reactivated.
To assure the safety of your child,the passenger's front airbag mustbe deactivated when you install a "rear facing" child seat on the front passenger seat. Other wise, the child would risk beingseriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn the switch to the "ON"position to reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger in the event of an impact.
With the i
gnition on, this warninglamp comes on in the seat belt andpassenger's front airbag warning lamps display for approximately oneminute, if the passenger's front airbag
is activated.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel and/or in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning lamps
display, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. The passenger's front airbag may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
If even one of the two airbag warning lamps comes on continuously, do notinstall a child seat on the front passenger seat.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


If this warning lamp comes on in theinstrument panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and the display of amessage, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The airbags mayno longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre par t of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on thedashboard.
If possible, 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.



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 cancontact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practicalinformation - § Accessories").
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag isdeployed.
Do not sit with the upper par t 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 thecurtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a par t in securing the cur tain airbags.


Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupantsand 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 beenstolen or broken into, have the airbagsystems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carriedout 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
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the sametime discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.

Stop & Start The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per
fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
With the electronic gearbox system, for your comfor t during parking maoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such asbraking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key. Th
e "ECO"warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically:
-with a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever into neutral and release the clutchpedal,
- with the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system, at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h),
when you press the brake pedal or put thegear lever into position N.
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time counter calculates
the sum o
f the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets
itself to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver’s door is open,

- the driver’s seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start usingthe key,

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

-the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger compartment,
- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.


Special cases: STOP modeunavailable

In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

213Driving

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"warning lamp goes off and the engine star ts automatically:
-with a manual gearbox
, when you fullydepress the clutch pedal,-with the 6-speed electronic gearbox
system:●
gear lever in position Aor M
, when yourelease the brake pedal,
●
or gear lever in position Nand the brake pedal released, when you move the gear lever to position A
or M,●
or when you engage reverse gear.


Special cases: START invoked automatically

If the system has been deactivatedin STOP mode, the engine restar ts immediately.

With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,if a gear is engaged without fullydepressing the clutch pedal,a warning lamp comes on or an aler t message is displayed asking you to depress the clutch pedal to restar t
the engine.
At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch todeactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by the display of amessage.


Deactivation
In this case the "ECO"warning lamp flashes for few seconds, then goesof f.
This operation is per fectly normal.
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth
operation, START mode is invoked
automatically when:
- you open the driver’s door,
- you unfasten the driver’s seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual gearbox or 7 mph (11 k m/h) with the 6 -speed electronic
gearbox system,
- the electric parkin
g brake is being applied,
- some special conditions (battery charge,engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...
) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
