Passenger airbag OFF

For more information on deactivatingthe airbag, refer to the "Safety" section then "Airbags".
Re
fer to the advice given on the label present
on both sides of the passenger's sun visor. To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's front airbag when you install a child seat in the rear wards facing position on the frontpassenger's seat.Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.

The driver must ensure that passengers usethe seat belts correctly and that they are allrestrained securely before setting off. Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt isstowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seatbelt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper par t must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation inthe event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling firmly on the strap and releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shor ter than one and a half metres.Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person. Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- be tightened as close to the body as possible,

- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does nottwist,

- be used to restrain only one person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

- not be converted or modified to avoidaffecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safetyregulations, for all repairs on your vehicle, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a CITROËN dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage. Clean the seat belt straps with soapywater or a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear benchseat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact
, thepretensioning device may be deployedbefore and independently of the airbags.Deployment of the pretensioners isaccompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic car tridge incorporated in the system. In all cases, the airbag warning lampcomes on.Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Safety
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-limitingseat belts (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger).
I
f 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 incertain 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 the ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during thesame or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is accompanied by a slight emission of harmless smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic cartridgeincorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitiveindividuals may experience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may resultin a slight loss of hearing for a shor ttime.

Front airbags


Deployment

The airbags are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact to all or par t 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 thorax andhead of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their for ward movement.

System which protects the driver and front
passenger 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's airbag isfitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

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

g to version, this warning lamp comes on either in the
instrument panel or in the seat belt
and passen
ger's front airbag warninglamp display when the ignition is on and until
the airbag is reactivated.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag must be deactivated when you install a "rear facing"child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk beingseriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
If even one of the two airbag warning lamps comes on continuously, donot install a child seat on the frontpassenger seat.
