Airbags



LATERAL AIRBAGS


Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a
serious side impact, 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 of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.

In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
deployed.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay to have
the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.

Airbags



FRONT AIRBAGS

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.

Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated. The airbag is deactivated from
the trip computer.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated. To assure the safety of your child, you
must deactivate the passenger airbag
when you install a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
Refer to the "MENU" section of
chapter 3, then select OFF
on the
"Passenger airbag" menu.
Operating fault

If the two airbag warning lamps are
on continuously, do not install a rear-
facing child seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message in the screen, contract
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
without delay to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.

SAFETY



Airbags



For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the following safety rules:
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...). This could hamper the operation
of the airbags or injure the occupants.
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 or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag inflates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then deflates within the
same time, discharging the hot gas through
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.
Smoke as little as possible 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
Only put approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of
seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you
can contact a CITROËN dealer. Refer to the
"Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

Child safety



GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD
SEATS
Although one of CITROËN's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:


- in accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings.

- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for the transportation of
children are the rear seats,

- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing"
position in the front.


CITROËN recommends that children should
travel in the rear seats of your vehicle:


- "rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2 ,

- "forwards-facing" from the age of 2.


INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT

"Rearwards-facing"


Do not forget to disarm the airbag
before installing the child.
When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat , it is essential that the
passenger airbag is disarmed. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were to
inflate .
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat , leave the
passenger airbag armed.
The rules for transporting children are
specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats
approved in your country. The Isofix
mountings, the rear seats, the passenger
airbag and the disarming of this airbag
depend on the version sold.

Child safety

To disarm or activate the passenger
airbag, refer to Chapter 3, "MENU".
CHILD SEATS RECOMMENDED BY CITROËN

CITROËN offers a complete range of recommended child seats which are secured using a
three point seat belt
:
The child seats function is shared by
the entire CITROËN range. However,
each individual model has its own special
features.
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
passenger airbag must be disarmed using
the trip computer MENU button.
If your vehicle is not fitted with the
passenger airbag disarming function, the
installation of a "rear-facing" child seat on
the vehicle's front seat is strictly prohibited.
The passenger must not travel with a child
on his lap.

Group 0+: from birth to 13 kg





L1
"RÖMER Baby-Safe Plus"
Installed in the rearwards-facing position.


Groups 2 and 3: from 15 to 36 kg





L3

From the age of
6 years (approximately
22 kg), the booster is

Child safety


ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS


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.
CITROËN recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

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

- the keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the "Child lock". Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the "forward facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate. The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
in
relation to the child's body to a minimum
,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle's seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
To protect young children from the sun, fit
side blinds on the rear windows.
