Good practice
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hinder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systemisstrictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualiedpersonnelataCITROËN
dealeroraqualied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.Infact,
thebaginatesalmostinstantly(within
afewmilliseconds)thendeateswithin
thesametimedischargingthehotgas
viaopeningsprovidedforthispurpose.
Lateral airbags
Onlyputrecommendedcoverson
theseats.Thesewillnothinder
inationofthelateralairbags.Contact
aCITROËNdealeroraqualied
workshop.
Donotxorattachanythingtotheseat
backs.Thiscouldcauseinjurytothe
chestorarmswhenthelateralairbag
inates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
byitsspokesorrestingyourhandson
thecentrepartofthewheel.
Do not allow passengers to place
theirfeetonthedashboard,theyrisk
seriousinjuryiftheairbagisdeployed.
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.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Thisequipmentonlyoperatesonce.
Ifasecondimpactoccurs(duringthe
sameorasubsequentaccident),the
airbagwillnotoperate.
Thedeploymentofanairbagorairbags
isaccompaniedbyaslightdischarge
ofsmokeandanoise,duetothe
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporatedinthesystem.
Thissmokeisnotharmful,but
sensitiveindividualsmayexperience
someirritation.
Thenoiseofthedetonationmayresult
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Thepassenger'sfrontairbagmust
be deactivated if a child seat is
installedrearwardfacing.
