For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Front airbags
Curtain airbags
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 system is
strictly forbidden unless it is carried
out by qualified personnel of the
CITROËN dealer network.
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.
If possible, do not smoke as deploy-
ment 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 apply anything to the
roof. This could cause injury to the
head if the curtain airbag is trig-
gered.
Do not remove the grab handles in-
stalled on the roof, they play a part
in securing the curtain airbags.
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 triggered cannot be ruled
out. The bag inflates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then deflates
within the same time discharging the
hot gas via openings provided for this
purpose.
Side airbags
VIII
Use only approved covers on the
seats. These will not hinder inflation of
the side airbags. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Do not fix or apply anything to the
seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the side air
bag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
