Get Safety -> Air bags Guide for Citroen Dispatch Van Second Generation (2007-2015)

Air bags

Air bags 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 air bag will not

operate.

The triggering of an air bag or air bags

is accompanied by a slight discharge of

harmless 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.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to

and in certain roll-over conditions,

the air bags will not be deployed; the

seat belt alone is sufficient to provide

maximum protection in these situations.

maximise the safety of the occupants in the

event of a serious collision; they work in

conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, the

electronic detectors record and analyse the

front and side impacts suffered in the impact

detection zones:

The seriousness of the collision depends on

the nature of the obstacle and the speed of

the vehicle at the moment of impact.

It is imperative that the passenger

air bag is disarmed if a child seat is

installed facing rearwards. Refer to the

"Children on board" section of chapter 4.

-

in the event of a serious impact, the air

bags inflate instantly and protect the

occupants of the vehicle. Immediately

after the impact, the air bags deflate

rapidly, so that they do not hinder the

visibility of the occupants nor their

possible exit from the vehicle.

Side air bags

Good practice

Only put recommended covers on the seats.

These will not hinder inflation of the side air

bags. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Sit in a normal upright position.

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Do not leave anything between the

occupants and the air bags (a child, pet,

object...). This could hamper the operation

of the air bags or injure the occupants.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body

any nearer to the door than necessary.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen or broken into, have the air bag

systems checked.

All work on the air bag system is strictly

forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified

personnel of the CITROËN network.

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 air bag

is triggered 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 via openings

provided for this purpose.

Front air bags

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 fascia, they risk serious injury if the

air bag is triggered.

Smoke as little as possible as deployment of

the air bags can cause burns or the risk of

injury from a cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel

or hit it violently.

Air bags

To ensure the safety of your child, it

is essential to disarm the passenger

air bag 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 air bag were to inflate.

Reactivation

In the "OFF" position, the passenger air

bag will not be triggered in the event of an

impact.

Disarming

Front air bags

As soon as the child seat is removed, turn

the air bag slot to the "ON" position to

re-activate the air bag and thus ensure the

safety of your passenger in the event of an

impact.

The passenger’s front air bag alone can be

disarmed:

The front air bags are incorporated in the

centre of the steering wheel for the driver

and in the fascia for the front passenger.

the passenger’s front air bag has been

disarmed, in the event of a serious front

impact applied to all or part of the front

impact zone A in the longitudinal centreline

of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed

from the front towards the rear of the

vehicle.

then remove the key keeping the slot in

this position.

If this warning light comes on,

accompanied by an audible signal

and a message on the display,

contact a CITROËN dealer to

have the system checked.

The air bag warning light on the

instrument panel is lit throughout

the period of disarming.

If the two air bag warning lights are lit

continuously, do not install a rear-

facing child seat. Consult a CITROËN

dealer.

The front air bag inflates between the front

occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to

cushion his forward movement.

Operating fault

If this warning light comes

and a message on the display,

contact a CITROËN dealer to

have the system checked. The air bags

may no longer be triggered in the event of a

serious impact.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

Side air bags

If fitted on your vehicle, this is a system

which protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side

impact in order to limit the risk of injury to

the chest.

In the event of a minor impact or bump

on the side of the vehicle or if the

vehicle rolls over, the air bag may not be

triggered.

Each side air bag is incorporated in the front

seat back frame, on the door side.

The air bag is not triggered in the event of a

rear or front collision.

Activation

It is triggered unilaterally in the event of a

serious side impact applied to all or part

of the side impact zone B, perpendicular

to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle

on a horizontal plane and directed from the

outside towards the inside of the vehicle.

The side air bag inflates between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the

corresponding door trim pad.
