SAFETY
Airbags
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front airbags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver
and in the fascia for the front passenger.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless the
passenger's front airbag has been disarmed,
in the event of a serious front impact.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement.
Disarming
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
disarmed. The airbag is disarmed from the
trip computer.
The airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm 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 lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-
facing child seat. Consult a CITROËN
dealer .
If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
consult a CITROËN dealer without delay
to have the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be triggered in the event of a
serious impact.
