Safety
Malfunction
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.
In this case, do not install a child seat
nor allow a passenger to sit in the front
passenger seat.
Lateral airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe side impact
to minimise the risk of injury to the chest,
between hip and shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Deployment
A lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the
event of a severe side impact applied to all or
part of 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 lateral airbag inflates between the hip
and shoulder of the front occupant and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
This system protects the driver and passengers
in the event of a severe lateral impact in order
to limit the risk of injury to the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
Each curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag 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 curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of
a serious impact.
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.
In the event of a rear or front collision, the
airbag is not deployed.
