Occupant safety

~2min read

Occupant safety has the highest priority in the Citroën C6 (1st generation, 2005–2012). This chapter covers key protection features such as deactivating the passenger airbag for child seats, the ISOFIX system for the rear seats, and the electric child lock for doors and windows. Clear illustrations support each step. A precise description of these safety systems helps minimise risks and build confidence in the vehicle's technology.

Passenger airbag deactivation

Sicherheit der Insassen

If a rearward-facing child seat is installed on the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag must be deactivated.

To do so:

  • With the ignition switched off, insert the key into lock position A.
  • Turn the key to position "OFF"; the passenger airbag is deactivated.

The passenger airbag deactivation indicator on the instrument cluster illuminates when the ignition is switched on.

Child lock

Sicherheit der Insassen

It disables the rear window switches and the opening of the rear doors from the inside. The electric child lock is activated by pressing control B.

A message appears to confirm that the child lock is activated.

ISOFIX anchorage system

Sicherheit der Insassen

The ISOFIX system is fitted to each outer rear seat with 3 anchorage points:

  • Two rings C and D between the backrest and the seat cushion of the vehicle seat.
These are approx. 28 cm apart and on the rear bench are covered by a flap bearing the ISOFIX logo.
  • An upper ring E on the rear parcel shelf, covered by the flap marked TOP TETHER behind the head restraint.
  • Occupant safety has the highest priority in the Citroën C6. Well-designed systems, such as passenger airbag deactivation for child seats and the integrated child lock, ensure a high level of protection for all passengers. These features underline the family-friendly concept of the saloon.

    The ISOFIX anchorage system deserves particular mention, as it allows child seats to be installed quickly and securely. This makes the Citroën C6 an ideal companion for families and safety-conscious drivers. The harmonious interaction of all systems provides a reassuring feeling on every journey.

    With these safety features, the Citroën C6 proves that it impresses not only through its design but also through protection and comfort. The combination of modern technology and simple operation makes the vehicle an excellent choice for safety-oriented drivers.
