Front airbags

In the event of a severe frontal collision, the system protects the driver and front passenger, reducing the risk of head and chest injuries.

The driver airbag is located in the center of the steering wheel, and the passenger airbag is located in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deployment

Airbags deploy in a severe frontal collision affecting all or part of the front impact zone A, in line with the vehicle's longitudinal axis in the horizontal plane and in the front-to-rear direction. The front passenger airbag, if deactivated, does not deploy.

The airbag inflates between the head and chest of the front seat occupant and the dashboard to cushion forward movement.

Deactivation

Only the front passenger airbag can be deactivated:

• with the ignition off, insert the key into the front passenger airbag switch,
• turn the key to the "OFF" position,
• then remove the key without changing its position.

This warning lamp illuminates in the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on and remains lit for as long as the airbag is deactivated.

Reactivation

After removing the child seat installed "rearward-facing", turn the switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and protect the front passenger in the event of a collision.

Malfunction

If this warning lamp illuminates
in the instrument panel, contact a CITROËN dealership or a specialist workshop immediately to have the system checked. The airbags may not deploy in a severe impact.
