Lateral airbags
Deployment
A lateral airbag is deployed 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 lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the corresponding door trim panel.
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,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and
passengers in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head.
Each curtain airbag is fitted in the pillars
and the upper section of the passenger
compartment.
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
triggered.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
the airbag is not triggered.
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.
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.
