Airbags - CITROEN C4 Handbook

AIRBAGS

Your vehicle may have:
• A driver's airbag located in the
steering wheel, under the central
cover.
• A passenger's airbag in the dash-
board.
• Two side airbags located in the
backrests of the driver's seat
and front passenger's seat (door
side).
• Two curtain airbags located on
the interior edges of the roof.
The control unit for the airbags and
sensors analyses any frontal and
lateral impacts suffered in the colli-
sion detection zones (see illustration
p 91).

According to the degree of serious-
ness of impacts, it determines:
• Whether the seat belt is sufficient
to protect you (Slight impact).
• Whether the seat belt preten-
sioner needs to be additionally
actioned in order to hold you in
your seat (Medium impact).
• Whether the airbag should be
deployed in addition to the two
initial systems (Violent impact).
Never deactivate the passenger's
airbag when a passenger is present
(unless a child in a rear-facing child
seat). See "Passenger's
deactivation".
Each time you switch on the ignition,
a warning lamp in the dashboard
lights up for a few seconds and then
goes out.
Consult a CITROËN dealer in the
following situations:
• The warning lamp flashes for a
few minutes then remains on.
• The warning lamp does not light
up.
• A message appears on the display.
Replacement of the pyro-
technic systems associa-
ted with the airbags
After the airbags
deployed, the pyrotechnic sys-
tems have to be changed in strict
compliance with the manufac-
turer's specifications.
