Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) 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.
Deployment
The 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.
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.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and this display appears in the
instrument panel screen, 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.
