2 possibilities, Airbag clock spring in steering wheel or passenger seat sensor may be faulty.
Either way you need to replace both with appropriate bypass resistor to test.
Disclaimer.
Airbags will explode/deploy if you do not know what you are doing

SOURCE: Citroen C5 airbag fault warning stays on

I had this problem after the dealer serviced the car! They couldn't fix it despite several tries so I was stuck with the fault. Then I remembered I had the same fault in my previous XM model but it would reset on engine re-start. On that car it usually happened after a full left or right steering lock combined with hard braking when maneuvering in tight car parks. I figured that if this caused the problem then maybe it could also cure it. I tried it in a safe place, alternating left and right lock with abrupt braking. It didn't seem to clear the fault but after a 15 minute trip to the shopping centre I was surprised to find that the fault was gone when I re-started the engine! I have not had this problem in over a year now despite living with it for over three weeks at the time.

Contact the manufacturer directly and get loud until they respond if they have worked on this issue before keep all of your paperwork showing what they have done as well as when they did it a paper trail is important

SOURCE: citroen dispatch white smoke

That is bad news & a bad head gasket

White Smoke is coolant in exhaust

Why would you ask if that is normal?

Is that what you see following other vehicles?

How do i reset my deployed headrest in my crystler 200 i was rear ended
There is no resetting a deployed airbag. The air bag module must be replaced and the airbag control module will need replacing along with the seatbelt pre-tensioners.

I disconnected the wires under seat to remove seat when replacing air blower , now my airbag light is on , how do I reset it
It should reset automatically if the plugs were reconnected properly
When I took the seats out on mine and put them back in the airbag fault light came on because the steering wheel airbag went faulty
So one of the other airbags or seatbelt tensioners is showing a fault only way to find out which is to get the fault codes read to find what it is that's unhappy




So it could be one of the other bags has had ahissy fit so get the fault codes read to find which one is faulty or poorly connected

Light stays on 2010 citroen C4 driver airbag
there are airbag connectors under the front seats. I have had an experience with another car and found faulty connectors, Because it is happening all the time, I would start looking at the Drivers side first. Maybe change the connector or add a piece of wire around the connector. Not the switch in the seat, jus the wire connectors,

Air Bag Light came on this morning
If the AIRBAG light is coming on while you are driving it means that your Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) or "Aibag Module" has a malfunction and that the restraint system WILL NOT WORK in the event of an accident. I use the words "Supplemental Restraint System" and not "Airbag" because most people do not realize that the seatbelt pre-tensioners, the drivers, passenger, and side airbags (if equipped) are all included in this. I don't mean to be over-dramatic, but that light being on could quite literally make the difference between life and death in the event of an accident.

A very common cause of this is a failure of the Contact Assembly (Also Known As "ClockspringAssembly") in the steering column just under the steering wheel.
There are at lest 2 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) published by Ford Motor Company that may apply to your situation:

TSB 02-21-7 Which discusses known wiring problems under the driver's seat and in the area of the pre-tensioner assemblies.

TSB 04-25-15 Which covers the possibility of a faulty forward crash sensor, side crash sensor, faulty wiring to the crash sensors or a defective Restraint Control Module. (RCM)

You need to have your restraint system diagnosed as soon as possible - even if the light goes out again. There will be a fault code that a qualified technician can use to determine what is causing the fault.

Air bag light started coming on /dash constantly
the likely fault is the cables running to the seatbelt pre-tensioners under the drivers or passengers seat in the front of the car.

This may be simply the plug and socket have become seperated from sliding the seat back to clean, a common fault, or the airbag "clockspring" connection unit in the steering wheel has a broken ribbon cable inside the column housing.

To see if its the airbag clockspring, buy a 4 ohm resistor from maplin or radio shack, disconnect the battery on the car, unplug the airbag in the steering wheel and connect the resistor across the 2 contacts in place of the airbag, reconnect the battery, if the light goes out the clockspring is the fault, if not its the SRS system wiring under the seats.

Srs light is blinking
When the airbag light (SRS) is on it means a fault has occurred in the system and the airbag diagnostic monitor has disabled the system, the most common problem that turns the light on is a break in the connection to the steering wheel mounted airbag, this is due to a rotating ribbon contact that breaks under the steering wheel that connects the airbag to the wiring harness and the diagnostic monitor, the part is called th clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the wheel
