Installing electrical accessories:  
– The fitting of electrical equipment or  
accessories not approved by CITROËN may  
cause excessive current consumption and  
failure of the vehicle's electrical system.  
Contact a CITROËN dealer for information  
on the range of approved accessories.  
– As a safety measure, access to the  
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's  
electronic systems, is reserved strictly for  
CITROËN dealers, equipped with the special  
tools required (risk of malfunctions of  
the vehicle's electronic systems that could  
cause breakdowns or serious accidents). The  
Manufacturer cannot be held responsible if  
this advice is not followed.  
Warning  
Do not remove the labels attached  
in different places on your vehicle.  
They include safety warnings as well as  
identification information for the vehicle.  
Warning  
For all work on your vehicle, use a  
qualified workshop that has the technical  
information, skills and equipment required,  
all of which a CITROËN dealer is able to  
provide.  
Pressing the red button causes all the direction  
indicators to flash.  
They can operate with the ignition off.  
Horn  
– Any modification or adaptation not  
intended or authorised by CITROËN or  
carried out without meeting the technical  
requirements defined by the Manufacturer  
will result in the suspension of the  
commercial warranty.

Safety  
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/  
Dynamic stability control  
(DSC)  
Electronic stability  
control (ESC)  
Contact a CITROËN dealer.  
Tip  
(Depending on version)  
Normal operation of the ABS may  
make itself felt by slight vibrations of the  
brake pedal.  
The electronic stability control programme  
includes the following systems: – Anti-lock  
braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force  
distribution (EBFD).  
– Emergency braking assistance (EBA).  
– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).  
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control)  
optimises traction by using engine braking and  
by applying the brakes on the driving wheels  
to avoid one or more wheels spinning. It also  
enhances the vehicle's directional stability.  
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s  
trajectory and the path desired by the  
driver, the dynamic stability control system  
automatically uses engine braking and the  
brakes on one or more wheels to return the  
vehicle to the desired path, within the limits of  
the laws of physics.  
Warning  
When braking in an emergency, press  
the brake pedal very firmly and maintain  
this pressure.  
– Dynamic stability control (DSC).  
Anti-lock Braking System  
(ABS) and Electronic Brake  
Force Distribution (EBFD)  
Warning  
When changing wheels (tyres and  
rims), ensure that these are approved by the  
manufacturer for your vehicle.  
These systems are activated automatically  
every time the vehicle is started.  
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability  
and handling during braking, and enable greater  
control while cornering, particularly on poor or  
slippery road surfaces.  
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of  
emergency braking.  
These systems are activated in the  
event of a problem with grip or  
trajectory (confirmed by this warn-  
ing lamp flashing on the instrument  
panel).  
Warning  
After an impact, have these systems  
checked by a CITROËN dealer.  
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by  
wheel.  
Emergency braking  
assistance (EBA)  
Malfunction  
This warning lamp is continuously  
on in the event of an ABS malfunc-  
tion.  
In the event of a malfunction, this  
warning lamp lights up on the instru-  
ment panel, accompanied by the  
display of a message and an audible  
signal.  
In an emergency, this system enables you  
to reach the optimum braking pressure more  
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping  
distance.  
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which  
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a  
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an  
increase in braking efficiency.  
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive  
carefully at a moderate speed.  
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.  
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.  
This warning lamp, accompanied by  
an audible signal, indicates an EBFD  
malfunction.

The front driver/passenger seat belts are fitted  
with inertia reel and a force limiting system.  
ASR/DSC  
Force limiting  
These systems enhance safety during normal  
driving, but should not encourage the driver  
to take extra risks or drive at high speed.  
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,  
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It is  
therefore important for your safety to keep  
these systems activated in all conditions,  
and particularly in difficult conditions.  
Correct operation of these systems depends  
on compliance with the manufacturer's  
recommendations relating to the wheels  
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic  
components, as well as the assembly and  
repair procedures provided by dealers.  
In order to ensure that these systems remain  
effective in wintry conditions, the use of  
snow or all-season tyres is recommended.  
All four wheels must be fitted with tyres  
approved for your vehicle.

current safety regulations, for all work on  
your vehicle's seat belts, contact a qualified  
workshop with the skills and equipment  
needed, which a CITROËN dealer is able to  
provide.  
Have the seat belts checked regularly by  
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,  
particularly if the straps show signs of  
damage.  
Warning  
Do not use a damaged seat belt which  
would result in serious injury.  
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy  
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by  
CITROËN dealers.  
Recommendations for pregnant  
women  
Warning  
Pregnant women should use seat belts,  
although specific recommendations about  
driving should be made by the woman's  
medical advisor. Remember that the lap  
portion of the belt should be worn as low  
as possible across the hips.  
A pregnant woman should not wear the  
seat belt across the stomach which would  
result in serious injury to the fetus and/or  
the pregnant mother.  
Installation  
Airbags  
The lower part of the strap must be  
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.  
The upper part must be positioned on the  
shoulder.  
In order to be effective, a seat belt: –  
must be tightened as close to the body  
as possible; – must be pulled in front of  
General information  
The airbags have been designed to optimise  
the safety of the occupants in the event of a  
violent collision.  
53  
Safety  
Impact detections zones  
The airbags are supplementary restraint  
systems (SRS) that help cushion the impact  
force to the head and chest during severe  
frontal collisions. The SRS includes Airbags,  
Seatbelts, Airbag ECU, Collision sensors and  
SRS warning lamp.  
Front airbags  
Electronic detectors record and analyse the  
front impacts sustained in the impact detection  
zones: – In the event of violent impact, the  
airbags deploy instantly and help better protect  
the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after  
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order  
not to hinder the visibility or the possible exit  
of the occupants.  
– In the event of a slight impact, a rear  
impact and under certain rollover conditions,  
the airbags may not deploy; only the seat belt  
helps to protect you in these situations.  
During a frontal crash, children could be  
fatally injured if they are sitting on driver’s  
lap/standing very close to the dashboard, as  
the airbags exert severe force levels during  
deployment.  
A.  
B.  
Front impact zone  
Side impact zone  
This system protects the driver and front  
passenger in the event of a serious front  
impact, in order to limit the risk of head and  
chest injuries.  
Tip  
When one or more airbags are  
deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic  
charge incorporated in the system makes a  
noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.  
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive  
individuals may experience irritation.  
The detonation noise associated with the  
deployment of one or more airbags may  
result in a slight loss of hearing for a short  
time.  
Lateral airbags  
(Depends upon variant)  
The seriousness of the impact depends on the  
nature of the obstacle and the speed of the  
vehicle at the moment of collision.  
Warning  
Warning  
The airbags will deploy irrespective of  
whether the seat belt is buckled or not. In  
order to reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY  
or DEATH, we recommend occupants to  
always be buckled.  
The airbags do not operate when the  
ignition is switched off. This equipment will  
only deploy once. If a second impact occurs  
(during the same or a subsequent accident),  
the airbag will not be deployed again.  
This system protects the driver and front  
passenger in the event of a serious side impact,  
limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between  
the hip and the shoulder.  
54  
Safety  
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest  
frame, on the door side.  
Advice  
5
Deployment  
Warning  
The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in  
the event of a serious side impact applied to all  
or part of the side impact zone B.  
The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of  
the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding  
door panel.  
For the airbags to be fully effective,  
observe the safety recommendations  
below.  
Adopt a normal upright sitting position.  
Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly  
positioned and adjusted.  
Do not leave anything between the  
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,  
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything close  
to or in the way of the airbag release  
trajectory; this could cause injuries during  
their deployment.  
Never modify the original definition of your  
vehicle, particularly in the area directly  
around the airbags.  
After an accident or if the vehicle has been  
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.  
All work on the airbag systems must only be  
performed by a CITROËN dealer.  
Even if all of the precautions mentioned  
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor  
burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be  
ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The  
airbag inflates almost instantly (within a few  
milliseconds) then deflates within the same  
time discharging the hot gas via openings  
provided for this purpose.  
Warning  
Changing the OE seat cover or using  
an additional seat cover may affect the  
deployment of the side airbags.

3.  
4.  
(Depends upon variant)  
This system helps provide greater protection  
for 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 side of the head.  
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and  
the upper passenger compartment area.  
Curtain airbag  
Deployment  
It deploys simultaneously with the  
corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a  
serious side impact applied to all or part of the  
side impact zone B.  
The curtain airbag inflates between the front  
and rear occupants of the vehicle and the  
corresponding windows.  
Malfunction  
Warning  
If this warning lamp comes on in the  
instrument panel, you must contact  
a CITROËN dealer to have the sys-  
tem checked.  
Do not drive holding the steering  
wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on  
the centre part of the wheel.  
Passengers must not place their feet on the  
dashboard.  
55  
Safety  
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags  
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a  
cigarette or pipe.  
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel  
or hit it violently.  
Do not fix or attach anything to the steering  
wheel or dashboard, as this could cause  
injuries when the airbags are deployed.  
Do not fix or attach anything to the steering  
wheel or dashboard, as this could cause  
injuries when the airbags are deployed.  
Warning  
Relying on the air bags alone could  
lead to more severe injuris in a collision.  
The air bags work with your seat belt to  
restrain you properly.  
Warning  
Lateral airbags  
Warning  
Lateral airbags Use only approved seat  
covers compatible with the deployment of  
these airbags. For information on the range  
of seat covers suitable for your vehicle,  
contact a dealer.  
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat  
backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause  
injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag  
is deployed.  
In the event of a minor impact or  
bump at the side of the vehicle or if the  
vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not be  
employed.  
In the event of a rear or front collision, none  
of the lateral airbags are deployed.  
Warning  
A lap belt worn too high can increase  
the risk of injury in a collision.  
The seat belt forces won't be at the strong  
hip and pelvic bones, but across your  
abdomen.  
Always wear the lap part of your seat belt as  
low as possible and keep it snug.  
Warning  
Do not sit with the upper part of the body  
any nearer to the door than necessary.  
Side airbags need to inflate. Do not  
lean against the door or window.  
Sit upright in the center of the seat.  
In some collisions, the airbags won't deply at  
all.  
Warning  
A twisted seat belt may not protect  
you properly. In a collision, it could even cut  
into you.  
Be sure the seat belt is flat against your  
body, without twists.  
If you can't straighten a seat belt in your  
vehicle, take it to an authorized dealer  
immediately and have it fixed.  
Warning  
Deployed airbags and seat belt  
pretensioners cannot protect you in another  
collision.  
Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners,  
and the seat belt retractor assembliers  
replaced by an authorized dealer  
immediately.  
Always wear your seat blet even though you  
have airbags.  
Warning  
Front airbags  
Also, have the Occupant Restraint Control  
System serviced as well.  
Do not drive holding the steering wheel  
by its spokes or resting your hands on the  
centre part of the wheel.  
Passengers must not place their feet on the  
dashboard.  
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags  
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a  
cigarette or pipe.  
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel  
or hit it violently.  
Warning  
A seat belt that is worn under your  
arm is dangerous. Your body could strike the  
inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision,  
increasing head and neck injury. A seat  
belt worn under the arm can cause internal  
injuries. Ribs aren's as strong as shoulder  
bones. Wear the seat belt over your shoulder  
so that your strongest bones will take the  
force in the collision.  
Warning  
Two peole should never be belted into  
a single seat belt. People belted together  
can crash into one another in a collision,  
hurting one another badly.  
Never use a lap/shoulder belt or a lap blet for  
more than one person, no matter what their  
size.  
56  
Safety  
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the  
harness of child seats, keeping the slack  
relative to the child's body to a minimum,  
even for short journeys.  
When installing a child seat using the seat  
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened  
correctly on the child seat and that it  
secures the child seat firmly on the seat of  
the vehicle.
