Safety

Hazard warning lamps

Warning

General safety

recommendations

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.

Press the central part of the steering wheel.

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.

Safety

rolls over. It can be released by pulling the strap

firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in

slightly.

For electric vehicles

Warning

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.

Rear seat belts

This system reduces the pressure of the seat

belt on the chest of the occupant, thus

improving their protection.

Front seat belts

2^ndrow outboard seats has three-point seatbelt

across all variant.

2^ndrow center seat has three-point seatbelt or

lap belt based on the vehicle variants

All tyre specifications are listed on the

tyre/paint label. For more information

on Identification markings, refer to the

corresponding section.

Warning

Before performing any operations on

the rear seats, to avoid damage to the seat

belts, check that:

– The outer seat belts are correctly in the

storage position, lying vertically along the

pillar.

Seat belts

Inertia reel

The seat belts are equipped with an inertia

reel which allows the strap length to adjust

automatically to the shape of the user. The seat

belt returns to its storage automatically when it

is not used.

The inertia reels are fitted with a device which

automatically locks the strap in the event of

a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle

– The central seat belt is stowed.

For petrol vehicles

The front driver seat belt is fitted with inertia

reel and a force limiting system.

The front passenger seat belt is equipped with

only inertia reel or with inertia reel and a force

limiting system based on the vehicle variants.
