The fitting of electrical equipment

or accessories not approved by

CITROËN may cause excessive

current consumption and faults and

failures with the electrical system of

your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN

dealer for information on the range of

recommended accessories.

Before installing a radio communication

transmitter, you must contact a CITROËN

dealer for the specification of transmitters

which can be fitted (frequency, maximum

power, aerial position, specific installation

requirements), in line with the Vehicle

Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive

(2004/104/EC).

Labels are attached in different places on

your vehicle. They include safety warnings

as well as identification information for

your vehicle. Do not remove them: they

are an integral part of your vehicle.

As a safety measure, access to

the diagnostic socket, used for the

vehicle's electronic systems, is

reserved strictly for CITROËN dealers

or qualified workshops, 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.

For any 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.

Anti-lock braking system

(ABS) and electronic brake

force distribution (EBFD)

Box offer with the SOS and assistance

pack included, there are additional

services available to you in your personal

space, via the website for your country.

In an emergency, this system permits the

optimum braking pressure to be reached

more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping

distance.

It is triggered in relation to the speed at which

the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is

a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and

an increase in braking efficiency.

The fixed illumination of this warning

lamp indicates that there is a fault

with the ABS.

Electronic stability control

(ESC)

Electronic stability control integrating the

following systems:

If this warning lamp comes on, in

conjunction with the STOP and

ABS warning lamps, an audible

signal and a message, this indicates

that the electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD) is faulty.

You must stop as soon as it is

safe to do so.

In both cases, have the system

checked by a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop as soon as

possible.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

-

anti-lock braking system (ABS) and

electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

emergency braking assistance (EBA),

wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction

control,

The ASR system (also known as Traction

Control) optimises traction in order to limit

wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving

wheels and on the engine. It also improves

the directional stability of the vehicle on

acceleration.

-

dynamic stability control (DSC).

Dynamic stability control (DSC)

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),

ensure that these are approved for your

vehicle.

Definitions

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

and electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD)

If there is a difference between the path

followed by the vehicle and that required by

the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and

automatically acts on the brake of one or more

wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle

to the required path, within the limits of the laws

of physics.

Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibration of the brake

pedal.

This system improves the stability and

manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and

contributes towards improved control on corners, in

particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.

The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of

emergency braking.

If you need to brake in an emergency,

press the brake pedal very firmly and

keep the pressure applied.

The electronic brake force distribution system (EBFD)

manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.

Activation

5

These systems are activated automatically

every time the vehicle is started.

As soon as they detect a problem of grip or

trajectory, these systems act on the operation

of the engine and brakes.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

The ASR system no longer acts on the

operation of the engine or the brakes in the

event of an involuntary change of trajectory.

After an impact, have the system checked

by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

This is indicated by this warning

lamp flashing in the instrument

panel.

Reactivating the ASR

The system is reactivated automatically each

time the ignition is switched back on or from

31 mph (50 km/h).

Below 31 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it

manually:

Deactivating the ASR

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle

which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft

ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate

the ASR system, so that the wheels can move

freely and regain grip.

73

Safety

ASR/DSC

Grip control

These systems offer increased safety

in normal driving, but they 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.

Special patented traction control system which

improves traction on snow, mud and sand.

This system, the operation of which has been

optimised for each situation, allows you to

manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip

(encountered when using a passenger car).

Standard (ESC)

Associated with 205/50 R17 all-season M+S

(Mud and Snow) tyres, this system offers a

compromise between safety, grip and traction.

These tyres are efficient in winter and summer

conditions.

This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel

spin, based on the different levels of grip

normally encountered on the road.

The correct operation of these

systems depends on observation of

the manufacturer's recommendations

regarding as much the wheels (tyres and

rims), braking and electronic components

as the assembly and repair procedures

used by CITROËN dealers.

F

Place the knob in this position.

The accelerator pedal should be pressed

sufficiently to allow the system to use the power

of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds

is completely normal.

To benefit in full from the effectiveness

of these systems in wintry conditions,

the vehicle must be fitted with four snow

tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral

behaviour on the road.

Every time the ignition is switched off, the

system automatically resets to this mode.

A five-position selector knob allows you to

choose the setting best suited to the driving

conditions encountered.

An indicator lamp associated with each mode

comes on to confirm your choice.

A specific and additional display appears

temporarily in the touch screen to confirm the

selection made with the knob.

You can deactivate the ASR

and DSC systems by turning

the knob to the "OFF" position.

This mode, when moving off, allows

considerable spin on the wheel with the least

grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain

grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most

grip is controlled in such a way as to pass as

much torque as possible.

The ASR and DSC systems will no longer

have an effect on engine operation or

the brakes in the event of an involuntary

change of trajectory.

Driving recommendations

Your vehicle is designed principally to

drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to

occasionally drive on other less passable

terrain.

F

Place the knob in this position.

The front seat belts are fitted with a

pretensioning and force limiting system.

This system improves safety in the front

seats in the event of a front or side impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the

pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat

belts against the body of the occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active when

the ignition is on.

However, it does not permit off-road

driving such as:

Sand

-

crossing and driving on terrain which

could damage the underbody or strip

away components (fuel pipe, fuel

cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones

in particular,

This mode allows little spin on the two driving

wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to

move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck

in the sand.

The force limiter reduces the pressure of

the seat belt on the occupant's chest, thus

improving their protection.

(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))

-

driving on terrain with steep gradients

and poor grip,

crossing a stream.

be used to restrain only one person,

not show any signs of cuts or fraying,

not be converted or modified to avoid

affecting its performance.

-

Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as

they will not fulfil their role fully.

The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel

permitting automatic adjustment of the

length of the strap to your size. The seat belt

is stowed automatically when not in use.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat

belt is reeled in correctly.

The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the

hollow of the shoulder.

The inertia reels have an automatic locking

device at the time of a collision, during

sudden braking or if the vehicle turns over.

You can release the device by pulling the

strap firmly and then releasing it so that it

reels in slightly.

In accordance with current safety regulations,

for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go

to a qualified workshop with the skills and

equipment needed, which a CITROËN dealer

is able to provide.

Have your seat belts checked regularly by

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,

particularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or

a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN

dealers.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench

seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned

and reeled in correctly.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and seriousness

of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioner

device may be deployed before and

independently of the airbags. Deployment

of the pretensioners is accompanied by a

slight discharge of harmless smoke and a

noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic

cartridge incorporated in the system.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes

on.

Following an impact, have the seat belt

system checked, and, if necessary, replaced,

by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Safety

Airbags

General information

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.

The deployment of an airbag is

accompanied by a slight emission of

smoke and a noise, due to the detonation

of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in

the system.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience slight irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of an airbag may result in a

slight loss of hearing for a short time.

System designed to contribute towards

improving passenger safety (with the exception

of the rear centre passenger) in the event of

violent collisions. The airbags supplement the

action of the seat belts fitted with force limiters

(all except the rear centre passenger).

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

Impact detection zones

-

in the case of a serious impact, the airbags

are deployed instantly and contribute

towards better protection of the occupants

of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear

centre passenger); immediately after the

impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that

they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the

occupants,

Front airbags

B. Side impact zone.

-

in the case of a minor or rear impact or

in certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not be deployed; the seat belt

alone contributes towards ensuring your

protection in these situations.

System which protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front impact

in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and

thorax.

The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the

steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is

fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

78

Safety

Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the front

passenger airbag if it is deactivated, in the

event of a serious front impact to all or part

of the front impact zone A, in the longitudinal

centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane

and directed from the front to the rear of the

vehicle.

The front airbag inflates between the thorax

and head of the front occupant of the vehicle

and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the

dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their

forward movement.

System which protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side impact

in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest

frame, door side.

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.

Deployment

The curtain airbag inflates between the front or

rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.

The lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in

the event of a severe side impact covering all

or part of 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 lateral airbag inflates between the hip

and shoulder of the front occupant and the

corresponding door trim panel.

79

Safety

Advice

For the airbags to be fully effective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is

positioned correctly.

Front airbags

A damaged door or any unauthorised or

incorrectly executed work (modification or

repair) on the front doors or their interior trim

could compromise the operation of these

sensors – risk of malfunction of the lateral

airbags!

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 leave anything between the

occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,

object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything close

to the inflation trajectory of the airbags;

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 or broken into, have the airbag

systems checked.

All work on the airbag systems must be

carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

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 fit or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries

with deployment of the airbags.

Such work must only be done by a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Curtain airbags

Do not attach anything or hang anything to

the roof, as this could cause head injuries

when the curtain airbag is deployed.

If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the

grab handles installed on the roof, they play a

part in securing the curtain airbags.

Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,

compatible with the deployment of the lateral

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, contact 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 when an

airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. 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.

Do not attach anything to or hang anything

from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as this

could cause injuries to the thorax or arm if the

lateral airbag is deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

The vehicle's front door panels include side

impact sensors.

Safety

"Forward facing"

General points relating to

child seats

Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and

tightened correctly.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure

that the latter is in firm and steady contact

with the floor.

The regulations on carrying children are

specific to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

In the front: if necessary, adjust the

passenger seat.

At the rear: if necessary, adjust the

relevant front seat.

When a "forward facing" child seat is installed

on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's

front seat forward and straighten the backrest

so that the legs of the child in the "forward

facing" child seat do not touch the vehicle's

front seat.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

-

In accordance with European regulations,

all children under the age of 12 or less

than one and a half metres tall must

travel in approved child seats suited to

their weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt

or ISOFIX mountings.

Remove and stow the head restraint

before installing a child seat with backrest

on a passenger seat.

Refit the head restraint once the child seat

has been removed.

Centre rear seat

5

A child seat with a support leg must never be

installed on the centre rear passenger seat.

-

Statistically, the safest seats in your

vehicle for carrying children are the rear

seats.

A child weighing less than 9 kg must

travel in the rearward facing position

both in the front and in the rear.

Child seat at the rear

"Rearward facing"

Child seat at the front

"Rearward facing"

It is recommended that children travel on

the rear seats of your vehicle:

When a "rearward facing" child seat is installed

on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's

front seat forwards and straighten the backrest

so that the "rearward facing" child seat does

not touch the vehicle's front seat.

-

"rearward facing" up to the age of 3,

"forward facing" over the age of 3.

When a "rearward facing" child seat is installed

on the front passenger seat, adjust the seat to

the intermediate longitudinal position, with the

backrest straightened.

81

Safety

The front passenger airbag must be

deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks

being seriously injured or killed if the

airbag is deployed.

The warning label present on both sides of the

passenger sun visor repeats this advice.

In line with current legislation, this warning is

available in all of the languages required on the

following pages.

"Forward facing"

Passenger seat adjusted to the intermediate

longitudinal position.

When a "forward facing" child seat is installed

on the front passenger seat, adjust the

vehicle's seat to the intermediate longitudinal

position with the backrest straightened and

leave the front passenger airbag activated.

Passenger airbag OFF

Deactivating the front

passenger airbag

Never install a "rearward facing" child

restraint system on a seat protected by an

active front airbag.

This could cause the death of the child or

serious injury.

Ensure that the seat belt is correctly

tensioned.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure

that the latter is in firm contact with the

floor. If necessary, adjust the passenger

seat.

This label is located on the middle door pillar,

passenger side.

For more information on the Airbags,

refer to the corresponding section.

82

Safety

Deactivating the front

passenger airbag

To ensure the safety of your child, the front

passenger airbag must be deactivated

when you install a "rearward facing" child

seat on the front passenger seat.

Otherwise, the child could risk being

seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were deployed.

Only the front passenger airbag can be

deactivated.

Reactivating the front
