safety in emergency situations:

System which, in an emergency, enables you

to obtain the optimum braking pressure more

quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.

If this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible signal

and a message in the screen, it

indicates a malfunction of the anti-

lock braking system which could

result in loss of control of the vehicle

when braking.

-

anti-lock braking system (ABS),

electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

emergency braking assistance (EBA).

Activation

It is triggered by 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.

Anti-lock braking system

and electronic brake force

distribution

Linked systems which improve the stability and

manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, in

particular on poor or slippery surfaces.

If this warning lamp comes on,

together with the STOP and ABS

warning lamps, accompanied by an

audible signal and a message in the

screen, it indicates a malfunction of

the electronic brake force distribution

which could result in loss of control of

the vehicle when braking.

When braking in an emergency, press

firmly without releasing the pressure.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Activation

The anti-lock braking system comes into

operation automatically when there is a risk of

wheel lock.

Normal operation of the ABS may make itself

felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.

When replacing wheels (tyres and

rims), ensure that they conform to the

manufacturer's recommendations.

When braking in an emergency, press

very firmly without releasing the

pressure.

140

Safety

Trajectory control systems

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

and dynamic stability

control (DSC)

The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction

control) optimises traction to prevent skidding

of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the

driving wheels and on the engine.

The electronic stability control acts on the

brake of one or more wheels and on the engine

to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required

by the driver, within the limits of the laws of

physics.

Intelligent traction control

system ("Snow motion")

Depending on version, your vehicle has a

system to help driving on snow: intelligent

traction control.

This system detects situations of difficult

surface adhesion that could make it difficult to

move off or make progress on deep fresh snow

or compacted snow.

In these situations, the intelligent traction

control limits the amount of wheel slip to

provide the best traction and trajectory control

for your vehicle.

5

Deactivation

The use of snow tyres is strongly

recommended on surfaces offering low

levels of adhesion.

In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,

mud, ...), if you are unable to move off, it may

be useful to temporarily deactivate these

systems so that the wheels can spin freely and

allow the vehicle to move.

Activation

These systems are activated automatically

each time the vehicle is started.

They come into operation in the event of a grip

or trajectory problem.

F

Press this button, located near the steering

wheel.

If the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this

indicates that these systems are deactivated.

This is indicated by flashing of this

warning lamp in the instrument panel.

It is recommended that the systems be

reactivated as soon as possible.

141

Safety

Reactivation

The trajectory control systems offer

increased safety in normal driving, but

this should not encourage the driver to

take extra risks or drive at high speed.

The correct functioning of these

systems is assured provided that

manufacturer's recommendations are

observed on:

These systems are reactivated automatically

each time the ignition is switched back on or

from 30 mph (50 km/h).

Safety

Seat belts

Front seat belts

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.

Safety

Advice

The driver must ensure that passengers use

the seat belts correctly and that they are all

fastened before setting off.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,

always fasten your seat belt, even for short

journeys.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

Recommendations for children

-

be tightened as close to the body as

possible,

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is

less than 12 years old or shorter than one

and a half metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more

than one person.

Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

For more information on child seats, refer to

the corresponding section.

-

be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it does not

twist,

Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as

they will not fulfil their role fully.

-

be used to restrain only one person,

not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

not be converted or modified to avoid

affecting its performance.

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 are fitted with an automatic

locking device which comes into operation in

the event of a collision, emergency braking

or if the vehicle rolls 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 pretensioning 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 belts

system checked, and if necessary replaced,

by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

146

Safety

Airbags

General information

The airbags do not operate when the

ignition is switched off.

System designed to contribute towards

improving the safety of the occupants (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 centre rear

passenger belt).

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.

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

-

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,

5

Deployment of one or more of the

airbags is accompanied by a slight

emission of smoke and a noise, due

to the activation of the pyrotechnic

cartridge incorporated in the system.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience slight

irritation.

The noise of detonation related to the

deployment of one or more airbags may

result in a slight loss of hearing for a

short time.

-

in the case of a minor or rear impact or in

certain roll-over conditions, the airbags

may not be deployed; the seat belt

alone contributes towards ensuring your

protection in these situations.

147

Safety

Front airbags

To assure the safety of your child,

the passenger's front airbag must be

deactivated when you install a rearward

facing child seat on the front passenger

seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were deployed.

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's airbag is

fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Reactivation

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be

deactivated:

When you remove the child seat, turn the

switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the

airbag and so assure the safety of your front

passenger in the event of an impact.

F

the new position.

lamp comes on in the seat belt and

passenger's front airbag warning lamps

display for approximately one minute, if

the passenger's front airbag is activated.

Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the

passenger's front 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.

According to version, this warning

lamp comes on in the instrument

panel and/or in the seat belt and

passenger's front airbag warning

lamps display when the ignition is on

and until the airbag is reactivated.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in the

instrument panel, 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.

148

Safety

Lateral airbags

Curtain airbags

System which contributes towards improving

the protection of 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.

5

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,

between the hip and the shoulder.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest

frame, door side.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

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.

Deployment

A lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally 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.

The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and

shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle

and the corresponding door trim panel.

149

Safety

Advice

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:

Sit in a normal upright position.

Front airbags

Lateral airbags

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Do not leave anything between the

occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,

object...), 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 system must be

carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

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.

Use only approved covers on the seats,

compatible with the deployment the lateral

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, you can

contact a CITROËN dealer.

For more information on accessories, refer

to the corresponding section.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat

backs (clothing...). This could cause injury

to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is

deployed.

Do not fit or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries

with deployment of the airbags.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

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

bag inflates almost instantly (within a few

milliseconds) then deflates within the same

time discharging the hot gas via openings

provided for this purpose.

Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This

could cause injury to the head if the curtain

airbag is deployed.

If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the

grab handles installed on the roof, they play

a part in securing the curtain airbags.

Safety

Advice

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a

vehicle compromises the child's protection in

the event of an accident.

Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt

buckle under the child seat, as this could

destabilise it.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the

child seat harnesses 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 your

vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,

move it forwards if necessary.

For optimum installation of the forward facing

child seat, ensure that the back of the child

seat is as close as possible to the backrest

of the vehicle's seat, in contact if possible.

You mst remove the head restraint before

installing a child seat with backrest to a

passenger seat.

Ensure that the head restraint is stored or

attached securely to prevent it from being

thrown around the vehicle in the event of

sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when

the child seat is removed.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be

positioned on the child's shoulder without

touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt

passes correctly over the child's thighs.

CITROËN recommends the use of a booster

seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt

guide at shoulder level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

-

a child or children alone and

unsupervised in a vehicle,

a child or an animal in a vehicle which

is exposed to the sun, with the windows

closed,

Children at the front

-

The legislation on carrying children on the

front passenger seat is specific to each

country. Refer to the legislation in force in

your country.

Deactivate the passenger's front airbag

when a rearward facing child seat is installed

on the front passenger seat.

-

the keys within reach of children inside

the vehicle.

At rear seating positions, always leave

sufficient space between the front seat and:

To prevent accidental opening of the doors

and rear windows, use the child lock.

Take care not to open the rear windows by

more than one third.

To protect young children from the rays of

the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

-

a rearward facing child seat,

the child's feet for a child seat fitted

forward facing.

Otherwise, the child risks being seriously

injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.

To do this, move the front seat forwards

and, if necessary, move its backrest into the

upright position.
