If this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible signal

and a message in the instrument

panel screen, it indicates a fault with

the anti-lock braking system which

could result in loss of control of the

vehicle when braking.

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.

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

Your vehicle has a system to improve traction

on snow: intelligent traction control.

This system detects situations of low adhesion

physics.

This is indicated by flashing of this

warning lamp in the instrument panel.

In these situations the intelligent traction

control system regulates the amount of wheel

slip to optimise the traction and trajectory

control of your vehicle.

For vehicles with Hydractive III + suspension,

manual adjustment of ground clearance to

the intermediate position improves further the

ability to make progress in deep snow (see the

relevant paragraph).

The use of snow tyres is strongly

recommended on surfaces with low

adhesion.

148

Safety

Deactivation

Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle

which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft

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

the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn

freely and regain grip.

Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of

grip permits.

The systems are reactivated automatically

each time the ignition is switched back on or

from 30 mph (50 km/h).

Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate

them manually:

F

Press this button.

The indicator lamp in the button

comes on.

F

Press this button again.

The indicator lamp in the button

goes off.

The DSC and ASR systems no longer act

on the operation of the engine and on the

brakes in the event of a involuntary change of

trajectory.

Operating fault

Illumination of this warning lamp and

the lamp in the deactivation button,

accompanied by an audible signal

and a message, indicate a fault with

the system.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

149

Safety

After an impact, have these systems

checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

DSC/ASR

The DSC and ASR 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, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip

increases. It is therefore important for your safety to keep the DSC and ASR systems

activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions.

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.

To benefit in full from the effectiveness of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry conditions,

the vehicle must be fitted with four snow tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral

handling on the road.

Recommendations for children

Advice

The driver must ensure that passengers use

the seat belts correctly and that they are all

fastened before setting off.

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is

less than 12 years old or shorter than one

and a half metres.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

-

be tightened as close to the body as

possible,

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.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,

always fasten your seat belt, even for short

journeys.

Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as

they will not fulfill 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.

-

be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it does not

twist,

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.

-

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.

6

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.

153

Safety

Airbags

System designed to contribute towards

improving the safety of the occupants (with

the exception of the rear centre passenger)

in the event of a violent collision. The airbags

supplement the action of the force-limiting

seat belts.

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

-

in the case of a serious impact, the airbags

are deployed instantly and contribute

towards best protecting 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,

-

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 your protection in

these situations.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

Deployment of one or more airbags

is accompanied by a slight emission

of smoke and a noise, due to the

activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge

incorporated in the system.

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 deployment of airbag will not be

triggered again.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience slight

irritation.

The noise of the detonation related to

the deployment of one or more airbags

may result in a slight loss of hearing for

a short time.

154

Safety

Front airbags

System which contributes towards the

protection of the head and chest of the driver

and front passenger in the event of a front

impact.

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.

To assure the safety of your child, the

passenger's 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.

Deactivation

Reactivation

Only the front passenger's airbag can be

deactivated:

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.

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 sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

Do not fit or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, this could cause

injuries with deployment of the airbags.

The vehicle's front door panels include side

impact sensors.

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.

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!

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.

Such work must only be done by a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Safety

General points relating to child seats

Although one of CITROËN's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children

also depends on you.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

CITROËN recommends that children

should travel on the rear seats of your

vehicle:

-

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*,

-

rearward facing up to the age of 3,

forward facing over the age of 3.

-

statistically, the safest seats in your

vehicle for carrying children are the

rear seats,

6

a child weighing less than 9 kg must

travel in the rearward facing position

both in the front and in the rear.

* The regulations on carrying children are

specific to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

Rearward facing

Forward facing

Centre rear seat

A child seat with a support leg must never be

installed on the centre rear passenger seat.

The incorrect installation of a child seat

in a vehicle compromises the protection

of the child in the event of an accident.

When a rearward facing child seat is installed

on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's

front seat forward and straighten the backrest

so that the rearward facing child seat does not

touch the vehicle's 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.

Ensure that the seat belt is correctly

tensioned.

For child seats with a support leg,

ensure that this is in firm contact with

the floor. If necessary, adjust the front

seat of the vehicle.

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 must 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

At rear seating positions, always leave

sufficient space between the front seat and:

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.

-

a rearward facing child seat,

the child's feet for a child seat fitted

forward facing.

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 do this, move the front seat forwards

and, if necessary, move its backrest into the

upright position.

Otherwise, the child risks being seriously

injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.

To protect young children from the rays of

the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
