SAFETY When this warning lamp
comes on, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the
ABS, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
When these warn-
ing lamps come
on simultaneously,
it indicates that
there is a malfunc-
tion of the braking system or that the
parking brake has not been released
fully, which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.

Stop immediately.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Normal operation of the
ABS may make itself felt by
slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.

In emergency braking,
press very fi rmly without
releasing the pressure. TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and supplement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also allows the directional stability of the vehicle to be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the ESP system automatically acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to put the vehicle back on course, within the limits of the laws of physics.

SAFETY The driver must ensure that
the passengers use the seat
belts correctly and that they
are all properly restrained
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
If the seats have armrests * , the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stored 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 fi tted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of
a collision, on emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rapidly
on the strap and releasing it. In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
- must restrain one adult only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modifi ed to avoid altering its
performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked
regularly by a CITROËN dealer and
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 rolled up correctly. Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years
old or shorter than one metre fi fty,
- do not use the strap-guide * when a child seat is installed.
- never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.

Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts
, the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight emission
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the
seat belts system checked, and if
necessary replaced, by a CITROËN
dealer.
* According to model.

SAFETY

For the front, side and cur-
tain
airbags
to be fully effec-
tive, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child,
animal, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the airbags or injure
the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is carried
out by qualifi ed personnel of the
CITROËN network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked. Front 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.
Smoke as little as possible;
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.
Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
airbag infl ates.
The triggering of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight emission
of harmless 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
some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, injury or
slight burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is triggered cannot
be ruled out. Indeed, the bag infl ates
almost instantly (approximately
30 milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging hot gas
via the openings provided for this
purpose.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the airbag will not infl ate.
Side airbags
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the
infl ation of the side airbags. Consult
a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
front seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms when the
side airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
