ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND EBFD AND CSC * BRAKING SYSTEMS
The ABS, in conjunction with the
EBFD and CSC * braking systems,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking
and provides improved control, in
particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems pro-
vide full control of the braking pres-
sure wheel by wheel. A distribution
between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the EBFD (Electronic Brake
Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of the CSC * (Cornering Stability
Control).
When the vehicle is being driv-
en, illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that the park-
ing brake is still on or has not
been properly released.

When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the


parking brake
.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake to immobilise
your vehicle.

Note: when changing wheels
(tyres), make sure that these
are approved.
The anti-lock braking system
comes into operation automatically
when there is a risk of wheel lock.
* The CSC system is linked with the EBFD on vehicles which are not fi t-
ted with ASR/ESP systems.

SAFETY
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-lim-
iting seat belts. The electronic detec-
tors register and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle in the im-
pact detection zones (see diagram):
if the triggering threshold is reached,
the airbags infl ate instantly and pro-
tect the occupants of the vehicle.
FRONT AIRBAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passenger
air bag is deactivated, in the event
of a serious front impact applied in
the impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a hori-
zontal plane and from the front of the
vehicle towards the rear. The airbag
infl ates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion his forward movement. The
airbags therefore limit the risk of in-
jury to the head and chest.
Front airbag malfunction
Flashing indicates an air-
bag malfunction, contact a
CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be
triggered in the event of a serious
impact .

Note: the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags defl ate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle. The air bags are not de-
ployed in the case of minor impacts,
rear impacts or in certain roll-over
conditions. The seat belt is suffi cient
to ensure maximum protection in
these situations. The seriousness of
a collision depends on the nature of
the obstacle and the speed of the ve-
hicle at the moment of the collision.

Airbags
only operate when the ig-
nition is switched on. When they
are triggered, a noise is heard dur-
ing infl ation.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

SAFETY
Deactivating the passenger
airbag

To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to
deactivate
the
passenger
airbag
when you install
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
were to infl ate.

 With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag deactivation switch 1 , turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the switch
in this position.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the airbag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact. If the passenger airbag is de-
activated, the warning lamp
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
airbag is reactivated. The curtain airbag infl ates between
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
airbag may not be triggered. The air-
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
Flashing indicates a mal-
function of at least one of
these airbags.
Contact a CITROËN deal-
er to have the system
checked. The air bags may no longer
be triggered in the event of a serious
impact.
Deactivation (check)
Airbag malfunction
* According to version.
SIDE AIRBAGS * AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS *
The side airbags are built into the
front seat backs on the door side.
The triggering of these airbags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side airbag
infl ates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side airbags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side airbags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain airbags are built into the
headlining.
