CHILD SAFETY


Passenger airbag OFF

Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passenger's
sun visor.

To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's
front airbag when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position
on the front passenger's seat.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed.

CHILD SAFETY




ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS


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, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level. As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or children alone and un-
supervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,

- the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the
"Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
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 fi rm-
ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat
and that the head restraint does not
cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed, ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.

SAFETY
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observa-
tion of the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations regarding wheels
(tyres and rims), braking compo-
nents, electronic components
and assembly and repair proce-
dures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.



Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, locat-
ed in the centre of the dashboard.

If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator lamp on the button comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.

Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automa-
tically each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multi-
function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
TRAJECTORY CONTROLSYSTEMS


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 programme 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.


Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme (ESP)
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.

SAFETY
AIRBAGS

Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorpora-
ted in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may expe-
rience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.

Front airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and chest.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

Deployment
The airbags are deployed simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact applied 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 infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.


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 subse-
quent accident), the airbag will
not be deployed again.
System designed to maximise the safety
of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors 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
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags defl ate 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 will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-
vide optimum protection in these
situations.

107
SAFETY
If at least one of the two airbag
warning lamps come on continu-
ously, do not install a child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message in the multifunction
screen, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious
impact.
Reactivation
When you remove the rearwards-facing
child seat, turn switch 1
to the "ON"
po-
sition to reactivate the airbag and so as-
sure the safety of your front passenger
in the event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel or in the seat belt
and passenger's front airbag
warning lamp display for approximately
one minute, if the passenger's front air-
bag is activated. To assure the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passen-
ger's front airbag is deactivated
when you install a "rearwards-
facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on either in
the instrument panel or on the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamp display when the
ignition is on and until the airbag is re-
activated. If this warning lamp fl ashes,
contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop. The pas-
senger's front airbag may no
longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch 1
,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.

DRIVING
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.


Operation

The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulsory.
In fact, the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety remain de-
termining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains re-
sponsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:


- You are in third gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompa-
nied by the suggested gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when over-
taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.



* According to engine.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
