ESP OFF
80
Driving safety
This snow mode allows the
vehicle to adapts its strategy
to the conditions of grip
encountered for each of the
two front wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
the skidding to guarantee the best
acceleration possible in relation to the
grip available.
This all terrain m o d e ( m u d ,
wet grass...) allows, when
moving off, considerable
skidding on the wheel with
the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and regain "grip".
At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as
to pass as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
the skidding to respond to the driver's
requirements as fully as possible. This
sand mode allows little
skidding on the two driving
wheels at the same time to
allow the vehicle to move
forward and limit the risks of
getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand
as the vehicle may become stuck.
This
ESP mode is calibrated
for a low level of skidding,
based on different conditions
of grip encountered on the
road.
When the ignition is switched off, the
system returns automatically to ESP
mode.
This ESP OFF mode is
o n l y s u i t a b l e f o r s p e c i fi c
conditions encountered when
moving off or at low speed.
This mode is active up to 30 mph
( 5 0 k m / h ) .

Airbags
86
Side airbags
This is a 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.
Each side airbag is incorporated in the
front seat back frame, on the door side.
Activation
It is triggered 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.
T h e s i d e a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle or
if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag
may not be triggered. Operating fault
If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message
on the display, contact a
CITROËN dealer to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer
be triggered in the event of a serious
impact.
Curtain airbags
This is a system which protects the
driver and passengers in the event of a
serious side impact in order to limit the
risk of head injuries.
Each curtain airbag is incorporated in
the pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment.
Activation
It is triggered at the same time as the
corresponding side 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.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES
5
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In
this case, the automatic cutting off of
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the
t o w i n g v e h i c l e ( s e e t h e " I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
features" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually. Towbar
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
