5General safety 
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in 
different places on your vehicle. They 
include safety warnings as well as 
identification information for the vehicle.
For all work on your vehicle, use a 
qualified workshop that has the technical 
information, skills and equipment required, all 
of which a CITROËN dealer is able to 
provide.
Depending on country regulations, 
certain safety equipment may be 
mandatory: high visibility safety vests, 
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs, 
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud 
flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical accessories:
–  The fitting of electrical equipment or 
accessories not approved by CITROËN may 
cause excessive current consumption and 
faults and failures with the electrical system 
of your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer 
for information on the range of approved 
accessories.

Data processing
All processing of personal information 
by the "Localised Emergency Call" system 
(PE112) complies with the framework for 
protection of personal information established 
by Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and 
Directive 2002/58/EC of the European 
Parliament and the Council, and in particular, 
seeks to protect the vital interests of the 
data subject, in accordance with Article
  6.1, 
paragraph
  d) of Regulation 2016/679.
Personal information processing is strictly 
limited to the management of the "Localised 
Emergency Call" system used with the “112” 
European single emergency call number.
The "Localised Emergency Call" system is 
able to collect and process only the following 
data relating to the vehicle: chassis number, 
type (passenger vehicle or light commercial 
vehicle), fuel type or power source, most 
recent three locations and direction of travel, 
and a timestamped log file recording the 
automatic activation of the system.
The recipients of the processed data are the 
emergency call handling centres designated 
by the relevant national authorities in the 
territory in which they are located, enabling 
priority reception and handling of calls to the 
“112” emergency number.
Data storage
Data contained in the system’s memory 
is not accessible from outside the system until 
a call is made. The system is not traceable 
and is not continuously monitored in its 
normal operating mode. 
The data in the system's internal memory is 
automatically and continuously erased. Only 
the vehicle’s three most recent locations are 
stored.
When an emergency call is triggered, the data 
log is stored for no more than 13
  hours.
Access to data
You have the right to access the data 
and, if necessary, submit a request to 
rectify, erase or restrict the processing of 
any personal information not processed in 
accordance with the provisions of Regulation 
2016/679 (GDPR). Third parties to which data 
has been communicated shall be notified of 
any rectification, erasure or restriction carried 
out in accordance with the aforementioned 
Directive, unless doing so would be 
impossible or require a disproportionate effort.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake 
force distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability 
and handling during braking, and enable greater 
control while cornering, particularly on poor or 
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of 
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by 
wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the 
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive 
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit together with  the STOP and ABS warning lamps, 
accompanied by a message and an audible 
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
The normal operation of the ABS may  result in slight vibrations in the brake 
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press 
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that these are approved for your 
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems  checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Emergency braking 
assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you 
to reach the optimum braking pressure more 
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping 
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a 
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an 
increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)  / Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using 
engine braking and by applying the brakes on 
the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It 
also enhances the vehicle's directional stability 
while accelerating.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s 
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the 
dynamic stability control system automatically 
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or

Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes 
on in the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message and an audible signal.
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce 
your speed and drive carefully!
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system offers  enhanced safety in normal driving, 
provided that the recommendations on towing 
a trailer are observed. It should not 
encourage the driver to take risks, such as 
towing a trailer in adverse operating 
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the 
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated 
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive 
at excessive speeds.
In certain cases, the system may not detect 
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the 
system may not be able to prevent sudden 
trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control

This system, optimised for operation in a range 
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most 
slippery conditions (encountered during normal 
passenger car use).
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired 
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip 
or trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument panel flashes to indicate that they are 
operating.
Deactivation / Reactivation 
 
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that 
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose 
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the 
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip.
However, it is recommended that the system be 
reactivated as soon as possible.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched off, or from 31 
mph (50
  km/h).
At speeds below 31 mph (50
  km/h), the systems 
can be reactivated manually.
Press this button or turn the thumbwheel 
to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer 
have an effect on engine operation.
To reactivate the system:
Press this button.  
Or
Turn the thumbwheel to this position. 
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this 
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by 
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during 
normal driving, but should not encourage 
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high 
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, 
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It 
is therefore important for your safety to keep 
these systems activated in all conditions, and 
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends 
on compliance with the manufacturer's 
recommendations relating to the wheels 
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic 
components, as well as the assembly and 
repair procedures used by CITROËN dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to 
ensure that these systems remain effective 
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be 
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the 
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the 
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC) 
must not have any faults.
At speeds between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 
160
  km/h), if the system detects oscillating trailer 
movements (snaking), it acts on the brakes to 
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces 
engine power to slow the vehicle.
This warning lamp flashes on the  instrument panel and the brake lamps 
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.
For information on weights and towed loads, 
refer to the Engine Technical Data and Towed 
Loads section or your vehicle’s registration 
certificate

Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which  improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range 
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most 
slippery conditions (encountered during normal 
passenger car use). When combined with suitable tyres, this system 
offers a compromise between safety, grip and 
driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to harness the 
power of the engine. Operation at high engine 
speeds is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to 
choose the setting best suited to the driving 
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode 
comes on, accompanied by the display of a 
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes 
 
 
 
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of  wheel spin, based on the different levels 
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the 
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the  conditions of grip encountered for each of 
the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows  considerable spin on the wheel with the 
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to 
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the 
most grip is controlled in such a way as to 
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin 
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully 
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin 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.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120
  km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as 
the vehicle may become stuck.

warning lamp comes on on the instrument 
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC  systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" 
position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no  longer act on the operation of the engine 
or of the brakes in the event of a change of 
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
from 31 mph (50
  km/h) and whenever the 
ignition is switched on.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to 
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to 
occasionally drive on other less passable 
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving 
such as:
–
 
crossing and driving on terrain which 
could damage the underbody or strip away 
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler
, etc.) due 
to obstacles or stones in particular,
–
 
driving on terrain with steep gradients and 
poor grip,
–
 
crossing a stream.
Hill Assist  Descent 
Control
System that provides assistance when 
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, 
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of 
control of the vehicle when descending, whether 
going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, it assists the driver in 
maintaining a constant speed, depending on the 
gear engaged, while progressively releasing the 
brakes.
For the system to activate, the slope 
must be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox in 
neutral.
Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to 
the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system can 
be used with the selector at  N, D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active 
Safety Brake system is automatically 
deactivated.
The system is not available: –  if the speed of the vehicle is above 43 
mph (70
  km/h),
–
 
if the speed of the vehicle is being 
controlled by the 
Adaptive Cruise Control, 
depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the 
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when the 
engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary 
or when moving at speeds up to approximately 
31 mph (50
  km/h).
 
 
 
 
► To select the system, at speeds below 
31 mph (50   km/h), press this button until 
its indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green 
in the instrument panel.
The system becomes active at speeds below 19 
mph (30
  km/h).
►
 
When the vehicle begins its descent, you can 
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the 
system regulates the speed:
– if the gearbox is in first or second gear , 
the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes rapidly,
–
 
if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal 
is depressed, the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the 
maintained descent speed is lower.

Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a single 
pyrotechnic pretensioning system (or  double on 
the driver’s side, depending on equipment) and a 
force limiter (or progressive force limiter on the 
driver’s side, depending on equipment options).
This system improves safety in the front seats in 
the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the 
single pyrotechnic pretensioning system 
instantly tightens the seat belts against the body 
of the occupants.
The double  pyrotechnic pretensionsining system 
operates the same way, except that it uses two 
anchor points rather than one, for enhanced 
effectiveness.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are 
enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the 
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus 
improving their protection.
The progressive force limiter operates in 
the same way, except that it takes the driver’s 
stature into consideration, thus optimising the 
reduction in the pressure exerted by the seat 
belt on the occupant’s chest in the event of an 
impact.
Fastening 
 
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the 
buckle.
►
 
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly 
by pulling the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.
►  Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.

These seat belt warning lamps only apply  to row 2.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they 
are all fastened before setting off.
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 fulfil their role fully.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt 
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench 
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned 
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be 
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
Outer seats
