Reinitialisation is confirmed by an low-pitched
audible signal.
A high-pitched audible signal indicates that the
reinitialisation has not been done.
The audible signal is accompanied by a
message, if your vehicle has a display screen.
The new pressure settings registered are
considered to be reference values by the
system.
Operating fault
The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
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.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel. The ASR /ESP systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures used by the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
Illumination of the warning lamp,
accompanid by a message in the
screen indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched of, or from
30
mph (50 km/h).
F

P
ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
T

he lamp in the button goes off.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and
ESP
systems.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.
Trajectory control systems
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem. The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
F

P
ress this button button, located on
the dashboard (driver's side), until the
corresponding symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen. T he lamp in the button comes on.Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP systems
checked.
Coasting with the engine off results in a
loss of power assistance for the steering.

correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.
F G uide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
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
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving their protection. When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, if the driver has not
fastened their seat belt.
Seat belt not fastened /
unfastened warning lamp
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h)
this warning lamp flashes for two minutes
accompanied by an audible signal of increasing
volume. Once these two minutes have elapsed,
this warning lamp remains on until the driver
fastens their seat belt.
This warning lamp also comes on in the
instrument panel if the driver and/or front
passenger unfastens their seat belt while
driving.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards the
safety of the occupants in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action
of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle; immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards providing your
protection in these situations.
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 subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again. The deployment of an airbag is
accompanied by a slight emission
of smoke and a noise, due to the
detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The detonation noise associated with
the deployment of an airbag may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's
front airbag if it has been deactivated, in the event
of a serious front impact 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 inflates between the thorax and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,
passenger's side to cushion their for ward
movement. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

instrument panel when the ignition is
on and until the airbag is reactivated.To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a rear ward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Reactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated:
F

F

t
hen, remove the key keeping the switch in
the new position. When you remove the rear ward facing child
seat, with the ignition on, turn the switch to
the "ON"
position to reactivate the airbag and
so assure the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message in the screen, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without
delay to have the system checked. The airbags may no
longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
If this warning lamp flashes, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay. The passenger's front
airbag may no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.
In the event of a fault, identified by the
illumination of at least one of the two
airbag warning lamps, do not install a
passenger (adult or child) at the front.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or qualified workshop.
