Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and the display of a
message.

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so. F
I f you have a compressor (such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit), check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.
If it is not possible to carry out this check
straight away, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.

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.

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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S
ide impact zone.
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.

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service:
