Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability andmanoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in par ticular on poor or slippery surfaces.
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in completesafety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- emergency braking assistance (EBA).









Emergency or
assistance call
This system allows you to make an emergencyor assistance call to the emergency services or
to the dedicated CITROËN service.
For more information on the use of this function, refer to the "Audio and telematics"section.
When braking in an emergency, press very firmly without releasing thepressure.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.

y

The warning lamp comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switchedon (ON position). If it does not go off or does not come on, contact a CITROËNdealer or a qualified workshop. I
f this warning lamp comes oncontinuously it indicates a malfunction of the wheel anti-lock braking system
which could result in a loss of controlof the vehicle on braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
When the vehicle is moving
Illumination of these twowarning lamps indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake force distributionwhich could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The illumination o

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)














Trajectory control 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. ) Press this button button, located on the
dashboard to the right of the steeringwheel, until the corresponding symbol
appears in the instrument panel screen.
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 displa
y of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.

Reactivation

These systems are not reactivated automatically.
)Press this button again to reactivate themmanually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel indicates
the reactivation of the ASR and ESP systems. 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 requiredby the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.


The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, butthis should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these systems depends on obser vation of the manufacturer’s recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the assembly and repair procedures used by theCITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.



Operating fault
The display of this message in the instrument panel indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop
to have the ASR /ESP systems checked.

Airbags
The airbags have been designed to maximise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
violent collisions. They supplement the action
of the force-limiting seat belts. In this case, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantaneously and protect
the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidlyso that they do not hinder the visibility of
the occupants or their possible exit from
t
he vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in cer tain roll-over conditions,
the airbags will not be deployed; the seat
belt alone is su
fficient to provide maximum protection in these situations.

The airbags do not operate whenthe ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the sameor a subsequent accident), the airbagwill not operate.
The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic cartridgeincorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitiveindividuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a shorttime.

Impact detection zones

Front impact zone. B.
Side impact zone.
Front airbags


Deployment

The airbags are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or par t of the front impact
z
one A , in the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from
th
e front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their forward movement. S
ystem which protects the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in the event of
a front impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag isfitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Sit in a normal upright position. Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between theoccupants 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 beenstolen or broken into, have the airbagsystems 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 mentionedare obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. Thebag inflates almost instantly (within a fewmilliseconds) 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 lateralairbags. For information on the range of seatcovers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practical information - § Accessories"). Do not fix or attach anything to the seatbacks (clothing...). This could cause injuryto the chest or arms if the lateral airbag isdeployed.Do not sit with the upper par t of the body anynearer to the door than necessary.


Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by itsspokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet onthe dashboard.
If possible, 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.

Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the cur tain airbag is deployed.Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a par t in securing thecurtain airbags.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
