49 Safety





Emergency braking
assistance


In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure morequickly and therefore reduce the stoppingdistance.
It is triggered by 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
the effectiveness of the braking.
*
The CSC system is linked with the EBFD on
vehicles which are not fitted with ASR/ESP
systems.














Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
braking systems (EBFD and CSC * )
The ABS, in conjunction with the EBFD and
CSC *
braking systems, increases the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on brakingand provides improved control, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems provide fullcontrol of the braking pressure wheel by wheel.A distribution between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the
EBFD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of theCSC * (Cornering Stability Control).


When changing wheels (tyres), make
sure that these are approved.

The anti-lock braking system comesinto operation automatically when thereis a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS, which could cause a loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

When these warning lampscome on simultaneously,
it indicates that there is afault with the braking system or that the parkingbrake has not been released fully, which cancause a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, pressvery firmly without releasing thepressure.

53 Safety

*
According to model.
The driver must ensure that thepassengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all properly restrainedbefore setting off. Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,always fasten your seat belt, even for shor t journeys. Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their role fully. If the seats have armrests * , the lap par tof the seat belt must always pass under the armrest.The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stored automatically when notin use.Before and after use, ensure that theseat belt is reeled in correctly.The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis. The upper par t must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automaticlocking device which comes into operation in the event of a collision, on emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling rapidly on the strap and releasing it.
In order to be effective, a seat belt: - must be tightened as close to the body as
possible, - must restrain one adult only, - must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,- must be pulled in front of you with asmooth movement, checking that it doesnot twist, - must not be transformed or modified to avoid altering its performance.In accordance with current safety regulations, all repairs and checks must be carried out bya CITROËN dealer who can guarantee thatthe work is carried out correctly, or qualifiedworkshop. Have your seat belts checked regularly by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop and particularly if the straps show signs of damage.Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and rolled up correctly.


Recommendations for children:



- use a suitable child seat if the passenger isless than 12 years old or shor ter than one metre fifty,

- do not use the strap-guide *
when a child seat is installed.

- never use the same seat belt to securemore than one person,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap.Depending on the nature and seriousnessof the impacts, the pre-tensioning device may be triggered before and independently of theair bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners is accompanied by a slight emission of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat beltssystem checked, and if necessary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.

56Safety
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.
Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the
airbags can cause burns or the risk of injuryfrom 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 pillars or the
roof. This could cause injury to the head when
the cur tain airbag inflates.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags is
accompanied b
y a slight emission of harmlesssmoke and a noise due to the activation of
the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system. This smoke is not harmful but sensitiveindividuals may experience some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in a slight loss
of hearing for a shor t time.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, injury or slight burns to the head,chest or arms when the air bag is deployed cannot be ruled out. Indeed, the bag inflates
almost instantly (approximately 30 milliseconds)
then deflates within the same time discharginghot gas via the openings provided for thispurpose.
This equipment will only operate once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or asubsequent accident), the airbag will not inflate.



Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the seats, these
will not hamper the inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seatbacks. This could cause injury to the chest or
arms when the lateral airba
g inflates.
Do not sit with the upper par t of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
For the front, lateral and cur tain airbags to be fully effective, obser ve the following safety rules:Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. Sit in a normal upright position. Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (child, animal, object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. All work on the airbag systems is strictly prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the CITROËN dealer network or a qualified workshop.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have theairbag systems checked.
