The trajectory control systems
offer increased safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems is assured provided
that manufacturer's recommen-
dations are observed on:
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- assembly and repair proce-
dures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated au-
tomatically each time the ignition is
switched back on or from 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.
If this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel and the " ESP OFF
"
indicator lamp in the button come
on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen, this
indicates a fault with these systems.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer

SEAT BELTS
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side im-
pact. Depending on the severity of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly 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 oc-
cupant, so improving their protection.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
in the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle.
Guide the seat belt as it reels in.
The corresponding warning lamp 1
or
2
comes on in red on the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning lamps
display, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen, if
the seat belt is not fastened or is un-
fastened.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h)
this warning lamp fl ashes for two min-
utes accompanied by an audible signal
of increasing volume. Once these two
minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp
remains on until the driver and/or the front
passenger fastens their seat belt.

three-point seat belt, with force limiter
and, for the outer seats, an effort limiter.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
in the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.

ing warning lamps 3

nal and a message in the screen, if a

AIRBAGS
System designed to maximise the safe-
ty of the occupants (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the force-limit-
ing seat belts (with the exception of the
centre rear passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front
and side impacts sustained in the im-
pact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection
of the occupants of the vehicle (with
the exception of the rear centre pas-
senger); immediately after the im-
pact, the airbags defl ate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or
the exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone contributes towards
ensuring 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 subse-
quent accident), the airbag will
not be deployed again.
A.
Front impact zone.
B.
Side impact zone.
Impact detection zones
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotech-
nic cartridge incorporated in the
system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experi-
ence slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivat-
ed, 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 infl ates between the tho-
rax 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 forward movement.

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
insert the key in the passenger air-
bag deactivation switch,
turn it to the "OFF"
position,
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the in-
strument panel and/or in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display when the
ignition is on and until the airbag is re-
activated. To assure the safety of your
child, the passenger's front air-
bag must be deactivated when
you install a "rear facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
the switch to the "ON"
position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front air-
bag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if the pas-
senger's front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags may no
longer be deployed in the event of a se-
rious impact.
