Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
o
f the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
d
riving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake
of one or more wheels and on the engine
t
o keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
b
y the driver, within the limits of the laws of
p
hysics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They
come into operation in the event of a grip
o

This
is indicated by flashing of this
w
arning lamp in the instrument panel.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Deactivation
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud, ...), if you are unable to move off, it may

s
ystems so that the wheels can spin freely and
a
llow the vehicle to move.
F
P

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the e
vent of a serious front impact to all or part of the
f
ront impact zone A,
in the longitudinal centreline
o
f 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
h
ead of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering
wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,
p
assenger's side to cushion their for ward
m
ovement. To assure the safety of your child,
the
passenger's front airbag must
b
e deactivated when you install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
p
assenger
sea
t.
Other wise, the child would risk being
s
eriously injured or killed if the airbag
w
ere deployed.
System which protects the driver and front
p
assenger in the event of a serious front impact
i
n order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
t
horax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
s
teering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
f
itted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn the s
witch to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag
and so assure the safety of your front
p
assenger in the event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat belt and p
assenger's front airbag warning lamps
d
isplay for approximately one minute, if
t
he passenger's front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, contact a CITROËN d
ealer or a qualified workshop to have
t
he system checked. The airbags may
n
o longer be deployed in the event of a
s
erious
im
pact.

Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w

f
ollowing the repair of a puncture, to have the

riginal wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
Any
tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
f
itted with this system must be carried out by a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If
after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
b
y your vehicle (fitting snow tyres for example),
y
ou must have the system reinitialised by a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
lead to visible deformation of the
t
yre. Do not rely on just a visual check.This alert is also displayed when one or
more
wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(
for example, a space-saver or steel
