Associated systems which contribute to the directional stability of the vehicle within the limits of the laws of physics:
- t raction control (TCl) ,
-

a
ctive stability control (ASC).
Traction control and active stability control
Traction control optimises traction to prevent
wheel spin, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
Active stability control acts on the brake of one
or more wheels and on the engine to keep the
vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver.Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
The illumination of this warning lamp
in the instrument panel indicates
that the ASC and TCL systems are
deactivated.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
This is indicated by the flashing of
this symbol on the instrument panel
screen.
Trajectory control systems
F Press this button, located to the left of the steering wheel, until the symbol appears in
the instrument panel screen.
Operation
They operate when the vehicle speed is higher
than 9 mph (15 km/h).
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.

Airbags
General information
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the seat belts fitted
with force limiters (all except the centre rear
passenger belt).
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 (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); 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 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 subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again. Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
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 is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
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 front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their for ward movement. System which contributes toward improving
protection for 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 is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Knee airbag*
Deployment
It is deployed at the same time as the front
airbags. System which contributes towards improving
the protection of the driver's knees in the event
of a serious front impact.
This airbag is fitted in the dashboard below the
steering column.System which contributes towards improving
protection for the driver and passenger in the
event of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front seat
back frame, on the door side.Deployment
The lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding
door trim panel.

For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the safety
recommendations below:
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...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
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.
Knee airbag*
Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the
steering wheel 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.
Advice
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.
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.
* Depending on country of sale. Avoid attaching a heavy object to the key as
it could become a dangerous projectile if the
airbag were deployed.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.

F If the specified pressure has not been reached after about 10 minutes, this means
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
for roadside assistance.
F

emove the compressor and stow the kit.Do not operate the compressor for more
than 10 minutes continuously.
If the compressor seems extremely
hot, switch it off and disconnect it
immediately. Leave it to cool for at
least
30 minutes. As soon as possible after a repair using
the kit, go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Make sure that you tell the technician
that you have used the kit. After
checking, the technician will advise you
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it
must be replaced.
If the vehicle is fitted with under-
inflation detection, the under-inflation
warning lamp remains on until the
system has been reinitialised.
For more information on Under-
inflation detection
, refer to the
corresponding section. F

(50 mph (80 km/h) max) to spread the
sealant product within the tyre. F

A
fter about 6 miles (10 km) or 5 minutes,
stop and check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the compressor. If the
pressure has dropped slightly, inflate the
tyre again to the specified figure. Carry out
the same check after another 6 miles
(10 km) or 5 minutes: if the pressure
has not held at the specified figure, this
indicates that the puncture repair has not
sealed; contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop for roadside assistance.
If the pressure is correct, carefully tighten the
tyre valve cap. You can drive at reduced speed
(50 mph (80 km/h) max) to go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
