Safety
Associated systems which guarantee the directional stability of the vehicle within the limits of the laws of physics:
- traction control (TCL),
- active 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 automaticallyeach time the vehicle is started.
The illumination o
f 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 movefreely and regain grip.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this symbol on the instrument panel screen.






















Trajectory control systems
)Press this button, located to the right of thesteering wheel, until the symbol appears in
the instrument panel screen.

Operation

They operate when the vehicle speed is higher
than 10 mph (15 km / h).
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.

Safety
Airbags
System designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger) in the event of violent collisions.
It supplements the action of the force-limiting seat belts (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbagsare deployed instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger); immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidlyso that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or incer tain roll-over conditions, the airbags
will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient to provide optimum protection in
th
ese situations.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off. This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during thesame or a subsequent accident), theairbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is accompanied by a slight emission 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 slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a shorttime.

Impact detection zones
A.
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
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 forward movement.
System which protects the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in the event of a
front impact.
The driver's airba
g is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

158
Safety
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 mentioned are 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 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 thedashboard.
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.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seatcovers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a CITROËN dealer, Refer to the "Accessories" section.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (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 any nearer to the door than necessary.


*
According to country.


Avoid attaching a heavy object to the key asit could become a dangerous projectile if theairbag were deployed.




Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. Thiscould cause injury to the head if the cur tainairbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they playa par t in securing the cur tain airbags.

- when it is not possible to put thegearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the ground,

- where there is no approved towing bar available...
Towing with the wheels on the groundis only possible on 2 wheel drive (2WD) versions.


Recovery of your vehicle


2 wheel drive (2WD) versions: towingwith the wheels on the ground
)Put the gear lever into neutral (position Nfor the CVT gearbox).)Unlock the steering by by turning the
