front foglamp to illuminate the inside
of a bend, when the vehicle speed is
below 25 mph (approximately 40 km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, intersec-
tions, parking manouevres...).

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS (ESP)

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability control (ESC)

The anti-slip regulation (also known as
traction control) optimises traction to pre-
vent skidding of the wheels, by acting on
the brakes of the driving wheels and on
the engine.
The electronic 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, within
the limits of the laws of physics.

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.








Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving
on snow: intelligent traction control.
This system detects situations of diffi -
cult surface adhesion that could make it
diffi cult to move off or make progress on
deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent trac-
tion control
limits the amount of wheel
slip to provide the best traction and tra-
jectory control for your vehicle.
In extremely severe conditions (deep
snow, mud, ...), when it proves impos-
sible to move off, it may be useful to
temporarily deactivate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow the wheels to spin
freely and so allow movement of the
vehicle.

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), if you are un-
able to make progress, it may be ad-
visable to temporarily deactivate these
systems, so that the wheels can spin
freely and allow the vehicle to move.



Press the "ESP OFF"
button, locat-
ed near the steering wheel.
If the indicator lamp in the button comes
on, this indicates that these systems
are deactivated.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on surfaces of-
fering low levels of adhesion.

It is recommended that the systems be
reactivated as soon as possible.

8
SAFETY
142
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
or a qualifi ed workshop.

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.

Rear seat belts

The rear seats are each fi tted with a
three-point seat belt, with force limiter
and, for the outer seats, an effort limiter.

Fastening

in the buckle.


Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.


On the outer seat belts, raise the
bar to the top of the backrest to
prevent the tongue from knocking
against the side trim.

Lateral airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous side impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the chest, between the hip
and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the seat
backrest frame, door side.

Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed uni-
laterally 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 infl ates between the
hip and shoulder of the front occupant
of the vehicle and the corresponding
door trim panel.

Impact detection zones







Curtain airbags

System which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of
a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pil-
lars and the upper passenger compart-
ment area.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the
same time as the corresponding lateral
airbag 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 curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, 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 serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle
or if the vehicle rolls over, the air-
bag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front col-
lision, the airbag is not deployed.

operation for electronic
management of the gears by the
gearbox,

- sport
programme for a more dy-
namic style of driving,

- snow
programme to improve driving

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR

System which reduces fuel consump-
tion by advising the driver to change up.
With an electronic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode.

Operation

Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one (or more)
gear(s). You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulso-
ry. In fact, the confi guration of the road,
the amount of traffi c and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
- You press the accelerator pedal.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear.
The information appears in the instru-
ment panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the
arrow can be accompanied by the rec-
ommended gear.

The system adapts its gear
change recommendation ac-
cording to the driving conditions
(slope, load, ...) and the de-
mands of the driver (power, ac-
celeration, braking, ...).
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.
