F Use the adjustment wheel to switch on and select the level of heating required:
0: Of f.
1: Low.
2: Medium.
3: High.
With the engine running, the front seats can be
heated separately. Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an
adequate temperature, you can stop
the function; reducing the consumption
of electrical current reduces fuel
consumption.
Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, for example).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.

Emergency or assistance
call
Localised Emergency Call
** According to the geographic coverage of "Localised Emergency Call", "Localised
Assistance Call" and the official national
language chosen by the owner of the
vehicle.
T

he list of countries covered and Telematic
ser vices is available from dealers or on the
website for your country.
In an emergency, press
this button for more than
2
seconds.
The flashing LED and the
voice message confirm that
the call has been made to the
"Localised Emergency Call"
call centre*.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels
the request; the LED goes off.
The LED remains on (without flashing) when
communication is established.
It goes off at the end of the call. "Localised Emergency Call" immediately
locates your vehicle and contacts you in
your own language**, and – if necessary –
requests that relevant emergency ser vices be
dispatched**. In countries where the ser vice is
not available, or when the locating ser vice has
been expressly declined, the call is sent directly
to the emergency services (112) without the
vehicle location.
If an impact is detected by the airbag
control unit, an emergency call is made
automatically and independently of the
deployment of any airbags.
Operation of the system
When the ignition is switched on, the indicator
lamp comes on for 3 seconds indicating that
the system is operating correctly. *

Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD system manages the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system (also known as Traction Control)
optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by
acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and
on the engine. It also improves the directional
stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Intelligent traction control
( " Snow motion ")
Depending on version, your vehicle has
a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor sur face
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
When lit up continuously, this
warning lamp indicates a fault with
the ABS.
If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, an audible signal
and a
message, it means that the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD) is defective.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by
a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly.
Safety

105
In emergency braking, press the brake
pedal hard and maintain this pressure.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of
a problem with grip or trajectory.
Deactivation of the ASR
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip. F

I
n the Driving
menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Deactivation is confirmed by the display of
a

message.
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Reactivation of the ASR
The system is reactivated automatically every
time the ignition is switched back on or from
31
mph (50 km/h).
Below 31
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
F

I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Operating fault
The illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a
message, indicates that
there is a
fault with these systems. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations, not
only about the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components but
also the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel. Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.

Deployment
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag , refer to the
corresponding section. The front airbag inflates between the thorax
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
for ward movement.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a
serious front
impact, in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and thorax.
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.
The airbags are deployed, except the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, 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. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a
serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
It is deployed unilaterally in the event of
a
severe side impact covering all or part of 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 hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the corresponding door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
System contributing towards greater protection
for 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 pillars and
the upper passenger compartment 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 inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
