SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors fi tted in each valve check
the tyre pressure during driving and
trigger a warning in the event of
malfunction (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).

Under-infl ated tyre The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the vigilance or
responsibility of the driver.
Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen lo-
cating the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The STOP
warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen lo-
cating the wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen
locating the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or indicating a fault
in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fi tted with this system
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to the "Technical
data - Identifi cation markings" sec-
tion) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent prema-
ture wear of the tyres, particularly in
arduous driving conditions (heavy
load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
signals on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with a
sensor.

SAFETY

AIRBAGS



System designed to maximise the
safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the rear centre pas-
senger) in the event of violent col-
lisions. It supplements the action of
the force-limiting seat belts.
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 airbags are deployed instantly
and protect the occupants of the
vehicle (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); imme-
diately after the impact, the air-
bags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit
of the occupants,

- in the case of a minor or rear im-
pact or in certain roll-over con-
ditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone
is suffi cient to provide optimum
protection in these situations.

The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent ac-
cident), the airbag will not operate.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.








Front airbags

System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the
centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's airbag is fi tted in
the dashboard above the glove box.

Deployment
The airbags are deployed simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag 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 di-
rected from the front to the rear of
the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.

VIII
138
SAFETY













For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:

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.
If possible, do not smoke as deploy-
ment 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.



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 (see "Practical information - §
Accessories").
Do not fi x 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.
Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the
roof. This could cause injury to the
head if the curtain airbag is de-
ployed.
If fi tted on your vehicle, do not re-
move the grab handles installed on
the roof, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.
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...). This could hamper
the operation of the airbags or injure
the occupants.
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 qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned 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 infl ates
almost instantly (within a few mil-
liseconds) then defl ates within the
same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this pur-
pose.

DRIVING
SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
Once the limit speed has been
reached, the accelerator pedal no
longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: a speed of at least 20 mph
(approximately 30 km/h) must be
programmed.
The speed limiter controls are located
on the left-hand side of the steering
wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone A
of the
instrument panel screen.


Steering mounted controls

adjust the memorised maximum
speed , by means of short or long
presses on:


)
button 4
to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed,

)
button 2
to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.
Successive presses will modify the
maximum speed in steps of 1 mph
(1 km/h) and a sustained press in
steps of 3 mph (5 km/h).


Activation

When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button 3
so that
the limitation is activated.
On selection of the
function, the previous
memorised speed and
the information "OFF"

are displayed in the in-
strument panel. The information "OFF"

then disappears from
the instrument panel
screen.
While the function is active, pressing
the accelerator pedal will not enable
the programmed speed to be ex-
ceeded, except if you press the pedal
hard down to beyond the end-of-travel
switch.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memorised.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

DRIVING
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must
be at least 25 mph (approximately
40 km/h) and you must engage:


- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear, in manual mode,
on an electronic or automatic
gearbox,

- position A
on an electronic gear-
box or D
on an automatic gearbox.

cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone A
of the
instrument panel screen.


Displays in the instrument
panel

Activation
You can then release the accelerator
pedal. The vehicle will automatically
keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
in the instrument panel screen by
pressing:


)
button 4
to increase the speed,

)
