Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
passenger(s) 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 airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
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 frontal 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 thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger side to cushion their
for ward movement. When driving
, keep the glove box closed.
Other wise, this could cause injury in the
event of an accident or sudden braking.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone, 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's abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
(row 2 and 3)
Feel , Shine , Business Lounge
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
contributes towards greater protection for the
passengers (with the exception of the centre
seats) 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. If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
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
abdomen and head.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Safety

119
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, 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 outer
rear passenger and the windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
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 airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal upright sitting position.
Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly
positioned and adjusted.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything
close to or in the way of the airbag release
trajectory
; 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, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag systems must only
be per formed 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 cannot
be ruled out when an airbag is deployed.
The airbag inflates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose. 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 fix or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, as this
could cause injuries when the airbags are
deployed.

If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased sensitivity to wind
that your vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message on the screen. The vehicle will not start
; contact a CITROËN
dealer as soon as possible.

-

p
ress the clutch pedal.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
only optional. In fact, the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow the
system’s advice.
This function cannot be deactivated. On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral


(N
is displayed in the instrument
panel) so that the engine can go
into standby (STOP mode of Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions. With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse.
Automatic gearbox
Automatic gearbox with 6 or 8 speeds, with
e lectronic management of gear changes. It
also offers a manual mode with sequential gear
changes via control paddles situated behind
the steering wheel.
Driving

150
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100
km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i

f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time (braking or
acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-

i

f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Electronic gearbox
Electronic gearbox with 6 speeds, with
electronic management of gear changes. It
also offers a manual mode with sequential gear
changes via control paddles situated behind

The inflation pressures specified for the
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6
miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar to the pressures
shown on the label. Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
Under-inflation detection does not replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
This system does not avoid the need
to regularly check the tyre pressures
(including the spare wheel) as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
load, high speed, long journey):

steering movements and avoid sudden
braking.
F

S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or
more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written
on the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres
before performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure
is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Without audio system
F Press this button for about 3 seconds then release it, an audible signal confirms the
reinitialisation.
With audio system or touch
screen
The reinitialisation is carried out via
the vehicle configuration menu.
Malfunction
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. The illumination of these warning lamps
indicates a fault with the system.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the
vehicle in all circumstances and must be
able to retake control of it at all times. The
driver must adapt the speed to climactic
conditions, traffic and the state of the
road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles
and to anticipate their movements before
indicating and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of
the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two hours. Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and
during the whole manoeuvre, in particular
using the mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired
through the accumulation of dirt (mud,
frost, etc.), in certain difficult weather
conditions (very heavy rain, snow) or if the
bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
; certain types of paint could
inter fere with the operation of the radar.
