Driving safely
TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Switching off
This system cannot be deactivated by
the driver.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
The electronic stability programme 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.
With the DSC system, maintain course
without trying to countersteer.
Operation
The DSC system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started. Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and confirmed by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
indicates a fault with the DSC system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Operation
This system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem of adhesion or
trajectory, this system comes into play.
Switching off
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow,
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to
deactivate the ASR system, so that the
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.
- Press this button, located in the
middle of the dashboard, to deactivate
the system.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.
If the button's warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, this indicates that
the ASR system is deactivated.
It comes into operation in the
event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning
lamp in the instrument panel.

Driving safely
System that provides assistance when
descending on surfaces with poor grip
(mud, gravel...).
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss
of control of the vehicle while descending a
hill.
It operates together with the Intelligent
Traction Control .
Hill descent control
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, the system is deactivated.
Press this button, located in the middle of the
dashboard, to activate the system; the indicator
lamp in the button comes on.
For the system to operate, the slope must be
steeper than 8%.
This system is active up to about 18 mph
(30 km/h).
As soon as the speed of the vehicle exceeds
18 mph (30 km/h), the system is automatically
deactivated, but the indicator lamp in the button
stays on.
The system reactivates automatically as soon
as the speed of the vehicle drops below 18 mph
(30 km/h).
Switching off
Press this button, located in the middle of
the dashboard, to deactivate the system; the
indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the hill
descent control system, this
warning lamp comes on.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, this system is
deactivated.
Press this button, located in the middle of
the dashboard, to activate the system; the
indicator lamp in the button comes on.

Once the speed exceed 18 mph (30 km/h),
the system is deactivated automatically, but
the indicator lamp in the button stays on.
The system is reactivated automatically as
soon as the speed drops below 18 mph
(30 km/h).
Switching off
Press this button, located in the middle of
the dashboard, to deactivate the system;
the indicator lamp in the button goes off and
the ASR system is active again.

SAFETY
Airbags
GENERAL POINTS ON AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
- in the event of a serious collision, the airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,
- in the event of a less serious impact, an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on. Front airbags
These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard
for the front passenger. They are deployed,
except the passenger's airbag if it has been
deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.

SAFETY
Airbags
Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with front, lateral
and curtain airbags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
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.
Smoke as little as possible; 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.
Lateral airbags
Fit only approved covers on the front seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when 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 fix or attach anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

Under the bonnet
On the inside
This operation must only be carried out with the
vehicle stationary and the driver's door open.
Pull the release lever on the side of the
dashboard towards you.
On the outside
Push the safety catch lever located above
the grille to the right and raise the bonnet. Before closing the bonnet, put the stay back
in its housing.
Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of
its travel. Check that the bonnet has latched.
OPENING THE BONNET
Do not open the bonnet in strong
winds.
When the engine is hot, handle the safety
catch and stay with care (risk of burns). If the bonnet is not closed
correctly, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
an automatic change to START mode.
CLOSING THE BONNET
Bonnet stay
Unclip the stay and tilt it to insert it in the
first notch, then the second.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, ...) be limited.
