Switching off
This system cannot be deactivated by
the
driver.
dynamic stability control
( d S c )
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.

reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on.
-

Press this button again to reactivate it

manually.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the ASR system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Good practice
The DSC and ASR systems offer exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
The correct operation of these systems
depend on observation of the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and assembly
and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.Load inertia control
The true total weight of a commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on the load
carried. As a result, the centre of gravity of
the vehicle can move, both longitudinally
and in height.
All such variations have an effect on braking,
traction, the behaviour of the vehicle when
cornering and the tendency to overturn.
Load inertia control estimates the true
total weight of the vehicle by analysing its
behaviour under acceleration and braking.
This system then adapts the operation of
the DSC and ASR systems according to the
weight distribution in the vehicle. In critical
situations, your vehicle than remains more
securely on its intended trajectory.
Driving safely

103
Intelligent traction c ontrol
System to improve traction on slippery
surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...)
This system checks for situations of difficult
surface adhesion that could make it difficult
to move off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent
t
raction

c

ontrol takes over from the AS r system,
by transferring drive to the wheel with the
best grip on the ground to provide the best
traction and trajectory control. 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.
This system is active up to about 18 mph
(30 km/h).
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 AS r system is active again.
Operating fault If a fault occurs with the intelligent
traction control system, this
warning lamp comes on.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

GEnErAL POI nt S O n AI r BAGS
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 passengers. 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.

Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with airbags, observe the safety guidelines below for these to be fully effective.
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...), do not fix or attach anything near
to or in the trajectory of the airbags as this
could cause injuries during deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
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.
c

urtain 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.

Refer to the "Technical data -
"Dimensions" section for more
information on the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Maximum load on the roof, evenly
distributed: 150 kg, for all versions,
within the vehicle's weight limit (Gross
Vehicle Weight).
For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a carrying
system (roof bars or roof rack) that is
approved for your vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to an H1 or
H2

height van, combi and minibus versions.
On a minibus, check for the presence of roof
air conditioning units. The carrying system must always be
secured to the fitting points provided on the
vehicle's roof: 6, 8 or 10, depending on the
wheelbase of the vehicle.
Observe the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.
On all H3 height versions, the roof
cannot be fitted with a carrying system.
Observe in full the legal requirements
related to carrying outsized loads.

CITROËN dealers can advise you on
the specifications (frequency waveband,
maximum output power, aerial position,
specific installation conditions) of the
transmitters which can be fitted, in
accordance with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not listed by
CITROËN may result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system.
We request that you take note of this point
and recommend that you contact a dealer
to be shown the range of recommended
equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold or operated, it may be
compulsory to have a high visibility vest,
warning triangle, replacement bulbs and
breathalyzer in the vehicle.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat and its fixings are

positioned correctly,
-

never fit one mat on top of another
.

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to
the driving wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised. Advice on installation
F
If you have to fit the chains during


a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface on the side of the road.
F
Apply the parking brake and position any


wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your vehicle.
F
Fit the chains following the instructions


provided by the manufacturer.
F
Move of

f gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
Stop your vehicle and check that the


snow chains are correctly tightened.
It is recommended that before you
leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface. Avoid driving with chains on roads that
have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.215/70 R15 12 mm
