prevent the engine stalling.
► To manually deactivate the system, press the
button; the indicator lamp goes out.
The function may be unavailable if the brakes overheat. Wait a few minutes for
them to cool down before trying again.
Malfunction
When a malfunction of the Hill Assist
Descent Control system occurs, this
warning lamp lights up.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel
which allows the strap length to automatically
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Activation/Deactivation
When starting the vehicle, this system is
deactivated.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate the
system.
When the button indicator lamp comes on, the
system is activated.
This system is active up to approximately 19
mph (30 km/h).
Above approximately 19 mph (30 km/h), the
system is automatically deactivated but the
button indicator lamp remains on.
The system is automatically reactivated as soon
as the speed returns below approximately 19
mph (30 km/h).
Malfunction
When a malfunction of the intelligent
traction control system occurs, this
warning lamp lights up.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Load inertia control
The actual total weight of a commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on its load.
The centre of gravity of the vehicle can therefore
move in the longitudinal direction and even in
height.
Each of these variations has repercussions
on braking, traction, cornering behaviour and
overturning.
The load inertia control estimates the actual total
weight of the vehicle by analysing its behaviour,
during acceleration and braking phases.
This system then adapts the intervention of the
DSC and ASR systems according to the weight
distribution of the vehicle. In critical situations,
your vehicle therefore remains more safely on its
trajectory.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
Descent assistance system on roads with low
grip (mud, gravel, etc.) or with a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of the vehicle
slipping or running out of control as it moves
downhill.
It maintains the vehicle at a constant speed
during a descent by acting independently and
differentially on the brakes.
Activation / Deactivation
When starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
► With the speed below 19 mph (30 km/h),
press this button to activate the system; the
button indicator lamp lights up.
When the vehicle begins its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the
button indicator lamp flashes.
The brake lamps automatically light up when the
function is activated.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h), the
system is automatically deactivated but the
button indicator lamp remains on.
The system is automatically reactivated as soon
as the speed returns below 19 mph (30 km/h).
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal again at any time.
For the system to activate, the slope
must be greater than 8%.
Do not use the system with the gearbox in
neutral.

Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiter
This system reduces the pressure of the seat
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic
device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. Deployment of the
pretensioners is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Front seat belts
The driver's seat is fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioner and a force limiter.
On versions with a front passenger airbag, the
passenger's seat is also fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioner and a force limiter.
The front bench seat is fitted with two seat belts.
If you install a front bench seat as an
accessory, it must be fitted with approved
seat belts.
Seat belts not fastened warning lamp
When the vehicle is started, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by an
increasing audible signal, if the driver and/or the
front passenger has not fastened their seat belt.
This alert works equally well for versions with an
individual passenger front seat as for versions
with a two-seat front bench seat.

Safety
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:
– if there is a violent impact, the airbags deploy
instantly and help better protect occupants of the
vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility
or the possible exit of the occupants.
– in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain rollover conditions, the airbags are not
deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards
ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
engine is not running.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will not be
deployed again.
return and slide the whole thing, then release to
lock.
The belt associated with the central seat is not
height adjustable.
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened,
START mode of Stop & Start will not be
invoked. The engine can then only be
restarted using the key.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats / bench seats are fitted with
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
The central seat has a guide and an inertia reel,
which are attached to the backrest.
Each side seat is provided with a support to
hang the belt buckle when not in use.
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the
buckle.
► Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must
always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles, as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
– must be tightened as close to the body as
possible;
– must be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, ensuring that it is not twisted;
– must only be used to secure one person;
– must not show signs of tearing or fraying;
– must not be changed or modified, in order
to avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.
Have the seat belts checked regularly by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN
dealers.

The airbags do not operate when the
engine is not running.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will not be
deployed again.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
smoke and a noise, resulting from activation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the
system.
Although this smoke is not harmful, sensitive
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 that protects the driver and front
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact, in order to limit the risk of head and
chest injury.
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.
Lateral airbags and curtain
airbags
If fitted to your vehicle, the lateral airbags are
built into the backrests of the front seats, on the
side by the door.
The curtain airbags are built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area, in the
roof above the front seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
window.
They deploy on one side only (the side where
the collision occurs).
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on, contact a
CITROËN dealer to have the system
checked.
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 performed by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, 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

Safety
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
– a child alone and unattended in a vehicle,
– a child or an animal in a vehicle which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,
– the keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
Child seat at the rear
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.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm 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 roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on
the roof, as they play a part in securing the
curtain airbags.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
– In accordance with European regulations, all
children under the age of 12 or less than 4
ft 11” (150 cm) tall must travel in approved
child seats suited to their weight , on seats
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
– Statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
– Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in
the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
– ‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,
– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
harness of child seats, keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of the vehicle.
If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.

Child seat at the rear
"Forward facing" or "Rearward
facing"
► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the "forward facing" child seat or the
"rearward facing" child seat itself do not touch
the vehicle's front seat.
► Verify that the backrest of the "forward facing"
child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and is ideally in contact
with it.
Child seat at the front
► Adjust the front passenger seat to the
highest and intermediate longitudinal
position , with the backrest straightened.
"Forward facing"
You must leave the front passenger
airbag active.
"Rearward facing"
The front passenger airbag must be deactivated before installing a rearward
facing child seat. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed .
Warning label - Front passenger airbag
You must comply with the following instruction,
reminded by the warning label on both sides of
the passenger sun visor:
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
