TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration. acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful to
disarm the ASR and ESP systems to make
the wheels spin and regain grip.
- Press the button, located on the centre
console.
- The indicator light comes on: the ASR and ESP systems no longer act. Operating check
Good practice
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN network are
observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP systems
The luminous diode flashes when
the ASR or ESP is triggered.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),
- manually by pressing the button again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on
the display.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
The warning light may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.
Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically

Seat belts
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and slide
the assembly on the driver"s seat side and
on the individual passenger seat side.
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench,
the height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted.
Unfastening
Press the red button.
SEAT BELTS
CORRECT USE OF THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size. The seat belt is rolled up
automatically when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
rolled up correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap. Driver's seat belt not fastened
warning light
When the vehicle is started, this
warning light comes on if the
driver has not fastened his seat
belt.
Passenger seat belt not
fastened warning light
If your vehicle is fitted with a front
passenger seat, when the vehicle
is started, this warning light
comes on if the passenger has not fastened
his seat belt. Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering 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.

Seat belts
SAFETY
5
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
The air bag warning light comes on if the
pretensioners are triggered.
Consult a CITROËN dealer. Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap, even with the seat belt fastened. FRONT SEAT BELTS
REAR SEAT BELTS
If your vehicle is fitted with an individual seat
and a 2-seat bench, the 3 seats are fitted
with three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has its seat belt guide and
inertia reel integrated with the seat back.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 5.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer
guarantees all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a CITROËN
dealer: they must not show any signs of
wear, cutting or fraying and they must not be
transformed or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by CITROËN dealers.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- restrain one person only,
- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part of
the seat belt should always pass under the
armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
With front air bags
The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.
Without front air bag
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front air bag, the centre passenger's
seat belt does not have a pretensioner.
In rows 2 and 3, take care to fasten the
correct seat belt in the correct buckle. Do not
invert the seat belt or the buckle of the side
seats with the buckle or the seat belt of the
centre seat.

Air bags
SAFETY
5
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the centre seats of rows 2
and 3) in the event of a serious collision;
they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the air bags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions,
the air bags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is sufficient to provide
maximum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact. It is imperative that the passenger
air bag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 5. Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the air bag will not
operate.
The triggering of an air bag or air bags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
AIR BAGS

Air bags
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation
of the air bags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the air bag
systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network. Side air bags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the side air
bags. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or glue anything to the seat backs.
This could cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side air bag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the fascia, they risk serious injury if the
air bag is triggered.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of
the air bags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an air bag
is triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose. Curtain air bags
Do not fix or glue anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head when the
curtain air bag inflates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, they play a part in securing the
curtain air bags.

Air bags
Disarming
The passenger's front air bag alone can be
disarmed:
- With the ignition switched off , insert
the key into the passenger air bag
disarming switch,
- turn it to the "OFF" position,
- then remove the key keeping the slot in this position. Front air bags
The front air bags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver
and in the fascia for the front passenger. Reactivation
In the
"OFF" position, the passenger air bag
will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the
air bag slot to the "ON" position to re-activate
the air bag and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact. To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to inflate.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front air bag has been
disarmed, 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 directed
from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.
The front air bag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.
If the two air bag warning lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
