Practical information
TORCH
A removable torch, incorporated in the
wall of the boot, carries out two functions:
- boot light,
- torch.
The boot light operates automatically
when the boot is opened.
The torch operates with NiMH type
storage batteries.
Observe the polarities when fi tting
these storage batteries. Using the torch
Remove it from its location by pulling
from the top.
Press the switch, located on the back
of the torch, to switch it on or off.
The retaining clip allows you to position
the torch for precise use (for example,
lighting while changing a wheel).
Storing the torch
Always put the torch back starting by
positioning the lower part in its location.
If it is not engaged correctly it may not
charge and may not come on when the
boot is opened.
Putting the torch back in place
switches it off automatically if it has not
been switched off already.
The torch has a maximum operating
time of 45 minutes and charges within
a few hours while driving.
Never replace the storage batteries
with conventional batteries.

wheels towards the pavement and pull
the handbrake.
There is no advantage in engaging
a gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.
If the handbrake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning light which
comes on on the instrument panel. Automatic lighting of hazard
warning lights
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lights come
on automatically. They switch off
automatically the fi rst time you

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake
force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on
the display, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning light comes
on, together with the brake
and STOP warning lights,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
fi rmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce the braking distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil,
etc...) the ABS may increase the
braking distance. When braking in
an emergency, do not hesitate to
press the brake pedal fi rmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that these are
recommended by CITROËN .
Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer.

Driving safety
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.
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 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 fi tting 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 fl ashes
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-infl ated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.

Seat belts
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.
The height of the seat belt associated
with the centre seat of the front bench
cannot be adjusted.
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 The seat belts are fi tted 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.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of infl ation
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.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants. The equipment fi tted to
these seat belts is operational when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fi tted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in
the event of a collision or emergency
braking. You can release the seat belt
and allow the strap to roll up.
The air bag warning light comes on
if the pretensioners are triggered.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Unfastening
Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this warning light comes on if
the driver has not fastened his
seat belt.
Good practice
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.

Airbags
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 qualifi ed personnel of the CITROËN
network.
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 infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose. Side air bags
Only put recommended covers on the
seats. These will not hinder infl ation of
the side air bags. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the side air bag
infl ates.
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.

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.
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.
