Side air bags
System which protects the driver and
passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury
to the chest.
Each side air bag is incorporated in
the front seat back frame, on the door
side.
Activation
The side air bag is triggered unilaterally
in the event of a serious side impact
applied to all or part of the side impact
zone B , perpendicular to the longitudi-
nal centreline of the vehicle on a hori-
zontal plane and directed from the out-
side towards the inside of the vehicle.

System which protects the driver and
p a s s e n g e r s ( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n o f t h e
rear centre passenger and the passen-
gers of row 3) in the event of a serious
side impact in order to limit the risk of
injury to the head.
Each curtain air bag is incorporated in
the pillars and the upper section of the
passenger compartment. Activation
The curtain air bag is triggered at the
same time as the corresponding side
air bag in the event of a serious side
impact applied to all or part of the side
impact zone
B , perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the outside towards the inside of the
vehicle.
T h e c u r t a i n a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.
In the event of a minor impact
or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over,
the air bag may not be triggered.
In the event of a rear or front colli-
sion, the air bag is not triggered.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on on the
instrument panel and this display appears
on the instrument panel display, contact
a CITROËN dealer to have the system
checked. The air bags may no longer be
triggered in the event of a serious impact.

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL
4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive and provides optimum traction
regardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle’s normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the
t o r q u e b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t a n d r e a r a x l e s
is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
guaranteeing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are
available and can be selected manually
by the driver in accordance with his
requirements.
You can change transmission mode
when stationary or while driving at a
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h) .
The transmission mode can be selected
by turning the control A . Display on the instrument panel
The transmission mode is displayed in
the form of an intermittent display on
the instrument panel display when the
transmission mode is selected.
Selecting the transmission
mode
The selection of this mode is rec-
ommended when the level of grip
permits.
2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two
wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a
tarmacked road on which the driver
considers that there is no risk of loss of
grip (dry road).
4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
p o o r o r d i f fi c u l t ( s a n d , m u d , s l o p e s , e t c . ) .
System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.

celerating to the required speed,
then press button 2 “COAST
SET” .
CRUISE CONTROL
The controls of this system are grouped
together on the steering wheel.
1.
“ON/OFF” button: activation / deac-
tivation of the cruise control mode.
2.
“COAST SET” button: storing of a
driving speed and decreasing of the
cruising speed.
3.
“ACC RES” button: increasing of
the cruising speed and recalling of
the stored speed.
4.
“CANCEL” button: switching off of
the cruise control. When you press button
1 , “CRUISE”
indicator light comes on on the instru-
ment panel.

The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
System which permits automatic main-
taining of the vehicle speed at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The
cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
25 mph (40 km/h) minimum and sec-
ond gear at least must be engaged in
t h e c a s e o f a m a n u a l g e a r b o x .
The cruise control is switched off
manually, by an action on the brake or
clutch pedal or if the ASC system is trig-
gered.
T h e p r o g r a m m e d s p e e d c a n b e e x -
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, etc.) located behind the
vehicle, but it cannot detect obstacles
located immediately below the bumper. Activation
The parking assistance is activated by
engaging reverse gear.
T h e p r o x i m i t y i n f o r m a t i o n i s i n d i c a t e d
by an audible signal which becomes
more frequent as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar object
may be detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
closer to it.
Location of the sensors
T h e v e h i c l e i s fi t t e d w i t h f o u r s e n s o r s :

CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the con-

marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the “LOW” and “FULL” marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.
