Driving safely
Emergency braking assistance *
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to reach the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance. The emergency braking assistance
is an integral part of the ESP system
Activation
It is brought into play by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly
without releasing the pressure.
Good practice
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
* Depending on country of sale.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
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.
Activation
The ESP system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started and cannot
be deactivated.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
Illumination of this warning lamp
and the warning lamp in the

"ASR OFF" button, accompanied
by a message in the instrument
panel screen, indicates a fault with the ESP
system, which is deactivated automatically.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer. Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and engine
control (MSR)
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.
Engine control is an integral part of the ASR
system and intervenes when a sudden gear
change is made or of one of the driving
wheels looses grip, by reducing engine
torque to avoid loss of stability of the vehicle.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem od adhesion or
trajectory, these systems come into play.
Deactivation
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 the "ASR OFF" button, located in
the middle of the dashboard.
If the button's warning lamp comes
on, accompained by a message in the
instrument panel screen, this indicates that
the ASR system is deactivated.
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 the "ASR OFF" button again to
reactivate it manually.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen, this
indicates a fault with the ASR
system, which is deactivated automatically.
Have the systems checked by a CITROËN
dealer. Good practice
The ASR system offers exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of this system
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking
components, the electronic components and
the assembly and repair procedures used by
CITROËN dealers.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Driving safely
Intelligent Traction Control
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 Traction
Control takes over from the ASR system,
by transferring drive to the wheel with the
best grip on the ground to provide the best
traction and trajectory control. Activation
On starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
Press the button, located on the dashboard,
to activate the system; the warning lamp in
the button comes on.
The 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 warning lamp in the button comes on.
The system is reactivated automatically
as soon as the speed drops below 18 mph
(30 km/h).
Deactivation
Press the button, located on the dashboard,
to deactivate the system; the warning lamp
in the button goes off and the
ASR system is
active again.
Operating fault
This warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel if there is a
fault with the system.

Airbags
SIDE AIRBAGS
Activation
It is triggered unilaterally in the event of a
serious side impact, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The side airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad. In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
triggered. Operating fault
If this warning light comes on on
the instrument panel, consult a
CITROËN dealer without delay
to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be
triggered in the event of a serious
impact.

SAFETY
Airbags
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front airbags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver
and in the fascia for the front passenger.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless the
passenger's front airbag has been disarmed,
in the event of a serious front impact.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement. Disarming
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
disarmed. The airbag is disarmed from the
trip computer.
The airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming. To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
airbag 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 airbag were to inflate.
Refer to the "MENU" section of
chapter 3, then select OFF on the
"Passenger airbag" menu. Operating fault
If the two airbag warning lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-
facing child seat. Consult a CITROËN
dealer . If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
consult a CITROËN dealer without delay
to have the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be triggered in the event of a
serious impact.

Fuel
FILLING WITH FUEL
Capacity of the fuel tank: approximately
45 litres .
Low fuel level
When the minimum fuel tank level
is reached, this warning lamp
comes on. When it first comes on,
you have approximately 6
litres
of fuel remaining. Refuel without delay to
avoid running out of fuel. Refuelling must be done
with the engine off.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
- Hold the filler cap with one hand.
- With the other hand, insert the key, then turn it a third of a turn.
- Remove the fi ller cap and hang it on the hook, located on the inside of the fi ller fl ap.
FUEL CIRCUIT DEACTIVATED
In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
It also triggers the automatic unlocking of
the doors and switching on of the courtesy
lights. A message appears on the instrument
panel display according to version.
Turn the key to the STOP position to prevent
discharging of the battery.
Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key. When the fuel filler flap is open, a
safety system prevents sliding of the
side door.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
Opening the filler cap may cause a noise
resulting from the inrush of air. This vacuum
is quite normal and results from the sealing
of the fuel system.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle; this could
cause malfunctions.
After filling the fuel tank, lock the filler cap
and close the flap.
