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 and ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, located on
the left below the steering wheel.
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the indicator
lamp in the button comes on, this
indicates that the ASR and ESP
systems are deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h) (except 1.6 litre
THP 150 and R ACING petrol engines).
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to
reactivate them manually.
Operating fault
The ESP/ASR systems offer
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 these
systems depends on obser vation of the
manufacturer's recommendations on:
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction screen, this
indicates a malfunction of these systems.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Airbags
System designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) in the event of violent collisions.
It supplements the action of the force-limiting
seat belts (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger); immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
cer tain roll-over conditions, the airbags
will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient to provide optimum protection in
these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
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.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B.
Side impact zone.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emission
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
car tridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.

Checks
Battery Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Oil filter
Par ticle emission filter (Diesel)
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the Warranty and Maintenance Record and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to
the "Practical information" section for details of
the precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement inter vals for these
components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary
(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compar tment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop is required when replacing or
disconnecting the battery.
Failure to obser ve this recommendation may
shor ten the life of the battery. The star t of saturation of the
par ticle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the multi-
function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first par ticle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
