230 V/50 HZ POWER SOCKET
A 230 V/50 Hz socket (maximum power:
120 W) is fi tted to the centre console.
To use the socket:
)
lift the front armrest cover for ac-
cess to its compartment,
)
check that the warning lamp is on
green,
)
connect your multimedia or other
electrical device (telephone charger,
laptop computer, CD-DVD player,
baby food warmer...).
This socket works with the engine
running, as well as in STOP mode on
Stop & Start.
)
To connect a 12 V accessory (max
power: 120 W), lift the cover and
connect a suitable adaptor.
12 V ACCESSORY SOCKET
Connect only one device at a
time to the socket (no extension
or multi-way connector).
Connect only devices with class
II insulation (shown on the de-
vice).
As a safety measure, when elec-
trical consumption is high and
when required by the vehicle's
electrical system (particular
weather conditions, electrical
overload...), the current supply
to the socket will be cut off; the
green warning lamp goes off.
In the event of a fault with the socket,
the green warning lamp fl ashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

MATS
Removable carpet protection.
Fitting
When fi tting the mat for the fi rst time,
on the driver's side use only the fi xings
provided in the wallet attached.
The other mats are simply placed on
the carpet.
Removal
To remove the mat on the driver's side:
)

)
refi t the fi xings by pressing,
)
check that the mat is secured cor-
rectly.
To avoid any risk of jamming of
the pedals:
- only use mats which are
suited to the fi xings already
present in the vehicle; these
fi xings must be used,
- never fi t one mat on top of
another.
The use of mats not approved
by CITROËN may interfere with
access to the pedals and hinder
the operation of the cruise con-
trol/speed limiter.
STORAGE DRAWERS

for the driver's seat on versions with
electric seat.
Opening

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS (ESP)
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability control
(ESC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as
traction control) optimises traction to pre-
vent skidding of the wheels, by acting on
the brakes of the driving wheels and on
the engine.
The electronic stability control 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
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving
on snow: intelligent traction control.
This system detects situations of diffi -
cult surface adhesion that could make it
diffi cult to move off or make progress on
deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent trac-
tion control
limits the amount of wheel
slip to provide the best traction and tra-
jectory control for your vehicle.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), if you are un-
able to make progress, it may be ad-
visable to temporarily deactivate these
systems, so that the wheels can spin
freely and allow the vehicle to move.
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, located
near the steering wheel.
If this warning lamp comes on in the in-
strument panel and the indicator lamp
in the button comes on, this indicates
that these systems are deactivated.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on surfaces offer-
ing low levels of adhesion.
It is recommended that the systems be
reactivated as soon as possible.

SAFETY
139
The trajectory control systems
offer increased safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems is assured provided
that manufacturer's recommen-
dations are observed on:
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- assembly and repair proce-
dures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automati-
cally each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, this indicates a fault
with these systems.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
