SAFETY
DRIVING SAFELY
PARKING BRAKE HAZARD WARNING LAMP
S
Press this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only be
used in dangerous situations, when stopping
in an emergency or when driving in unusual
conditions.
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your
vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied fi rmly before
leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has not
been released properly, this is indicated
by this warning lamp which comes on on
the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is loaded.


Releasing

HORN

Press the centre of the steering wheel.
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 full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
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 firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to steer 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 approved. If this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake warning
lamp, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control
of the vehicle on braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.

SAFETY
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAMME (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.
In certain exceptional conditions (when
starting a vehicle stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR system to make the
wheels spin and regain grip.

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The LED flashes when the ASR
or ESP is triggered. Press this button.
The LED on the button comes on: the ASR
system no longer acts on the engine
operation, but continues to act on the brakes.
Operating fault

When a malfunction of the ASR
system occurs, this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the screen.

Driving safely

When a malfunction of the ESP
system occurs, this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.


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 fitting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN network are
observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer. 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).

SAFETY
Airbags
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle:
if the triggering threshold is reached, the
airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle. The airbags will not be deployed in collisions
which are not serious, for which the seat belt
is sufficient to provide maximum protection.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.

Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on. Front airbags

These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard
for the front passenger. They are deployed
simultaneously, except in cases where the
passenger airbag has been deactivated.
The gas escaping from the deployed
airbags can be a minor irritant.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbag fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.

SAFETY
Airbags
Good practice

If your vehicle is fitted with front, lateral
and curtain airbags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is strictly
prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible; deployment of
the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.


Lateral airbags

Only put approved covers on the front seats.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.
