Adjust the height and reach to suit your driving position.)
Push the control lever to lock theadjustment mechanism.






Rear view mirror
Adjustable mirror providing a central rear ward
view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, whichdarkens the mirror glass and reduces thenuisance to the driver caused by the sun, headlamps from other vehicles...


Adjustment
)Adjust the mirror so that the glass is
directed correctly in the "day" position.



Day / night position
)Pull the lever to change to the "night" anti-
dazzle position.
)Push the lever to change to the normal
"day" position.
Automatic day/night model
By means of a sensor, which measures the light from the rear of the vehicle, this system automatically and progressively changes
between the day and night uses.


Manual day/night model

As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spot".

In order to ensure optimum visibility during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens automatically when reverse gear is engaged.


As a safety precaution, these
operations should only be carried out while the vehicle is stationary.

Trajectory control systems


Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)


The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
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

These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on softground...), if you are unable to make progress, it may be advisable 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 instrument panel and the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this
indicates that these systems are deactivated. It is recommended that the systems be reactivated as soon as possible.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automaticallyeach time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to reactivate them manually.


Operating fault
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 qualified workshop.
The trajectory control systems offer increased safety in normal driving, butthis should not encourage the driver totake extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these systems is assured provided that manufacturer's recommendations are observed 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.

Airbags


Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Front airbags

Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except thepassenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or par t of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the head-
thorax of the front occupant of the vehicleand the dashboard to cushion their forwardmovement. S
ystem designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger) in the event of violent collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear 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 airbagsare deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after theimpact, 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 contributes towards ensuring your 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 thesame or a subsequent accident), theairbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic cartridgeincorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitiveindividuals may experience slight irritation. The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a shor t time.

System which protects the driver and frontpassenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of in
jury to the head and chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag isfitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the followingsafety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between theoccupants and the airbags (a child, pet,object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has beenstolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. Thebag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the sametime discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre partof the wheel.Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.If possible, do not smoke as 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
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact aCITROËN dealer (see "Practical information - § Accessories"). Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chestor arms if the lateral airbag is deployed. Do not sit with the upper par t of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the cur tainairbag is deployed. If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a par t in securing the cur tain airbags.
