Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.

Activation

It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.














Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
pro
gramme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as TractionControl) optimises traction to prevent skiddingof 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 automaticallyeach time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a gripor 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...), 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.
Illumination of the lamp in the button indicates
that the ASR and ESP s
ystems 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, THP 155 and THP 160) and
RACING petrol engines. )
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to
reactivate them manually.

Operating fault

The ESP/ASR systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, butthis 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 themanufacturer'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.
Illumination of this warnin
g lamp in the
instrument panel and the lamp in the
"ESP OFF"button, accompanied b
y
an audible signal and a message in
the multifunction screen, this indicates
a malfunction of these systems.
Have it checked b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

161Safety
Lateral airbags
System which protects the driver and frontpassenger in the event of a serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airba
g is fitted in the seat backrestframe, door side.
Deployment
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

The lateral airba
gs are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or par t of the side impact zone
B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on ahorizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.

Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and passengers (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
The cur tain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or par t of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The cur tain airbag inflates between the front or rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.


Operating fault

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 deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, the airbag is not deployed. I
f this warning lamp comes on in theinstrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in
the screen, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system checked.The airbags may no longer be deployed in theevent of a serious impact.

177Driving








Gear effi ciency indicator System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is only active in Manual mode.

Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one
(or more) gear(s). You can follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations mustnot be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors whenchoosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
- The s
ystem may suggest that you engage a
higher gear.
The in
formation appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow can be accompanied by the recommendedgear.


The system adapts its gear change recommendation according to thedriving conditions (slope, load, ...) and the demands of the driver (power,acceleration, braking, ...). The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.
Example:
- You are in third
gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal.
