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
d SC 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 DSC
system
automatically acts on the
engine
and the brake of one or more
wheels,
in order to put the vehicle back
on
course.
deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or
snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the a
SR and
DSC
systems to make the wheels spin
and
regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC 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
are observed.
After
an impact, have these systems
checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the a SR or
DSC
is triggered.
t
hey engage again:
-
automatically
above 30 mph
(50
km/h), When
a malfunction of the systems
occurs, the warning
lamp
and the LED come on,
accompanied
by an audible
signal
and a message in the
screen.
-
Press the button or turn
the dial to the
d SC o FF
position (depending on
model).
-
The
LED comes on: the
ASR
and
DSC
systems no longer come into
play
. -
manually
by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending
on model).Contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The
warning lamp may also come on if
the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure
of each tyre.

This dSc mode is calibrated for a low level of skidding,
based on dif
ferent conditions
of grip encountered on the
road.
When the ignition is switched off,
the
system returns automatically to
DSC
mode. This
d S c OFF mode is
only
suitable for specific
conditions encountered
when
moving off or at low
speed.
Above
30
mph (50 km/h) the system
returns
to
DSC mode automatically. This
snow mode allows the vehicle to adapts its strategy
to the conditions of grip
encountered for each of the
two
front wheels, on moving
of
f.
When
moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.This
off-road mode (mud,
wet
grass...) allows, when
moving
off, considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing
of the mud and regain "grip".
At
the same time, the wheel with the
most
grip is controlled in such a way as
to
transmit as much torque as possible.
When
moving, the system optimises
wheelspin
to meet the driver's
requirements
as fully as possible.This sand
mode allows a little wheelspin on the two
driving
wheels at the same
time
to allow the vehicle to
move
forward and reduces
the
risk of getting stuck in the sand.
Do
not use the other modes on sand
as
the vehicle may become stuck.

Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
d
o not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet,
object...).
This
could hinder the
operation
of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
a
fter an accident or if the vehicle has
been
stolen or broken into, have the
airbag
systems checked.
All
work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualified
personnel at a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned
are observed, a risk of
injury
or of minor burns to the head,
chest
or arms when an airbag is
deployed
cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the
bag inflates almost instantly (within
a
few milliseconds) then deflates within
the
same time discharging the hot gas
via
openings provided for this purpose.Lateral airbags
Only
put recommended covers on
the
seats.
These
will not hinder
inflation
of the lateral airbags. Contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do
not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs.
This
could cause injury to the
chest
or arms when the lateral airbag
inflates.
d
o not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
d
o not drive holding the steering wheel
by
its spokes or resting your hands on
the
centre part of the wheel.
d
o not allow passengers to place
their
feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious
injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke
as little as possible 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.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This
equipment
only
operates
once.
If
a
second
impact
occurs
(during
the
same
or
a
subsequent
accident),
the
airbag
will
not
operate.
The
deployment
of
an
airbag
or
airbags
is
accompanied
by
a
slight
discharge
of
smoke
and
a
noise,
due
to
the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated
in
the
system.
This
smoke
is
not
harmful,
but
sensitive
individuals
may
experience
some
irritation.
The
noise
of
the
detonation
may
result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. The
passenger's
front
airbag
must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed
facing
rearward.

Front airbags
The front airbags are fitted in the centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger.
d
eployment
They are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious
front
impact applied to all or part of the
front
impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane
directed from the front towards
the
rear of the vehicle.
The
front airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
d
eactivationo
nly the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
-
with the ignition switched off
,
insert
the key into the passenger's
front airbag deactivation switch,
-
turn it to the of
f "OFF" position,
-
then
remove the key, keeping the
switch
in the new position.
The passenger's front
airbag
warning lamp in the
instrument
panel is on while
the
airbag is deactivated.If
the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously
, do not install
a rear-facing child seat, contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Front airbag fault
T
o ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rear-facing child seat on the
front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child
would
risk
being
kille
d
or
seriously
injured
if the airbag were to inflate.
r
eactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger's
front airbag will not be deployed in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag switch to the
"O n "
position to re-activate the passenger's
front airbag and so ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an
audible
signal and a message
in the screen, contact a
CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop to have
the
system checked.
