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

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

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.

Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even
for short journeys.
The
seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel
which automatically adjusts the
length
of the strap to your size.
d
o not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips,
safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat
belt straps to fit loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly
after use.
After
folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle
is ready to accommodate the
tongue.

seriousness
of any impact, the
pretensioning
device may be deployed

of the pretensioners is
accompanied
by a slight discharge
of

to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
incorporated in the system.

recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or
shorter than one metre fifty,
-
never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened. For
more information on child
seats, refer to the "Children on

regulations, your CITR
o Ë n dealer can
guarantee
all work or any checks, from
testing
to maintenance, on your seat
belt
equipment.
Have
the seat belts checked regularly
(even
after a minor impact) by a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
workshop:
they must not show any
signs of wear
, cutting or fraying
and
they must not be converted or
modified.
The
force
limiter
reduces
the
pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.

curtain airbags
This is a system which protects the driver and passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat of row 2)
in the event of a serious side impact in
order
to limit the risk of head injuries.
Each curtain airbag is incorporated in
the pillars and the upper part of the
passenger
compartment.
Activation
It
is triggered at the same time as the
corresponding lateral airbag in the
event
of a serious side impact applied
to
all or part 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
curtain airbag inflates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle
and
the windows.
Lateral airbags
This is a system which protects the driver and front passenger in the event
of a serious side impact in order to limit
the
risk of injury to the chest.
Each
lateral airbag is fitted in the front
seat
backrest frame, on the door side.
d
eployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event
of
a serious side impact applied to
all
or part 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
lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding
door trim panel.Impact detection zones

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,
