AIRBAGS
System designed to contribute towards improving
the safety of the occupants
(with
the
exception
of
the
rear
centre
passenger)
in
the
event
of
violent
colli-
sions.
The
airbags
supplement
the
ac
-
tion
of
the
force-limiting
seat
belts
(with
the
exception
of
the
centre
rear
pas
-
senger).
If
a
collision
occurs,
the
electronic
de
-
tectors
record
and
analyse
the
front
and
side
impacts
sustained
in
the
im
-
pact
detection zones:
-
in
the
case
of
a
serious
impact,
the
airbags
are
deployed
instantly
and
contribute
towards
better
protection
of the occupants of the vehicle (with
the
exception
of
the
rear
centre
pas
-
senger);
immediately
after
the
im
-
pact,
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
certain
roll-over
conditions,
the
airbags
may
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.
A. Front impact zone.
B.
Side
impact zone.
Impact detection zones
Deployment
of
one
or
more
of
the
airbags
is
accompanied
by
a
slight
emission
of
smoke
and
a
noise,
due
to
the
activation
of
the
pyrotechnic
cartridge
incor
-
porated
in the system.
This
smoke
is
not
harmful,
but
sensitive
individuals
may
experi
-
ence
slight irritation.
The
noise
of
detonation
related
to
the
deployment
of
one
or
more
airbags
may
result
in
a
slight
loss
of
hearing
for
a
short
time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a seri -
ous
front
impact
in
order
to
limit
the
risk
of
injury to the head and thorax.
The
driver's
airbag
is
fitted
in
the
centre
of
the
steering
wheel;
the
front
passen
-
ger's
airbag
is
fitted
in
the
dashboard
above
the glove box.
Deployment
The
airbags
are
deployed,
except
the passenger's
front
airbag
if
it
is
deactivat
-
ed,
in
the
event
of
a
serious
front
impact to
all
or
part
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
tho
-
rax
and
head
of
the
front
occupant
of
the vehicle
and
the
steering
wheel,
driver's side,
and
the
dashboard,
passenger's side
to cushion their forward movement.
This
equipment
will
only
deploy
once.
If
a
second
impact
occurs
(during
the
same
or
a
subse
-
quent
accident),
the
airbag
will
not
be
deployed
again.

by
driving
at
a
speed
of
at
least
40

LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of cer -
tain functions according to the level of
charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily de -
activates certain functions, such as the
air
conditioning,
the
heated
rear
screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat -
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a
sufficient
level of charge in the battery.
After
the
engine
has
stopped,
you
can
still
use
functions
such
as
the
audio
equipment,
windscreen
wipers,
dipped
beam
headlamps,
courtesy
lamps,
etc.
for
a
maximum
combined
period
of
thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears
in the screen indicating that the vehicle
has
switched
to
economy
mode and
the
active
functions
are
put
on
standby
.
If the telephone is being used at the
same time on the navigation
system,
it
will
be
interrupted
after 10
minutes.
A
flat
battery
prevents
the
en
-
gine
from
starting
(refer
to
the
corresponding
paragraph).
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto -
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.
F
In
order
to
resume
the
use
of
these functions
immediately
,
start
the
engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The
time
available
to
you
will
then
be double
the
period
for
which
the
engine is left running. However , this period will
always be between five and thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly re -
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
CHANGING A WIPER BLADE

EMERGENCY OR ASSIST ANCE CALL
CITROËN Localised Emergency Call
In an emergency, press this button for more than 2 seconds.
Flashing of the green LED and a voice
message
confirm that the call has been made to the
C
ITR o Ë n Localised Emergency Call centre*.
Pressing
this
button again immediately cancels the call.
The
green LED
goes
off.
Pressing
this
button (at any time) for more than 8 seconds cancels the call.
CITROËN Localised Assistance Call
When the ignition is switched on, the green LED comes on for 3 seconds indicating that
the system is operating correctly.
If
the orange LED flashes: there is a
system
fault.
If
the orange LED is on continuously: the
backup
battery must be replaced.
In
either case, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Pressing
this
button
again
immediately cancels the request.
The
cancellation
is
confirmed
by
a voice message.
Press
this
button for more than 2 seconds to request
assistance
if
the
vehicle breaks down.
A
voice
message confirms that the call has been made*.
Operation of the system
The green LED remains on (without flashing) when communication is established.
It goes off at the end of communication.
This
call is dealt with by the
C
ITR o Ë n Localised Emergency Call centre
which
receives locating information from the vehicle and can send a
detailed
alert to the appropriate emergency services. In countries in
which
the team is not operational, or when the locating service has
been
expressly declined, the call is dealt with directly by the emergency
services
(112) without the vehicle location.
If
an impact is detected by the airbag control unit, and
independently
of the deployment of any airbags, an emergency call
is
made automatically.
*
These
services are subject to conditions and availability.
Consult
a CITROËN dealer. If
you purchased your vehicle outside the CITROËN dealer network,
we
invite you to have a dealer check the configuration of these services
and,
if desired, modified to suit your wishes. In a multi-lingual country,
configuration
is possible in the official national language of your choice.
For
technical reasons, particularly to improve the quality of
T
elematic
services
to customers, the manufacturer reserves the right to carry out
updates
to the vehicle's on-board telematic system.
