TRAjECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
dynamic stability control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation  (also  known  as  traction
 control)  optimises  traction  to  
prevent

 
skidding
 
of
 
the
 
wheels,
 
by
 
act
-
ing
 
on
 
the
 
brakes
 
of
 
the
 
driving
 
wheels
 
and

  on   the   engine.
The electronic stability control 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
 
automati
-
cally
  each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
They
 
come
 
into
 
operation
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of

  a   grip   or   trajectory   problem.
This
 
is
 
indicated
 
by
 
flashing
 
of
 
this

 
warning
 
lamp
 
in
 
the

your

a

 
system

 
to

This
 
system

 
detects

 
situations

 
of

surface

 
adhesion

 
that

 
could

 
make

 
it

move

 
of

f
 
or

 
make

 
progress

 
on

 
deep

 
fresh
 
snow
 
or
 
compacted
 
snow.
In these situations, the intelligent trac-
tion control
 
limits

 
the

 
amount

 
of

 
wheel

 
slip

 
to

 
provide

 
the

 
best

 
traction

 
and

 

trajectory

 
control
 
for
 
your
 
vehicle.
The
 
use
 
of
 
snow

is
 
strong-
ly
 
recommended

 
on

 
surfaces

 
of

is
 
recommended
 
that
 
the

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.
SAFETY

C4-2_en_Chap08_securite_ed01-2014
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Sit  in   a   normal   upright   position.
Wear
 
a
 
correctly
 
adjusted
 
seat
 
belt.
Do

 
not
 
leave
 
anything
 
between
 
the

 
occupants
 
and
 
the
 
airbags
 
(a

 
child,
 
pet,
 
object...).
 
This
 
could
 
hamper

 
the
 
operation
 
of
 
the
 
air
-
bags
  or   injure   the   occupants.
After
 
an
 
accident
 
or
 
if
 
the
 
ve

hicle
 
has
 
been
 
stolen
 
or
 
broken
 
into,

 
have
 
the
 
airbag
 
systems
 
checked.
All

 
work
 
on
 
the
 
airbag
 
sys

must
 
be
 
carried
 
out
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN

 
dealer
 
or
 
a

wheel
 
by
 
its
 
spokes
 
or
 
resting
 
your
 
hands
 
on
 
the

  centre   part   of   the   wheel.
Passengers
  must   not   place   their   feet   on   the   dashboard.
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.
Do
 
not
 
fit
 
or
 
attach
 
anything
 
to
 
the
 
steering
 
wheel
 
or
 
dashboard,
 
this
 
could
 
cause
 
injuries

  with   deployment   of   the   airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use
 
only
 
approved
 
covers
 
on
 
the
 
seats,
 
compatible
 
with
 
the
 
deployment
 
the
 
lat
-
eral
 
airbags.
 
For
 
information
 
on
 
the
 
range
 
of
 
seat
 
covers
 
suitable
 
for
 
your
 
vehicle,
 
you

  can   contact   a   CITROËN dealer.
Refer
  to   the   "Accessories"   section.
Do
 
not
 
fix
 
or
 
attach
 
anything
 
to
 
the
 
seat
 
backs
 
(clothing...).
 
This
 
could
 
cause
 
injury

  to   the   chest   or   arms   if   the   lateral   airbag   is   deployed.
Do
 
not
 
sit
 
with
 
the
 
upper
 
part
 
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
 
curtain

  airbag   is   deployed.
If
 
fitted
 
on
 
your
 
vehicle,
 
do
 
not
 
remove
 
the
 
grab
 
handles
 
installed
 
on
 
the

A FEW DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the driving  regulations  at  all  times
 and  remain  vigilant  whatever  the  
traffic

  conditions.
Pay
 
close
 
attention
 
to
 
the
 
traffic
 
and
 
keep

 
your
 
hands
 
on
 
the
 
wheel
 
so
 
that
 
you

 
are
 
ready
 
to
 
react
 
at
 
any
 
time
 
to
 
any

  eventuality.
On
 
a
 
long
 
journey
,  
a
 
break
 
every
 
two hours

  is   strongly   recommended.
In

ticipate
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
brake
 
and
 
increase
 
the

  distance   from   other   vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise  against  driving  on  flooded
 roads,  as  this  could  cause  seri -
ous
 
damage
 
to
 
the
 
engine
 
or
 
gearbox,
 
as

 
well
 
as
 
to
 
the
 
electrical
 
systems
 
of
 
your

  vehicle.
Important!
Never drive  with  the  parking  brake
 applied  -  Risk  of  overheat -
ing
 
and
 
damage
 
to
 
the
 
braking
 
system!
Do

 
not
 
park
 
or
 
run
 
the
 
engine when

stationary in areas where
inflammable substances  and  ma -terials (dry grass,  dead  leaves...) might
 come  into  contact  with  the hot

 
exhaust
 
system 
-  
Risk
 
of
 
fire!
n

ever leave a vehicle unsuper-
vised
 
with
 
the
 
engine
 
running.
 
If
 
you have to leave your vehicle
with

 
the
 
engine
 
running,
 
apply
 
the

 
parking
 
brake
 
and
 
put
 
the

N
or P,  
depending
 
on
 
the

  of   gearbox.
If
 
you

 
are

 
obliged

 
to

 
drive

 
through

-

 
check

 
that

 
the

 
depth

 
of

does

 
not

 
exceed

 
15

taking

 
account

 
of

be

 
generated

 
by

 
other users,
-

 
deactivate

Stop
 
&

system,
-
 
drive

 
as

-
 
do

 
not

 
stop
