Comfort

157
The vehicle being followed may not be detected in   certain   conditions   such   as,   for   example:
-
 
w
hen   turning,
-
 w

hen
 c
hanging
 lan
e,
-
 
w
hen   the   vehicle   in   front   is   out   of   the   range  
o

f   the   sensor   (maximum   range:   around  
1

00 m).
Operating limits
In the event of a fault with the system, this   warning   lamp   is   displayed a

ccompanied   by   a   message.
Operating fault
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
At
  the   first   use   of   the   system   after  
r

epair,   a   message   may   be   displayed  
i

ndicating   that   the   system   is   initialising.  
T

he   system   is   not   available   while   this   is  
i

n   progress.   As   soon   as   the   message  
d

isappears   the   system   is   operational  
a

gain.   If   the   message   does   not  
d

isappear,   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o

r   a   qualified   workshop. The
  operation   of   the   radar,   located   in  
t

he   front   bumper,   may   be   disturbed   by  
a

ccumulations   of   grime   (dust,   mud...)  o
r   in   certain   weather   conditions   (snow,  i
ce...).
The
  message   "SYSTEM   INACTIVE:  
V

isibility   reduced"   is   displayed   to   signal  
t

hat   the   system   has   been   put   into  
s

t a n dby.
Clean
  the   front   bumper   regularly.

Driving

215
Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres,   once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel   speed   sensors   with   reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d

etects   a   drop   in   the   inflation   pressure   of   one  
o

r   more   tyres. The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   replace   the   vigilance   or   the  
r

esponsibility   of   the   driver.
This
  system   does   not   avoid   the   need   to  
c

heck   the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare   wheel)   every   month   as   well   as  
b

efore   a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd   causes   premature   tyre   wear,  
p

articularly   under   arduous   condition  
(

high   loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The   inflation   pressures   defined   for  
y

our   vehicle   can   be   found   on   the   tyre  
p

ressure   label.
See
  the   "Identification   markings"  
s

ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   are   "cold"   (vehicle  
s

topped   for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.

Safety

220
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)Activation
These systems are activated automatically each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
As
  soon   as   they   detect   a   problem   of   grip   or  
t

rajectory,   these   systems   act   on   the   operation   if  
t

he   engine   and   brakes.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which   is   bogged   down,   stuck   in   snow,   on   soft  
g

round...),   it   may   be   advisable   to   deactivate  
t

he   DSC   and   ASR,   so   that   the   wheels   can   turn  
f

reely   and   regain   grip.
This
 
is
 
indicated
 
by
 
flashing
 
of
 
this
 
w

arning
 
lamp
 
in
 
the
 
instrument
 
panel. Reactivate
  the   systems   as   soon   as   the   level   of  
g

rip   permits. F
 
P
ress   this   button.
This
  indicator   lamp   and   the   indicator  
l

amp   in   the   button   come   on.
The
  DSC   and   ASR   systems   no   longer   act  
o

n   the   operation   of   the   engine   and   on   the  
b

rakes   in   the   event   of   a   involuntary   change   of  
t

rajectory.
DSC/ASR
The DSC and ASR systems offer increased s afety   in   normal   driving,   but   they   should   not  
e

ncourage   the   driver   to   take   extra   risks   or   drive  
a

t   high   speed.
It
  is   in   conditions   of   reduced   grip   (rain,   snow,  
i

ce)   that   the   risk   of   loss   of   grip   increases.  
I

t   is   therefore   important   for   your   safety   to  
k

eep   the   DSC   and   ASR   systems   activated  
i

n   all   conditions,   and   particularly   in   difficult  
c

onditions. The
  correct   operation   of   these   systems  
d

epends   on   observation   of   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations   regarding   as   much   the  
w

heels   (tyres   and   rims),   braking   and   electronic  
c

omponents   as   the   assembly   and   repair  
p

rocedures   used   by   CITROËN   dealers.
To   benefit   in   full   from   the   effectiveness   of   the  
D

SC   and   ASR   systems   in   wintry   conditions,  
t

he   vehicle   must   be   fitted   with   four   snow  
t

yres,   allowing   the   the   vehicle   to   retain   neutral  
b

ehaviour   on   the   road.
Safety

227
Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving   the   safety   of   the   occupants   (with  
t

he   exception   of   the   rear   centre   passenger)  
i

n   the   event   of   violent   collisions.   The   airbags  
s

upplement   the   action   of   the   force-limiting  
s

eat   belts   (with   the   exception   of   the   centre   rear  
p

assenger).
If
  a   collision   occurs,   the   electronic   detectors  
r

ecord   and   analyse   the   front   and   side   impacts  
s

ustained   in   the   impact   detection   zones:
-
 
i
n   the   case   of   a   serious   impact,   the   airbags  
a

re   deployed   instantly   and   contribute  
t

owards   better   protection   of   the   occupants  
o

f   the   vehicle   (with   the   exception   of   the  
r

ear   centre   passenger);   immediately   after  
t

he   impact,   the   airbags   deflate   rapidly   so  
t

hat   they   do   not   hinder   visibility   or   the   exit  
o

f the occupants,
-
 
i
n   the   case   of   a   minor   or   rear   impact   or   in  
c

ertain   roll-over   conditions,   the   airbags  
m

ay   not   be   deployed;   the   seat   belt  
a

lone   contributes   towards   ensuring   your  
p

rotection   in   these   situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This
  equipment   will   only   deploy   once.  
I

f   a   second   impact   occurs   (during   the  
s

ame   or   a   subsequent   accident),   the  
a

irbag   will   not   be   deployed   again. Deployment
  of   one   or   more   of   the  
a

irbags   is   accompanied   by   a   slight  
e

mission   of   smoke   and   a   noise,   due  
t

o the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
  incorporated   in   the   system.
This
  smoke   is   not   harmful,   but   sensitive  
i

ndividuals   may   experience   slight  
ir

ritation.
The
  noise   of   detonation   related   to   the  
d

eployment   of   one   or   more   airbags   may  
r

esult   in   a   slight   loss   of   hearing   for   a  
s

hort   time.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.However, check that the terminals are clean and   correctly   tightened,   particularly   in   summer a

nd   winter.
Refer to the manufacturer's service   schedule   for   details   of   the  
r

eplacement   intervals   for   these

Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the e ngine   oil   is   changed.

Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular with
the   Stop   &   Start   system,   indicates   the   use   of  
a

  specific   12   V   lead-acid   battery   with   special  
t

echnology   and   specification.   The   involvement  
o

f   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop  
i

s   essential   when   replacing   or   disconnecting

Unless
  other wise   indicated,   check   these   components   in   accordance   with   the   manufacturer's   service   schedule   and   according   to   your   engine.
Other wise,   have   them   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Depending   on   the   environment   (e.g.   dusty  
a

tmosphere)   and   the   use   of   the   vehicle  
(e.g.   city   driving),   replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A   clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may
