Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the
DSC and ASR systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F
P
ress the button, located in the centre of
the dashboard.
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the indicator
lamp on the button comes on, this
indicates that the
d
S
C and a
S
R
systems are deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
F
P
ress the button again to reactivate them
manually.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the multifunction
screen, this indicates a malfunction
of these systems.
Trajectory control systems
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of
the wheels, by acting 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.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem. The
d
S
C/
aS
R systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding wheels (tyres and rims),
braking components, electronic
components and assembly and repair
procedures.
af
ter an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITR

of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
do n
ot 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 lateral airbags.
For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a
CITR
oËn
dealer.
Refer to the "
ac
cessories" section.

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 roof, they play a part
in securing the curtain airbags.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
af
ter an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITR
oËn
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. 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.
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
