Safety
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).























Braking assistance systems


Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.

Activation

The anti-lock braking system is active if the
vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h).
It is deactivated when the vehicle speed falls
below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.

Operating fault

When the vehicle is stationary

If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
the indication on the instrument panel screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
The vehicle retains normal braking.
Drive carefully at moderate speed and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on
(ON position). If it does not switch off or
does not come on, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Safety





The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size. The seat belt
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling firmly on the strap and
releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- be tightened as close to the body as
possible,

- be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,

- be used to restrain only one person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

- not be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its per formance.


In the event of an impact


Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact
, the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle,
go to a qualified workshop with the skills
and equipment needed, which a CITROËN
dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
