Activation/deactivation
This control, located on the 
control panel at the right-hand 
end of the dashboard, enables 
you to activate/deactivate the 
operation of the rear controls from the 
driver's seat.
The first press activates (LED on).
A second press deactivates (LED off). To deactivate the blower, place the control in 
position 0.
However, a safety device will ventilate the 
rear circuit automatically, even if the control 
is in position 0, to prevent the formation of 
condensation.

Switching off
This system cannot be deactivated by 
the
  driver.
dynamic stability control   
( d S c )
The electronic stability programme 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.
With the DSC system, maintain course 
without trying to countersteer.
Operation
The DSC system is activated automatically 
each time the vehicle is started. Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and confirmed by a message 
in the instrument panel screen, 
indicates a fault with the DSC system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop. Operation
This system is activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem of adhesion or 
trajectory, this system comes into play.
Switching off
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle 
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, 
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to 
deactivate the ASR system, so that the 
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.
-
 
Press this button, located in the
  
middle of the dashboard, to deactivate 
the
  system.
Anti-slip regulation (ASr)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction 
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel 
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving 
wheels and the engine.
If the button's warning lamp comes 
on, accompanied by a message in the 
instrument panel screen, this indicates that 
the ASR system is deactivated.
It comes into operation in the 
event of a grip or trajectory 
problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning 
lamp in the instrument panel.

Intelligent traction c ontrol
System to improve traction on slippery

This system checks for situations of difficult 
surface adhesion that could make it difficult 
to move off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent 
t
raction
  
c
ontrol takes over from the AS r  system, 
by transferring drive to the wheel with the 
best grip on the ground to provide the best 
traction and trajectory control. Switching on
On starting the vehicle, this system is 
deactivated.
Press this button, located in the middle of 
the dashboard, to activate the system; the 
indicator lamp in the button comes on.
This system is active up to about 18 mph 
(30 km/h).
Once the speed exceed 18 mph (30 km/h), 
the system is deactivated automatically, but 
the indicator lamp in the button stays on.
The system is reactivated automatically as 
soon as the speed drops below 18 mph 
 
(30 km/h). Switching off
Press this button, located in the middle of 
the dashboard, to deactivate the system; 
 
the indicator lamp in the button goes off and 
the  AS r  system is active again.
Operating fault If a fault occurs with the intelligent 
traction control system, this

Hill descent control
System that provides assistance when 
descending on surfaces with poor grip (mud, 
gravel...) or on a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss 
of control of the vehicle while descending a 
hill.
It keeps the vehicle at a steady speed during 
a descent by acting independently and with 
varying force on each of the brakes.Switching off
Press this button, located in the middle of the 
dashboard, to deactivate the system; the indicator 
lamp in the button goes off.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), the system is completely 
deactivated; the indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the hill 
descent control system, this 
warning lamp comes on.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, the system is 
deactivated.
With the speed below 18 mph (30 km/h) 
press this button, located in the middle of 
the dashboard, to activate the system; the 
indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Once the vehicle starts its descent, you can 
release the accelerator and brake pedals; 
the indicator lamp in the button flashes.
The brake lamps come on automatically 
when the system is brought into operation.
If the speed of the vehicle exceeds 18
 
mph 
(30 km/h), the system is automatically 
deactivated, but the indicator lamp in the 
button stays on.
The system reactivates automatically as 
soon as the speed of the vehicle drops 
below 18 mph (30 km/h).
For the system to operate, the slope 
must be steeper than 8%.
Do not use the system with the gearbox in 
neutral.
Engage an appropriate gear for the speed of 
the vehicle, to avoid the engine stalling.
You can press the accelerator or brake 
pedal at any time. The system may not be available if the 
brakes overheat. Wait a few minutes 
for them to cool down before trying again.

GEnErAL POI nt S   O n AI r BAGS
The airbags have been designed to optimise 
the safety of the occupants in the event of 
a serious collision; they work in conjunction 
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic 
detectors record and analyse any abrupt 
deceleration of the vehicle:
-
 
in the event of a serious collision, the
  
airbags are deployed instantly and 
contribute towards better protection of 
occupants of the vehicle; immediately 
after the impact, the airbags rapidly 
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or 
the possible exit by the occupants,
-
 
in the event of a less serious impact,
  
an impact to the rear and in certain 
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not  deployed; the seat belts alone contribute 
towards providing protection in these 
situations.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is 
switched on.Front airbags
These are fitted in the centre of the steering 
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for 
the front passengers. They are deployed, 
except the passenger's airbag if it has been 
deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is 
accompanied by a slight discharge 
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the 
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included 
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but may be an 
irritant to sensitive persons.
The noise of the detonation may result in a 
slight loss of hearing for a short time. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, 
contact a CITROËN dealer to 
have the system checked.
