ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement the ABS.
The
ASR
system is very useful for
maintaining
optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on
acceleration.
The
system optimises drive to prevent
the
wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes
of the drive wheels and on the
engine.
It also allows the directional
stability
of the vehicle to be improved
on
acceleration.
Use the
d SC to hold your course
without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory
followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver
, the d SC
system
automatically acts on the
engine
and the brake of one or more
wheels,
in order to put the vehicle back
on
course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or
snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the a
SR and
DSC
systems to make the wheels spin
and
regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased safety
during normal driving, but
should
not incite the driver to take risks
or
to drive at high speed.
The
operation of these systems is
ensured
if the recommendations
of
the manufacturer regarding
the
wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking
components, the electronic
components
and the fitting and repair
procedures
are observed.
After
an impact, have these systems
checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the a SR or
DSC
is triggered.
They engage again:
-
automatically
above 30 mph
(50
km/h), When
a malfunction of the systems
occurs, the warning
lamp
and the LED come on,
accompanied
by an audible
signal
and a message in the
screen.
-
Press the button or turn
the dial to the
d SC o FF
position (depending on
model).
-
The
LED comes on: the
ASR
and
DSC
systems no longer come into
play
. -
manually
by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending
on model).Contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The
warning lamp may also come on if
the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure
of each tyre.

their seat belt.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even
for short journeys.
The
seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel
which automatically adjusts the
length
of the strap to your size.
d
o not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips,
safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat
belt straps to fit loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly
after use.
After
folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle
is ready to accommodate the
tongue.
d
epending on the nature and
seriousness
of any impact, the
pretensioning
device may be deployed
before
and independently of inflation
of
the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
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.
The
front
passenger's
seat
may
be
fitted
with
a
presence
detector
,
in
which
case you should not place anything
heavy on this seat as this could trigger
the

AIRBAGS
General information
The airbags have been designed to
maximise 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, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the
front and side impacts suffered in the
impact detection zones:
-
in
the event of a serious impact,
the
airbags inflate instantly and
contribute towards better protecting
the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately
after the impact, the
airbags
deflate rapidly, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from
the vehicle.-
in
the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient
to contribute towards your
protection
in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment
of impact.

127
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
d
o not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet,
object...).
This
could hinder the
operation
of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
a
fter an accident or if the vehicle has
been
stolen or broken into, have the
airbag
systems checked.
All
work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualified
personnel at a CITROËN
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. In fact,
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.Lateral airbags
Only
put recommended covers on
the
seats.
These
will not hinder
inflation
of the lateral airbags. Contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do
not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs.
This
could cause injury to the
chest
or arms when the lateral airbag
inflates.
d
o not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
d
o not drive holding the steering wheel
by
its spokes or resting your hands on
the
centre part of the wheel.
d
o not allow passengers to place
their
feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious
injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke
as little as possible 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.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This
equipment
only
operates
once.
If
a
second
impact
occurs
(during
the
same
or
a
subsequent
accident),
the
airbag
will
not
operate.
The
deployment
of
an
airbag
or
airbags
is
accompanied
by
a
slight
discharge
of
smoke
and
a
noise,
due
to
the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated
in
the
system.
This
smoke
is
not
harmful,
but
sensitive
individuals
may
experience
some
irritation.
The
noise
of
the
detonation
may
result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. The
passenger's
front
airbag
must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed

event
of a serious side impact applied
to
all or part of the side impact zone B,
perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane
and directed from the outside
towards
the inside of the vehicle.
The
curtain airbag inflates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle
and
the windows.
Lateral airbags
This is a system which protects the driver and front passenger in the event
of a serious side impact in order to limit
the
risk of injury to the chest.
Each
lateral airbag is fitted in the front
seat
backrest frame, on the door side.
Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event
of
a serious side impact applied to
all
or part of the side impact zone B,
perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
