different modes are available:
Normal (ESC)
ESC OFFSnow
This mode allows the vehicle to adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front
wheels,
on moving off.
When
moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
Off road
(mud, wet grass, ...)
When moving off, this mode allows considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing
of the mud and
regain
"grip".
At
the
same time, the wheel with the
most
grip
is controlled in such a way as
to
transmit as much torque as possible.
When
moving, the system optimises
wheelspin
to meet the driver's
requirements
as fully as possible.
Sand
This mode allows a little wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to
allow
the vehicle to move
forward
and reduces the risk
of
getting stuck in the sand.
Do
not
use the other modes on sand
as
the
vehicle may become stuck.
This
mode
is
calibrated
for
a
low
level
of
skidding,
based
on dif
ferent conditions of grip
encountered
on
the
road.
When the ignition is switched off, the
system
returns
automatically
to
DSC
mode.
This
mode
is
only
suitable
for
specific
conditions
encountered
when
moving
off
or
at
low
speed.
Above

ACTIVE CITY BRAKE
Active City Brake is a driving assistance
system that aims to avoid
a frontal collision or reduce the speed
of
an impact if the driver does not
react
sufficiently (inadequate brake
application).
This
system is designed to
improve
driving safety.
It
remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously
monitor the state of the
traffic
and to assess the distances and
relative
speeds of other vehicle.
Active
City Brake can in no
circumstances
replace the need for
vigilance
on the part of the driver. Never
look at the laser sensor
through
an optical instrument
(magnifying
glass, microscope...)
at a distance of less than
10 centimetres:
risk of eye injury.Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top
of the windscreen, this system detects
a
vehicle running in the same direction
or
stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When
necessary, the vehicle's braking
system
is operated automatically
to avoid a collision with the vehicle
ahead.Automatic
braking occurs later
than if done by the driver
, so as
to intervene only when there is a
high
risk of collision.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following conditions are met:
●
ignition
on,
●
the
vehicle is in a forward gear,
●
speed
is between about 3 and
18 mph
(5 and 30 km/h),
●
the
braking assistance systems
(ABS,
EBFD, emergency braking
assistance) are not faulty
,
●
the
trajectory control systems
(
a SR, d SC) are not deactivated or
faulty,
●
the
vehicle is not in a tight corner,
●
the
system has not been triggered
during
the previous 10 seconds.

Recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or
shorter than one metre fifty,
-
never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened. For
more information on child
seats, refer to the "Children on
board"
section of chapter 5.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by CITR
o Ë n
dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITR
o Ë n dealer can
guarantee
all work or any checks, from
testing
to maintenance, on your seat
belt
equipment.
Have
the seat belts checked regularly
(even
after a minor impact) by a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
workshop:
they must not show any
signs of wear
, cutting or fraying
and
they must not be converted or
modified.
The
force
limiter
reduces
the
pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when
the
ignition
is
switched
on.
The
inertia
reels
are
fitted
with
a
device
which
automatically
locks
the
strap
in
the
event
of
a
collision
or
emergency
braking
or
if
the
vehicle
rolls
over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by
pressing
the
red
button
on
the
buckle.
Guide
the

pretensioners
are
deployed.
Contact a CITR
o
Ë
n
dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
In
order
to
be
effective,
a
seat
belt:
-
must
restrain
one
person
only,
-
must
not
be
twisted,
check
by
pullin
g in front of you with an even
movement,
-
must
be
tightened
as
close
to
the
body
as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should
be positioned in the hollow of the
shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low
as
possible
on
the
pelvis.

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
rearward
facing.

Front airbags
Deployment
They are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious
front impact applied to all or part of the
front
impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane
directed from the front towards
the
rear of the vehicle.
The
front airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement. Deactivating the passengers front
airbag
o
nly the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated.
-
W
ith the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger's front
airbag deactivation switch.
- T urn it to the "OFF" position.
-
Remove
the key keeping the switch
in
the new position.
The passenger's front airbag
warning
lamp
in
the
instrument panel
remains on while the
airbag
is deactivated.If
the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously
, do not install
a rearward facing child seat and
contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rearward facing child seat on
the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the
child would risk being killed or
seriously
injured if the airbag were
deployed.Reactivation
In the
"OFF" position, the passenger's
front airbag will not be deployed in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the passenger's front airbag switch
to the
"ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and thus ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
If this warning lamp comes
on,
accompanied by an
audible
signal and a message
in the screen, consult a
CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
The
front airbags are fitted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front
passenger.

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise,
you risk seriously damaging
your
engine.
When
the engine is warm, the
temperature
of the coolant is controlled
by
the engine fan.
As
this fan can
operate
with the ignition key removed
and
because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying
out any work.
Slacken
the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk
of scalding. When the pressure
has
dropped, remove the cap and top
up
the level with coolant.
If
fluid has to be added frequently,
this
indicates a fault which must be
checked
by a CITROËN dealer as
soon
as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check
the level which must be between
the
MIN and MAX marks. In
order to regenerate the filter, you are advised to drive at a speed higher
than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when
traffic
conditions permit (until the
message
disappears and the service
warning
lamp goes off).
d
uring regeneration of the particle
emission
filter, the noise of a relay
operating
may be heard under the
dashboard.
If
the message is still displayed and
if
the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Topping up
The
level
must
be
between
the
MIN
and
MAX
marks
on
the
expansion
bottle.
If
more
than
1
litre
of
fluid
is
required to top up the level, have the
system
checked
by
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For
optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing,
this fluid must not be topped
up
or replaced with plain water.
Capacity
of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately
3 litres.
If
your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is
6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
without delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake
fluid is harmful to health and
very
corrosive.
Do
not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITR
o Ë n dealer (France) or
an
authorised waste disposal site.
The
minimum
level
of
this
additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning
lamp,
accompanied
by
an
audible
signal
and
a
message
in
the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation
of
the
particle
filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving
conditions:
low
speed,
long
traffic
jams,
...).
