Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking  
a

nd   contributes   towards   improved   control   in  
c

orners,   in   particular   on   poor   or   slippery   road  
su

rfaces.
The
  ABS   prevents   wheel   lock   in   the   event   of  
em

ergency
 b
raking.
The
  electronic   brake   force   distribution   system  
m

anages   the   braking   pressure   wheel   by   wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly   and   therefore   reduce   the   stopping  
di

stance.
It
  is   triggered   according   to   the   speed   at   which  
t

he   brake   pedal   is   pressed.   This   is   felt   by   a  
r

eduction   in   the   resistance   of   the   pedal   and   an  
i

ncrease   in   the   effectiveness   of   the   braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control)   optimises   traction   in   order   to   limit  
w

heel   slip   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the   driving  
w

heels   and   on   the   engine.   It   also   improves  
t

he   directional   stability   of   the   vehicle   on  
a

cceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed   by   the   vehicle   and   that   required   by  
t

he   driver,   the   DSC   monitors   each   wheel   and  
a

utomatically   acts   on   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
w

heels   and   on   the   engine   to   return   the   vehicle  
t

o   the   required   path,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws  
o

f   physics.

Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled   with   the   STOP w arning lam p, a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal   and   a
 m

essage,   it   indicates   that   there   is   a   fault
 w

ith   the   electronic   brake   force   distribution
 (

EBFD),   which   could   cause   loss   of   control
 o

f   the   vehicle   when   braking.
Operation
When this warning lamp comes on, accompanied   by   an   audible   signal  
a

nd   a   message,   it   indicates   that   there  
i

s   a   fault   with   the   ABS,   which   could  
c

ause loss of control of the vehicle
when
 b

raking. Depending
  on   version,   your   vehicle   has   a  
s

ystem   to   help   driving   on   snow:   intelligent
traction control .
This   system   detects   situations   of   difficult  s
ur face   adhesion   that   could   make   it   difficult   to  
m

ove   off   or   make   progress   on   deep   fresh   snow  
o

r   compacted   snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control
 

limits   the   amount   of   wheel   slip   to  
p

rovide   the   best   traction   and   trajectory   control  
f

or   your   vehicle.
The
  use   of   snow   tyres   is   strongly  
r

ecommended   on   sur faces   offering   low   levels  
o

f   adhesion.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)When changing w heels  ( tyres  a nd  r ims),  m
ake   sure   that   these   are   approved   for  
y

our   vehicle.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make  
i

tself   felt   by   slight   vibrations   of   the   brake  
ped

al.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In
 
both
 
cases,
 
contact
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)Activation
These systems are activated automatically each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
As
  soon   as   they   detect   a   problem   of   grip   or  
t

rajectory,   these   systems   act   on   the   operation   if  
t

he   engine   and   brakes.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which   is   bogged   down,   stuck   in   snow,   on   soft  
g

round...),   it   may   be   advisable   to   deactivate  
t

he   DSC   and   ASR,   so   that   the   wheels   can   turn  
f

reely   and   regain   grip.
This
 
is
 
indicated
 
by
 
flashing
 
of
 
this
 
w

arning
 
lamp
 
in
 
the
 
instrument
 
panel. Reactivate
  the   systems   as   soon   as   the   level   of  
g

rip   permits. F
 
P
ress   this   button.
This
  indicator   lamp   and   the   indicator  
l

amp   in   the   button   come   on.
The
  DSC   and   ASR   systems   no   longer   act  
o

n   the   operation   of   the   engine   and   on   the  
b

rakes   in   the   event   of   a   involuntary   change   of  
t

rajectory.
DSC/ASR
The DSC and ASR systems offer increased s afety   in   normal   driving,   but   they   should   not  
e

ncourage   the   driver   to   take   extra   risks   or   drive  
a

t   high   speed.
It
  is   in   conditions   of   reduced   grip   (rain,   snow,  
i

ce)   that   the   risk   of   loss   of   grip   increases.  
I

t   is   therefore   important   for   your   safety   to  
k

eep   the   DSC   and   ASR   systems   activated  
i

n   all   conditions,   and   particularly   in   difficult  
c

onditions. The
  correct   operation   of   these   systems  
d

epends   on   observation   of   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations   regarding   as   much   the  
w

heels   (tyres   and   rims),   braking   and   electronic  
c

omponents   as   the   assembly   and   repair  
p

rocedures   used   by   CITROËN   dealers.
To   benefit   in   full   from   the   effectiveness   of   the  
D

SC   and   ASR   systems   in   wintry   conditions,  
t

he   vehicle   must   be   fitted   with   four   snow  
t

yres,   allowing   the   the   vehicle   to   retain   neutral  
b

ehaviour   on   the   road.

When the ignition is on, this warning lamp   comes   in   the   instrument

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the p assenger's   front   airbag   if   it   is   deactivated,   in  
t

he   event   of   a   serious   front   impact   to   all   or   part  
o

The
  front   airbag   inflates   between   the   thorax  
a

Do
  not   allow   anything   to   come   between  
t

he   occupants   and   the   airbags   (a   child,   pet,  
o

bject...),   do   not   attach   or   fix   anything   near  
t

o   the   airbags   or   their   trajectories   when  
i

nflating   as   this   could   cause   injuries   when  
t

he   airbags   are   deployed.
Never
  modify   the   original   definition   of   your  
v

a

round   the   airbags.
After
  an   accident   or   if   the   vehicle   has   been  
s

tolen   or   broken   into,   have   the   airbag  
s

All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   must   be  
c

arried   out   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

b

urns   to   the   head,   chest   or   arms   when   an  
a

Do
  not   fit   or   attach   anything   to   the   steering  
w

heel   or   dashboard,   this   could   cause  
i

njuries   with   deployment   of   the   airbags.
Guidelines to follow: Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible   with   the   deployment   the   lateral  
a

irbags.   For   information   on   the   range   of   seat  
c

overs suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact
  a   CITROËN   dealer.
Refer
  to   the   "Accessories"   section.
Do
  not   fix   or   attach   anything   to   the   seat  
b

acks   (clothing...).   This   could   cause   injury  
t

o   the   chest   or   arms   if   the   lateral   airbag   is  
d

eployed.
Do
  not   sit   with   the   upper   part   of   the   body   any  
n

earer   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  
a

irbag   is   deployed.
If
  fitted   on   your   vehicle,   do   not   remove   the  
g

a

  part   in   securing   the   curtain   airbags.
