DSC/ASR
The DSC and ASR systems offer increased
safety in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep the DSC and ASR systems
activated in all conditions, and particularly
in difficult conditions.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations regarding
as much the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components as the
assembly and repair procedures used by
CITROËN dealers.To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry
conditions, the vehicle must be fitted with
four snow tyres, allowing the the vehicle to
retain neutral behaviour on the road.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of a violent collision. The airbags
supplement the action of the force-limiting seat
belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards best protecting the occupants of
the vehicle (with the exception of the rear
centre passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that
they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards your protection in
these situations.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during
the same or a subsequent accident),
the deployment of airbag will not be
triggered again. Deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a slight emission
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 slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation related to
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

Changing a fuse
The 2 fuseboxes are located below the dashboard and under the bonnet.
Replacing a fuse
Before replacing a fuse, you must:
- a scertain the cause of the fault and have it
remedied,
-

s
witch off all electrical consumers,
-

p
ark the vehicle and switch off the ignition,
-

i
dentify the failed fuse using the allocation
tables and diagrams presented on the
following pages. Good
Failed
Tw e e z e r 1
If the fault recurs soon after replacing the
fuse, have the electrical system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. When replacing a fuse, it is essential to:
-
u
se the special tweezer 1 , located on
the cover close to the fusebox, to extract
the fuse from its housing and check the
condition of its filament,
-

a
lways replace a failed fuse with one of
equivalent rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause a malfunction
(risk of fire). The replacement of a fuse not
mentioned in the tables below may
cause a serious malfunction on your
vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.CITR

will not accept any responsibility
for the costs incurred in repairing
your vehicle or for the malfunctions
resulting from the installation of auxiliary
accessories which were not supplied
or recommended by CITROËN and
which were not installed in accordance
with its instructions, in particular where
the current consumption of all the the
additional equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamps.Installation of electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your
vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer or a

give additional protection) located
in the fuseboxes, must be left to a

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer
and winter.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
is essential when replacing or disconnecting
the battery. Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Oil filter
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the replacement interval for this
component.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection. Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.

Particle filter system
(Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic converter,
this filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by trapping unburnt
pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are
thus no longer emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very low
speeds, you may occasionally notice water
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no consequence to the
running of the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of blockage, a message
appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal and
illumination of the service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle filter
is approaching saturation (in conditions
of urban driving of exceptionally long
duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.)
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to
drive as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions permit, at a speed of 40 mph
(around 60 km/h) or more for at least
five minutes (until the alert message
disappears).
If this alert persists, contact a CITR
oËn


dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the level checking interval for this
component.

EMERGENCY OR ASSIST ANCE CALL
CITROËN Localised Emergency Call
In an emergency, press this button for more than
2 seconds. Flashing of the green LED and a voice
message confirm that the call has been made to the
CITROËN Localised Emergency Call centre*.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels the call. The green LED
goes off.
Pressing this button (at any time) for more than 8 seconds cancels the
call.
CITROËN Localised Assistance Call
When the ignition is switched on, the green
LED comes on for 3 seconds indicating
that the system is operating correctly.
If the orange LED flashes: there is a
system fault.
If the orange LED is on continuously: the
backup battery must be replaced.
In either case, contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels the request.
The cancellation is confirmed by a voice message.
Press this button for more than 2 seconds to request
assistance if the vehicle breaks down.
A voice message confirms that the call has been made*.
Operation of the system
The green LED remains on (without flashing) when communication is
established. It goes off at the end of communication.
This call is dealt with by the CITROËN Localised Emergency Call centre
which receives locating information from the vehicle and can send a
detailed alert to the appropriate emergency services. In countries in
which the team is not operational, or when the locating service has
been expressly declined, the call is dealt with directly by the emergency
services (112) without the vehicle location.
If an impact is detected by the airbag control unit, and
independently of the deployment of any airbags, an emergency
call is made automatically.
