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

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.

Advice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear
a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do
not
allow
anything
to
come
between
the occupants and the airbags
(a
child, pet, object...), do not attach or
fix
anything near to the airbags or their
trajectories
when inflating as this could
cause
injuries when the airbags are
deployed.
Never
modify the original definition of
your vehicle, particularly in the area
directly
around the airbags.
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 must be
carried out by a CITR
o Ë n 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.
The
bag
inflates
almost instantly (within a few
millis
econds) then deflates within the
same
time discharging the hot gas via
openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
d
o not drive holding the steering wheel
by
its spokes or resting your hands on
the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers
must not place their feet
on
the dashboard.
Do
not smoke 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.
Do
not fit or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause
injuries with deployment of the
airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the
seats,
compatible with the deployment
the
lateral airbags. For information
on the range of seat covers suitable
for your vehicle, you can contact a
CITROËN dealer
.
For
more information on accessories,
refer to "
o ther accessories" in
section 6.
Do
not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs
(clothing...).
This
could cause
injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral
airbag
is deployed.
d
o not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
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
