Electronic Stability Control (ESC) incorporating the   following   systems:

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

nd   contribute   towards   better   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
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.
Traction control (TRC)
This system optimises traction in order to limit wheel   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   the  
d

river,   this   system   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.

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle   compromises   the   child's   protection   in  
t

he   event   of   an   accident.
Check
  that   there   is   no   seat   belt   or   seat   belt  
b

uckle   under   the   child   seat   as   this   could  
de

stabilise
 i
t.
Remember
  to   fasten   the   seat   belts   or   the  
c

hild   seat   harnesses   keeping the slack in
relation
  to   the   child's   body   to a minimum,
even
  for   short   journeys.
For
  the   installation   of   a   child   seat   using   a  
s

eat   belt,   ensure   that   this   is   well   tensioned  
o

n   the   child   seat   and   that   it   is   holding   the  
c

hild   seat   firmly   against   the   seat   of   your  
v

ehicle.   If   your   front   passenger   seat   is  
a

djustable,   move   it   for ward   if   necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
  between   the   front   seat   and:
-
 
a
  rear ward   facing   child   seat,
-
 
t
he   feet   of   a   child   seated   in   a   for ward  
f

acing   child   seat.
For
  this,   move   the   front   seat   for ward   and   if  
n

ecessary   straighten   its   backrest.
Recommendations on child seats
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned   on   the   child's   shoulder   without  
t

ouching   the   neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes
  correctly   over   the   child's   thighs.
CITROËN
  recommends   the   use   of   a   booster  
s

eat   which   has   a   back,   fitted   with   a   seat   belt  
g

uide   at   shoulder   level.
As
  a   safety   precaution,   never   leave:
-
 
o
ne   or   more   children   alone   and  
u

nsupervised   in   a   vehicle,
-
 
a
  child   or   an   animal   in   a   vehicle   which  
i

s   exposed   to   the   sun,   with   the   windows  
c

losed,
-
 
t
he   keys   within   reach   of   children   inside  
t

he   vehicle.
To
  prevent   accidental   opening   of   the   doors,  
u

se   the   "Child   lock".
Take
  care   not   to   open   the   rear   windows   by  
m

ore   than   one   third.
To
  protect   young   children   from   the   rays   of  
t

he   sun,   fit   side   blinds   on   the   rear   windows.
