Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to   obtain   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly,   thus   reducing   the   stopping   distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal   is   pressed.
The
  effect   of   this   is   a   reduction   in   the  
r

esistance   of   the   pedal   and   an   increase   in  
b

raking
 e
fficiency.
When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
f

irmly   without   releasing   the   pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (
d
SC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control)   optimises   traction   to   prevent   skidding  
o

f   the   wheels,   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the  
d

riving   wheels   and   on   the   engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake
  of   one   or   more   wheels   and   on   the   engine  
t

o   keep   the   vehicle   on   the   trajectory   required  
b

y   the   driver,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws   of  
p

hysics.Activation
These systems are activated automatically each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
They
  come   into   operation   in   the   event   of   a   grip  
o

r
 t
rajectory
 pro
blem.
This
  is   indicated   by   flashing   of   this  
w

arning   lamp   in   the   instrument   panel.
Safety

deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:
F

w
ith the ignition off ,

F

t
urn it to the "OFF" position,
F
 
t
hen,   remove   the   key   keeping   the   switch   in  
t

he   new   position.
This
  warning   lamp   comes   on   in   the  
i

nstrument   panel   when   the   ignition  
i

s   on   and   until   the   airbag   is   re-
activated. To
  assure   the   safety   of   your   child,  
t

he   passenger's   front   airbag   must   be  
d

eactivated   when   you   install   a   rear ward  
f

acing   child   seat   on   the   front   passenger  
sea

t.
Other wise,   the   child   would   risk   being  
s

eriously   injured   or   killed   if   the   airbag  
w

ere   deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove a child seat that has been f
itted   rear ward   facing,   turn   switch   to   the  
"On" p

osition   to   re-activate   the   airbag   and   so  
a

ssure   the   safety   of   your   front   passenger   in   the  
e

vent   of   an   impact.

If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument   panel,   you   must   contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   qualified  
w

orkshop   to   have   the   system  
c

hecked.   The   airbags   may   no   longer

im

pact.

Curtain airbags
System which contributes towards improving the   protection   of   the   driver   and   passengers  
(

with   the   exception   of   the   rear   centre  
p

assenger)   in   the   event   of   a   serious   side  
i

mpact   in   order   to   limit   the   risk   of   injury   to   the  
s

ide   of   the   head.
Each
  curtain   airbag   is   built   into   the   pillars   and  
t

he   upper   passenger   compartment   area.
deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same time   as   the   corresponding   lateral   airbag   in   the  
e

vent   of   a   serious   side   impact   applied   to   all   or  
p

art   of   the   side   impact   zone   B,   perpendicular  
t

o   the   longitudinal   centreline   of   the   vehicle   on   a  
h

orizontal   plane   and   directed   from   the   outside  
t

owards   the   inside   of   the   vehicle.
The
  curtain   airbag   inflates   between   the   front   or  
r

ear   occupant   of   the   vehicle   and   the   windows.
Operating fault
In the event of a minor impact or bump on   the   side   of   the   vehicle   or   if   the  
v

ehicle   rolls   over,   the   airbag   may   not   be  
d

eployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
the
  airbag   is   not   deployed.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument   panel,   accompanied   by   an a

udible   signal   and   a   message   in   the
 s

creen,   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a
 q

ualified   workshop   to   have   the   system
 c

hecked.   The   airbags   may   no   longer   be
 d

eployed   in   the   event   of   a   serious   impact.

Fuel tankFuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (diesel);
(dep ending on version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or di esel)).
Low fuel level
Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   be   used   depending   on  
y

our
 eng
ine.
Additions
  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   7   litres,   in  
o

rder   to   be   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.The
  key   cannot   be   removed   from   the  
l

ock   until   the   cap   is   refitted.
Opening
  the   filler   cap   may   create   a  
n

oise   caused   by   an   inrush   of   air.   This  
v

acuum   is   entirely   normal,   resulting  
f

rom   the   sealing   of   the   fuel   system.
To
  fill   the   tank   safely:
F t he engine must be switched off,
F o pen the fuel filler flap,
F
 
i
nsert   the   key   in   the   cap,   then   turn   it   to  
t

he

left,F
 
r
emove   the   cap   and   hook   it   onto   the   clip  l
ocated   on   the   inside   of   the   flap,
F  f ill   the   tank,   but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ;
  this   could   cause  
m

alfunctions.
When
  you   have   filled   the   tank:
F
 
p
ut   the   cap   back   in   place,
F
 
t
urn   the   key   to   the   right,   then   remove   it  
f

rom   the   cap,
F
 
c
lose   the   flap.
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached   this   warning   lamp   comes   on o

n   the   instrument   panel.   When   it   first
 c

omes   on   there   remains   approximately
5 litres
  of   fuel   in   the   tank.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system  in   STOP   mode;   you   must   switch  
o

ff   the   ignition   with   the   key.
You
 
must   refuel   as   soon   as   possible   to   avoid  
r

unning   out   of   fuel.
If
 
you
 
run   out   of   fuel   (Diesel),   refer   also   to   the  
"
