This system cannot be deactivated by
the
driver.
dynamic stability control
( d S c )
The electronic stability programme acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory
required by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
With the DSC system, maintain course
without trying to countersteer.
Operation
The DSC system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started. Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and confirmed by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
indicates a fault with the DSC system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Operation
This system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem of adhesion or
trajectory, this system comes into play.
Switching off
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow,
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to
deactivate the ASR system, so that the
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.
-
Press this button, located in the
middle of the dashboard, to deactivate
the
system.
Anti-slip regulation (ASr)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.
If the button's warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, this indicates that
the ASR system is deactivated.
It comes into operation in the
event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning
lamp in the instrument panel.

surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...)
This system checks for situations of difficult
surface adhesion that could make it difficult
to move off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent
t
raction
c
ontrol takes over from the AS r system,
by transferring drive to the wheel with the
best grip on the ground to provide the best
traction and trajectory control. Switching on
On starting the vehicle, this system is

Press this button, located in the middle of
the dashboard, to activate the system; the
indicator lamp in the button comes on.
This system is active up to about 18 mph
(30 km/h).
Once the speed exceed 18 mph (30 km/h),
the system is deactivated automatically, but
the indicator lamp in the button stays on.
The system is reactivated automatically as
soon as the speed drops below 18 mph
(30 km/h). Switching off
Press this button, located in the middle of
the dashboard, to deactivate the system;
the indicator lamp in the button goes off and
the AS r system is active again.

Hill descent control
System that provides assistance when
descending on surfaces with poor grip (mud,
gravel...) or on a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss
of control of the vehicle while descending a
hill.
It keeps the vehicle at a steady speed during
a descent by acting independently and with
varying force on each of the brakes.Switching off
Press this button, located in the middle of the
dashboard, to deactivate the system; the indicator
lamp in the button goes off.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), the system is completely
deactivated; the indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the hill
descent control system, this
warning lamp comes on.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
With the speed below 18 mph (30 km/h)
press this button, located in the middle of
the dashboard, to activate the system; the
indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Once the vehicle starts its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals;
the indicator lamp in the button flashes.
The brake lamps come on automatically
when the system is brought into operation.
If the speed of the vehicle exceeds 18
mph
(30 km/h), the system is automatically
deactivated, but the indicator lamp in the
button stays on.
The system reactivates automatically as
soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 18 mph (30 km/h).
For the system to operate, the slope
must be steeper than 8%.
Do not use the system with the gearbox in
neutral.
Engage an appropriate gear for the speed of
the vehicle, to avoid the engine stalling.
You can press the accelerator or brake
pedal at any time. The system may not be available if the
brakes overheat. Wait a few minutes
for them to cool down before trying again.

GEnErAL POI nt S O n AI r BAGS
The airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
-
in the event of a serious collision, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,
-
in the event of a less serious impact,
an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.Front airbags
These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for
the front passengers. They are deployed,
except the passenger's airbag if it has been
deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.
