Different modes
are
available:
Normal (ESC)
ESC OFF Snow
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 of
f
or
at
low
speed.
Above
30
mph
(50
km/h)
the system returns to DSC mode

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 vehicles.
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
(ASR, DSC) 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.
After 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 CITROËN 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
milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via
openings provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do 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 "Other 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.
Do 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.

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
