In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,
mud, ...), if you are unable to move off, it may
be useful to temporarily deactivate these
systems so that the wheels can spin freely and
allow the vehicle to move.
If the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this
indicates that these systems are deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
F
P
ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
Operating fault
The trajectory control systems offer
increased safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems is assured provided that
manufacturer's recommendations are
observed on:
-
w
heels (tyres and rims),
-
b
raking components,
-
el
ectronic components,
-
a
ssembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The illumination of the indicator
lamps in the instrument panel and
in this button, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a fault with these
systems.
It is recommended that the systems be
reactivated as soon as possible. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

Airbags
General information
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the seat belts fitted
with force limiters (all except the centre rear
passenger belt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the exit
of the occupants,
-
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations. The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.

ide impact zone.Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission 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 slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.Impact detection zones

Energy economy modeSystem which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen
wipers, dipped beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of thirty
minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding
section.
If the telephone is being used at the
same time with the touch screen tablet,
it will be interrupted after 10 minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the
vehicle has switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven.
F
I
n order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thirty minutes.
Load reduction modeSystem which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

of blockage of the particle filter.
-
f
ixed illumination of the particle
filter warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message that there is a risk of
blockage of the particle filter,
or
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,

service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Versions equipped with Stop &
Start are fitted with a 12 V lead-acid
battery of specific technology and
specification.
Its replacement should be carried
out only by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
12 V battery
For more information and the precautions to
take before starting work on the 12 V batter y
,
refer to the corresponding section.
The battery does not require any maintenance.However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release terminals)
and that the connections are clean.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
