Warning / indicator lampStateCause Action / Observations
Passenger's
airbag system Fixed.
The control switch, located in
the glove box, is set to the " OFF"
position.
The passenger's front airbag is
deactivated.
You can install a "rearward facing"
child seat, unless there is a fault with
the airbags (airbag warning lamp on). To activate the passenger front airbag, turn the
control to the "
ON" position.
In this case, do not fit a child seat in the "rear ward
facing" position.
Dynamic
stability control
(DSC/ASR) Fixed.
The button, located at the bottom
left of the dashboard, is pressed. Its
indicator lamp is on.
The DSC/ASR is deactivated.
DSC: dynamic stability control.
ASR: anti-slip regulation. Press the button to activate the DSC/ASR. Its
indicator lamp goes off.
The DSC/ASR system is activated automatically when
the vehicle is started.
If the system is deactivated, it is reactivated
automatically once a speed of around 30
mph
(50
km/h) is reached.
Fixed. The button, located at the bottom
left of the dashboard, has not been
pressed.
Its indicator lamp is off.
The DSC/ASR system has a fault. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Flashing. The DSC/ASR regulation is
operating. The system optimises traction and improves the
directional stability of the vehicle in the event of loss
of grip or trajectory.
Power steering Fixed. The power steering has a fault. Drive carefully at reduced speed.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Instruments

60
If you purchased your vehicle outside the
Brand network, we invite you to check
the configuration of these ser vices and,
if desired, have a dealer change it to suit
your wishes. In a multilingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice.
For technical reasons and, in particular,
to improve the quality of the "telematic
services" services for customers, the
manufacturer reser ves the right to carry
out updates to the vehicle's on-board
communication system.Electronic stability control
(ESC)
A set of the following Electronic Stability
systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system optimises traction in order to
avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of
the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle
on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics. It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.

F Press the clutch pedal fully.As a safety precaution and to facilitate
starting the engine:
-

a
lways select neutral,
-

p
ress the clutch pedal.
Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle
is stationary with the engine at idle.
Automatic gearbox (EAT6)
Six-speed automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by sport and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
Two driving modes are available:
-

a
utomatic operation for electronic control
of the gears by the gearbox, with a spor t
programme for a more dynamic style of
driving and a snow programme to improve
driving when traction is poor,
-

man
ual operation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.
