Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability programme (ESC) must
not have any faults.
Between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if
the system detects oscillations (snaking) in the
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow down the vehicle.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
To ensure complete safety while driving with
a Towbar system , refer to the corresponding
section.
Malfunction
Should a fault occur with the system,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal. The trailer stability assist system
offers increased safety in normal
driving conditions, provided that the
recommendations on towing a trailer are
obser ved. It must not encourage the driver
to take additional risks, such as towing
a trailer in adverse operating conditions
(overloading, failure to obser ve the trailer
nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres,
faulty braking system, etc.) or driving at
too high a speed.
In certain cases, the swaying of the trailer
may not be detected by the ESC system,
particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor sur faces,
the system may not be able to prevent
sudden swaying of the trailer.
Advanced Grip Control
Special patented traction control system which
improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during passenger vehicle use).
Operating modes
The correction is signalled by the
flashing of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel and illumination of
the brake lamps.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. Associated with all-seasons Peak Mountain
Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a
compromise between safety, grip and
driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on, accompanied by the display of a
message to confirm your choice.

Operating fault

this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by the display of a
message in the instrument panel.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a single
pyrotechnic pretensioning system (or double
on the driver's side, depending on equipment)
and force limiters (or progressive force
limiters on the driver's side, depending on
equipment).
This system improves safety in the front seats
in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
single pyrotechnic pretensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts against the
body of the occupants.
The double pyrotechnic pretensioning system
operates in identical fashion, except that it
combines two anchoring points instead of one,
thereby reinforcing its efficiency.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
Fastening
F Pull the strap then insert the tongue in the buckle.
F

C
heck that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.
F G uide the seat belt as it reels in.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
The progressive force limiter operates
in identical fashion, except that it takes
into account the build of the driver, thereby
optimising the reduction of the pressure of the
seat belt against the chest, following an impact.
Rear seat belts (row 2)
Outer seats
Depending on equipment, they may be fitted
with a single pretensioning system and force
limiters.
Be sure to put the correct seat belt in the
correct buckle.
Do not interchange the belts or buckles for the
outer seats with the belt or buckle for the centre
seat.
Centre seat
The seat belt does not have a pyrotechnic
pretensioning system and force limiters.

Front seat belt warning lamp(s)
On switching on the ignition, warning lamp
1 comes on in the instrument panel, and the
corresponding warning lamp (1 or 2) comes
on in red in the seat belt and front passenger
airbag warning lamp display if the driver's seat
belt and/or the passenger(s) seat belt is/are not
fastened or is/are unfastened.
Rear seat belt warning lamp(s)
The corresponding warning lamp ( 3 to 5)
comes on in red in the seat belt and front
passenger airbag warning lamp display if one
or more rear passengers (row 2) unfasten their
seat belt. Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stowed automatically when not
in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.
These seat belt warning lamps only apply
to row 2. Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-

b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-
b
e used to restrain only one person,
-
n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified
workshop with the skills and equipment
needed, which a CITROËN dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, particularly if the straps show
signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly.

The front passenger airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed.
"Forward facing"
The front passenger airbag must be
activated.
Deactivating the front
passenger airbag
Never install a "rear ward facing" child
restraint system on a seat protected by an
active front airbag.
This could cause the death of the child or
serious injury. The warning label present on both sides of the
passenger sun visor repeats this instruction.
In line with current legislation, this warning
is available in the following table in all of the
languages required.

Safety

108
To ensure the safety of your child, the front
passenger airbag must be deactivated
when you install a "rear ward facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed.
Reactivating the front
passenger airbag
When you remove the child seat, with the
ignition off, turn the switch to the ON position
to reactivate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger(s) in the event of
an impact.
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt warning display screen for
approximately one minute to signal
that the front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp in the instrument
panel comes on, you must contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.

order to be able to start the engine.
If one of the starting conditions is not met,
a message appears in the instrument
panel. In some cases, it is necessary to

which would weigh down on its blade
in the ignition switch and could cause a
malfunction.

When opening the driver's door, an alert
message is displayed, accompanied by
an audible signal, to remind you that the
key is still in the ignition switch at position
