If after an extended stop in sunshine, the
interior temperature is very high, first air
the passenger compartment for a few
moments.
Put the air flow control at a
setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Switching on
This system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a grip or trajectory problem, this
system comes into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
F

P
ress this button to deactivate the system.
The button's warning lamp comes on
accompanied by a
message in the instrument
panel screen, indicating that the ASR system is
deactivated.
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on.
F

P
ress this button again to reactivate it
manually.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a
fault
with the ASR system.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a


qualified workshop. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
Safety

AirbagsThe airbags do not operate when the
engine is not running.
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.
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:
-

i

n 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 deflate rapidly so as
not to hinder visibility or a

potential exit by
the occupants,
-

i

n the case of a

minor or rear impact or in
certain rollover conditions, the airbags are
not deployed; the seat belt alone contributes
towards ensuring your protection in these
situations. Deployment of the airbags is accompanied
by a
slight discharge of smoke and
a
noise, resulting from activation of the
pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the
system.
Although this smoke is not harmful,
sensitive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in
a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger(s) airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked.
Lateral airbags and curtain
airbags
If your vehicle is fitted with lateral airbags,
these are fitted to the front seat backrests on
the door side.
Curtain airbags are fitted to the door pillars and
the upper part of the passenger compartment,
in the roof over the front cab seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
glazed area.
They are deployed independently of each other
depending on which side the collision occurs.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you wish to move off.
Restart is instantaneous, quick and silent.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions and offers the comfort of complete
silence when stationary.
Going into engine STOP
mode
With the vehicle stationary, put the gear lever
into neutral, then release the clutch pedal.This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby.
Automatic stopping of the engine is only
possible after the vehicle has exceeded
a
speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h), to avoid
repeated stopping of the engine when
driving slowly. Never leave your vehicle before turning off
the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode

Malfunction
In the event of a fault, the system is
s witched off and the indicator goes
out.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a


qualified workshop. Use the cruise control only when traffic
conditions allow you to travel at a
constant
speed for a
certain period of time whilst
keeping a
sufficiently safe distance from
other vehicles.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb, etc. The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may impair the operation of the
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
Cruise control (3 litre HDi
e ngine)
System which automatically
maintains the cruising speed of the
vehicle at a
setting programmed by
the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal. 1.
Cruise control On/Off.
2. Programming a

speed.
3. Return to the programmed speed.
If your vehicle is fitted with cruise control, this
is displayed on the instrument panel by an
indicator located in the rev counter.
Function selected.
Function deactivated.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
only. It does not exempt the driver from
keeping to speed limits or the need to
remain vigilant at all times.
In order for it to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than 19
mph
(30

km/h) with 2nd gear or higher engaged. As a
safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

Lane Departure Warning
System
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
A camera fitted at the top centre of the
windscreen monitors the road and detects lane
markings and the position of the vehicle with
respect to them.
With the vehicle running at a
speed higher than
37
mph (60 km/h), it triggers a warning if the
vehicle drifts off line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
