Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control programme
comprising the following systems:
-

A
nti-lock Braking System (ABS) and
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD).
-
E

mergency braking assistance (EBA).
-
A

nti-slip regulation (ASR).
-
D

ynamic stability control (DSC).
-

T
railer stability assist (TSA).
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 EBFD manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.

Safety

92
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.
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.
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
f ollowed 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.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
This system allows control of the vehicle to be
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid
the risk of snaking.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
coupled with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by the
display of a
message and an audible
signal, signals that there is a
fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD). Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion ")
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. Depending on version, your vehicle has
a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor sur face
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.

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 equipped with an
inertia reel which allows the strap length
to automatically adjust to your shape.
The seat belt returns to its storage
automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a
collision, emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling the strap firmly and
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a
seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly. Installation
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.
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 in order
not to affect its per formance.
Recommendations for children
Use a
child seat appropriate to the child's
age, weight and size.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one child.
Never allow a
child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer
to the corresponding section. Servicing
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.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impacts, the pyrotechnic device
may trigger before and independently of
airbag deployment. Deployment of the
pretensioners is accompanied by a
slight
discharge of harmless smoke and a
noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and, if necessary,
replaced, by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
