Safety
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises 
traction by using engine braking and by applying 
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one 
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the 
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s 
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the 
dynamic stability control system automatically 
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or 
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired 
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory 
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the 
instrument panel).
Deactivation / Reactivation 
 
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that 
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose 
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the  DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip.
However, it is recommended that the system be 
reactivated as soon as possible.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched off, or from 31 
mph (50
  km/h).
At speeds below 31 mph (50   km/h), the systems 
can be reactivated manually.
Press this button or turn the thumbwheel 
to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer 
have an effect on engine operation.
To reactivate the system:
Press this button.  
Or
Turn the thumbwheel to this position. 
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during 
normal driving, but 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.
Correct operation of these systems depends 
on compliance with the manufacturer's 
recommendations relating to the wheels 
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic 
components, as well as the assembly and 
repair procedures provided by CITROËN 
dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain 
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow 
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four 
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for 
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the 
tyre/paint label. For more information 
on Identification markings , refer to the 
corresponding section.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the 
vehicle or trailer snaking.   

97
Safety
5Operation
The system is activated automatically when the 
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC) 
must not have any faults.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99 
mph (60 and 160  km/h).
If the system detects that the trailer is 
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise 
the trailer and reduces engine power, if 
necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the 
flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument 
panel and the brake lamps coming on).
For information on weights and towed loads, 
refer to the Engine technical data and towed 
loads section or your vehicle’s registration 
certificate.
To ensure safe driving with a  Towing device, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights 
up on the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message and an audible signal.
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and 
drive carefully!
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
The trailer stability control system  provides an extra safety feature under 
normal driving conditions, when following the 
recommendations for use of trailers and 
current legislation in force in your country. It 
must not encourage the driver to take extra 
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable 
conditions of operation (e.g.
  excessive load, 
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated 
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at 
excessive speed.
In certain cases, the system may not detect 
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the 
system may not be able to prevent sudden 
trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
(Depending on version)
A special, patented traction control system, 
which improves driveability on snow, mud and 
sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range 
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most 
slippery conditions (encountered during normal 
passenger car use).
When combined with all-season Peak Mountain 
Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a 
compromise between safety, grip and driveability.
When combined with suitable tyres, this system 
offers a compromise between safety, grip and 
driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to harness 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 modes 
 
 
 
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of  wheel spin, based on the different levels 
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the 
system automatically resets to this mode.

If the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch 
pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and 
the indicator
  lamp flashes slowly; in this case, 
the maintained descent speed is lower.
On a downward slope, with the vehicle 
stationary, if the driver releases the accelerator 
and brake pedals, the system will release the 
brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the 
system is regulating.

Seat belts
Front seat belts 
 
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic 
pretensioning system and force limiter.
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 pyrotechnic 
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat 
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are 
enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the 
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus 
improving their protection.
 
 
The front seat belts are fitted with a single 
pyrotechnic pretensioning system (or  double on 
the driver’s side, depending on equipment) and a 
force limiter (or progressive force limiter on the 
driver’s side, depending on equipment options).
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 pretensionsining system 
operates the same way, except that it uses two 
anchor points rather than one, for enhanced 
effectiveness.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are 
enabled when the ignition is on.
