The TRC and DSC systems offer increased safety in normal driving, but
s
hould not encourage the driver to take
e
xtra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of these
systems
depends on observation of
t
he
ma
nufacturer's
r
ecommendations
r
egarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
t
he braking components, the electronic
c
omponents and the assembly and
r
epair procedures used by CITROËN
d
ealers.
After
an impact, have the system
c
hecked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
g
round...), it may be advisable to deactivate the
D
SC and TRC systems, so that the wheels can
s
pin freely and regain grip.
Operating fault
However, it is recommended that these systems be reactivated as soon as possible.
F
P
ress this button briefly.
This
warning lamp comes on: the
T
RC system no longer acts on the
o
peration of the engine.
Reactivation
The TRC and DSC control systems are reactivated automatically every time the engine
i
s started. F
P
ress the button again to
r
eactivate it manually. Illumination
of this warning lamp, a
ccompanied by an audible signal,
i
ndicates a fault with the system.
Drive
carefully at reduced speed and contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to
h
ave the system checked.

Airbags
Designed to contribute towards the safety of the occupants in the event of violent collisions.
T
he airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting
seat belts.
If
a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
r
ecord and analyse the front and side impacts
s
ustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
a
re deployed instantly and contribute
t
owards better protection of the occupants
o
f the vehicle; immediately after the impact,
t
he airbags deflate rapidly so that they
d
o not hinder visibility or the exit of the
o
ccupants,
-
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
c
ertain roll-over conditions, the airbags
m
ay not be deployed; the seat belt alone
c
ontributes towards providing your
p
rotection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off. The
deployment of an airbag is
a
ccompanied by a slight emission
o
f smoke and a noise, due to the
d
etonation of the pyrotechnic charge
i
ncorporated in the system.
This
smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
i
ndividuals may experience slight
ir
ritation.
The
detonation noise associated with
t
he deployment of an airbag may result
i
n a slight loss of hearing for a short
t
ime.
This
equipment will only deploy once.
I
f a second impact occurs (during the
s
ame or a subsequent accident), the
a
irbag will not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the e
vent of a serious front impact to all or part of the
f
ront impact zone A,
in the longitudinal centreline
o
f the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
f
rom the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The
front airbag inflates between the thorax and
h
ead of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
s
teering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,
p
assenger's side to cushion their for ward
m
ovement.
System
which protects the driver and front
p
assenger in the event of a serious front impact
i
n order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
t
horax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
s
teering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
f
itted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Fuel tank
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached, t
his warning lamp comes on,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal.
The
message "LO FUEL" is displayed in place
o
f
the
range.
You have approximately 5 litres remaining.
In
certain
driving conditions and depending on
t
he
engine, the distance which can be travelled
w
ith
the
fuel remaining may be less than
3
0 miles
(50 km). To
refuel in complete safety:
F
Y
ou must stop the engine and switch off
the ignition (ignition in "LOCK" position
or "OFF" mode) .
F
P
ull the control on the lower dashboard,
d
river's side, to release the filler flap.
F
O
pen the fuel filler flap.
If
you run out of fuel, the emission
c
ontrol system warning lamp may come
o
n
in the instrument panel. It will go off
a
utomatically after the engine has been
s
tarted a few times. Refuelling
must only be done with the engine
stopped and the ignition switched off ( ignition s
witch in the "LOCK" position or " OFF"
mode).
The capacity of the fuel tank is approximately 35 litres.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
b
e registered by the fuel gauge.
A
label on the inside of the flap reminds you
w
hich type of fuel to use.
There
may be an inrush of air when removing
t
he filler cap. This vacuum is per fectly normal
a
nd results from the sealing of the fuel system.
