Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
a
nd contribute towards better control in
c
orners, in particular on poor or slippery road
su
rfaces.
The
ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
em
ergency
b
raking.
The
electronic brake force distribution system
m
anages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more
q
uickly and therefore reduce the stopping
di
stance.
It
is triggered according to the speed at which
t
he brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
r
eduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
i
ncrease in the effectiveness of the braking.
Traction control (TRC)
This system optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
w
heels and on the engine. It also improves
t
he directional stability of the vehicle on
a
cceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the
d
river, this system monitors each wheel and
a
utomatically acts on the brake of one or more
w
heels and on the engine to return the vehicle
t
o the required path, within the limits of the laws
o
f physics.

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in
t
he event of an accident.
Check
that there is no seat belt or seat belt
b
uckle under the child seat as this could
de
stabilise
i
t.
Remember
to fasten the seat belts or the
c
hild seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation
to the child's body to a minimum,
even
for short journeys.
For
the installation of a child seat using a
s
eat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
o
n the child seat and that it is holding the
c
hild seat firmly against the seat of your
v
ehicle. If your front passenger seat is
a
djustable, move it for ward if necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
between the front seat and:
-
a
rear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
f
acing child seat.
For
this, move the front seat for ward and if
n
ecessary straighten its backrest.
Recommendations on child seats
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without
t
ouching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes
correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN
recommends the use of a booster
s
eat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
g
uide at shoulder level.
As
a safety precaution, never leave:
-
o
ne or more children alone and
u
nsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a
child or an animal in a vehicle which
i
s exposed to the sun, with the windows
c
losed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
t
he vehicle.
To
prevent accidental opening of the doors,
u
se the "Child lock".
Take
care not to open the rear windows by
m
ore than one third.
To
protect young children from the rays of
t
he sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
