Panoramic glazed sunroof
This glazed roof provides increased visibility
and light in the passenger compartment, while
maintaining normal temperatures thanks to its
"high thermal protection" coating.
Advice on care
In order to preser ve the properties of the
glazed roof, we recommend wiping or cleaning
the inner glass using a clean, soft and dry
cloth.
For stubborn stains, the glass should be
cleaned using screenwash fluid, rinsed with
clean water, then dried with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not use soapy water, abrasive
products, detergents (particularly those
with an ammonia base), solvents,
solutions with a high concentration of
alcohol, petrol, etc.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control integrating the
following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and
contributes towards improved control on corners, in
particular on poor or slippery road sur faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system (EBFD)
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
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
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC 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.
If you benefit from the Citroën Connect
Box offer with the SOS and assistance
pack included, there are additional
ser vices available to you in your personal
space, via the website for your country.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP
and
ABS warning lamps, an audible
signal and a message, this indicates
that the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) is faulty.
You must stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
If you need to brake in an emergency,
press the brake pedal ver y firmly and
keep the pressure applied.

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 fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size. The seat belt
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
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.
The inertia reels have an automatic locking
device at the time of a collision, during
sudden braking or if the vehicle turns over.
You can release the device by pulling the
strap firmly and then releasing it so that it
reels in slightly.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 to avoid
affecting its performance.
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.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one and
a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats
, refer to
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact , the pyrotechnic pretensioner
device may be deployed before and
independently of the airbags. 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.

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it. The head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c hild or children alone and unattended in
a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
Children in front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag when a
"rear ward facing" child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or fatal
injury to the child if the airbag is deployed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a booster seat with
a backrest equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
