This system is a public service and is free of charge.
Operation of the system
– Upon switching on the ignition, the indicator
lamp lights up red, then green, and then goes
out: the system is operating correctly
.
* In accordance with the general conditions of use of the service, available from dealers an\
d subject to technological and technical limitations.
** Depend ing on the geographic coverage of the "eCall (SOS)" and "ASSISTANCE" systems.
The list of countries covered and the telematic services provided is ava\
ilable from dealers or on the website for your country.
– The indicator lamp flashes red: replace the
back-up battery .
–
The indicator lamp is fixed red: system
malfunction.
The emergency and assistance call
services may not work.
–
If the indicator lamp does not come on when
the ignition is switched on, this also means that
there is a system malfunction.
If the problem persists, contact a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
A system fault does not prevent the vehicle from being driven.
Data processing
All processing of personal data by
the eCall (SOS) function complies with
the framework for protection of personal
information established by Regulation
2016/679 (General Data Protection
Regulation - GDPR) and Directive 2002/58/
EC of the European Parliament and the
Council, and in particular, seeks to protect
the vital interests of the data subject, in
accordance with Article 6 (1) d) GDPR.
The processing of personal data is strictly
limited to the purpose of handling the eCall
(SOS) function used with the “112” single
European emergency call number.
The eCall (SOS) function is only able to
collect and process the following data
relating to the vehicle: vehicle identification
number, vehicle type (passenger vehicle or
light commercial vehicle), fuel type or power
source, three most recent locations and
direction of travel, number of passengers
and a timestamped log file of the automatic
activation of the system and its timestamp.
The recipients of the processed data are the
emergency call handling centres designated
by the relevant national authorities in the
territory in which they are located, enabling
priority routing and handling of calls to the
“112” emergency number.
Data storage
Data contained in the system’s memory
is not accessible from outside the system until
a call is made. The system is not traceable
and is not continuously monitored in its
normal operating mode.
The data in the system's internal memory is
automatically and continuously erased. Only
the vehicle’s three most recent locations,
necessary for the normal functioning of the
system, are stored.
When an emergency call is triggered, the data
log is stored for no more than 13 hours.

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.

► To select the system, at speeds below
31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until
its lamp lights up; this indicator
lamp appears in
green on the instrument panel.
The system becomes active at speeds below 19
mph (30
km/h).
►
When the vehicle begins its descent, the
driver can release the accelerator and brake
pedals; the system regulates the speed:
– If the gearbox is in first or second gear ,
the speed decreases and the
indicator
lamp flashes rapidly.
–
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.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30
km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, the indicator
lamp goes back to grey in the
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in
the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the
speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal
again at any time.
Switching off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel
goes off.
At speeds above 43 mph (70
km/h), the system
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in

In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on in green on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of
a message.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.

Driving
With Petrol engines, after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can
cause noticeable engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does not
start after several attempts, do not keep
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor
and the engine.

climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
–
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine
to warm up while stationary
, but move off
straight away and drive at moderate speed.
–
Depending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the idle
engine speed can accelerate up to 1,300
rpm depending on the air conditioning
requirements.
–
In wintry conditions, when the ignition is
switched on, the duration of lighting of the
preheating indicator lamp is extended. W
ait
until it goes off before starting the engine.
–
In very severe wintry
conditions
(temperature below -23°C),
to ensure correct operation and preserve
the lifespan of the vehicle's mechanical
components, engine and gearbox, leave the
engine running for 4 minutes before moving
off.
Never leave the engine running in an
enclosed area without adequate ventilation:
internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
With Petrol engines, after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can
cause noticeable engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
