Horn

 

 

►  Press the central part of the steering wheel.

Pedestrian horn (Electric)

This system alerts pedestrians that the vehicle is 

approaching.

The pedestrian horn operates once the vehicle 

is moving and at speeds of up to 19 mph 

(30 km/h), in forward or reverse gear.

This function cannot be deactivated.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning 

lamp lights up on the instrument panel.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Electronic stability control 

(ESC)

The electronic stability control programme 

includes the following systems:

–  Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic 

brake force distribution (EBFD).

–  Emergency braking assistance (EBA).

–  Anti-slip regulation (ASR).

–  Dynamic stability control (DSC).

–  Intelligent traction control.

–  Trailer stability assist (TSA).

Anti-lock braking system 

(ABS)/Electronic brake force 

distribution (EBFD)

These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability 

and handling during braking, and enable greater 

control while cornering, particularly on poor or 

slippery road surfaces.

ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of 

emergency braking.

Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) 

manages overall braking pressure on each 

individual wheel.

► 

When braking in an emergency, depress 

the pedal very firmly and maintain this 

pressure.

Normal operation of the ABS may make 

itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake 

pedal.

The fixed illumination of this warning lamp 

signals that there is a fault with the ABS.

The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive 

carefully at a moderate speed.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

This warning lamp, when lit together with 

the 

STOP

 and ABS warning lamps, 

accompanied by a message and an audible 

signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.

You must stop the vehicle.

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off 

the ignition.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 

workshop.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 

ensure that these are approved for your 

vehicle.

After an impact

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or 

a qualified workshop.

Emergency braking 

assistance (EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables you 

to reach the optimum braking pressure more 

quickly and therefore reduce the stopping 

distance.

It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 

the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a 

100

Safety

reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an 

increase in braking efficiency.

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 systems be 

reactivated as soon as possible.

Only the ASR system can be deactivated 

from the touch screen.

Deactivating using the button or Advanced 

Grip Control

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.

Deactivating using the touch screen

In the "

Driving/Vehicle

" menu, deactivate 

the ASR system.

A confirmation message is displayed and 

this warning lamp on the instrument panel 

comes on.

The ASR system no longer acts on the operation 

of the engine.

Reactivating using the button or Advanced 

Grip Control

Press this button.  

Or

Turn the thumbwheel to this position. 

The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 

goes off.

Reactivating using the touch screen

In the "

Driving/Vehicle

" menu, activate 

the ASR system.

A confirmation message is displayed and 

this warning lamp on the instrument panel 

goes off.

These systems are reactivated automatically 

every time the ignition is switched off, or at 

speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h).

Below 31 mph (50 km/h), these systems must be 

reactivated manually.

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 

101

Safety

5

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.

Intelligent traction control 

("Snow motion")

(Depending on version)

The intelligent traction control system helps 

improve grip when driving on snow.

This system detects situations of poor surface 

grip that could make it difficult to move off 

or make progress on deep fresh snow or 

compacted snow.

In these situations, the system limits the amount 

of wheel spin to provide the best traction and 

trajectory control for the vehicle.

The use of winter tyres is strongly 

recommended on slippery surfaces.

Trailer stability assist (TSA)

When towing, this system reduces the risk of the 

vehicle or trailer snaking.

Operation

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.

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.

102

Safety

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.

Snow

This mode adapts its strategy to the 

conditions of grip encountered for each of 

the two front wheels on moving off.

(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))

All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)

This mode, when moving off, allows 

considerable spin on the wheel with the 

least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to 

regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the 

most grip is controlled in such a way as to 

transmit as much torque as possible.

When moving, the system optimises wheel spin 

to respond to the driver's requirements as fully 

as possible.

(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))

Sand

This mode allows little spin on the two 

driving wheels at the same time to allow 

the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of 

getting stuck in the sand.

(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))

Do not use the other modes on sand as 

the vehicle may become stuck.

Deactivation

You can deactivate the ASR and DSC 

systems by turning the knob to the "

OFF

" 

position.

The ASR and DSC systems will no 

longer act on the operation of the engine 

or of the brakes in the event of a change of 

trajectory.

These systems are reactivated automatically 

from 31 mph (50 km/h) and whenever the 

ignition is switched on.

Recommendations

Your vehicle is designed principally to 

drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to 

occasionally drive on other less passable 

terrain.

However, it does not permit off-road driving 

such as:

–  crossing and driving on terrain which 

could damage the underbody or strip away 

components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due 

to obstacles or stones in particular,

–  driving on terrain with steep gradients and 

poor grip,

–  crossing a stream.

Seat belts

Inertia reel

The seat belts are equipped with an inertia 

reel which allows the strap length to adjust 

automatically to the shape of the user. The seat 

belt returns to its storage automatically when it 

is not used.

The inertia reels are fitted with a device which 

automatically locks the strap in the event of a 

collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls

over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly 

and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

Pyrotechnic pretensioning

This system improves safety in the event of a 

frontal 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.

Force limiting system

This system reduces the pressure of the seat 

belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving 

their protection.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and 

seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic 

device may trigger before and independently 

of airbag deployment. 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.

Front seat belts

 

 

The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic 

pretensioning system and a force limiting 

system.

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.

Advice

The driver must ensure that passengers 

use the seat belts correctly and that they 

are all fastened before setting off.

Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must 

always fasten the seat belt, even for short 

journeys.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they 

will not fulfil their role properly.

To ensure the proper functioning of the belt 

buckles, make sure that there are no foreign 

bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt 

is reeled in correctly.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench 

seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned 

and reeled in correctly.

Installation

The lower part of the strap must be 

positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the 

hollow of the shoulder.

At the front, adjusting the position of the 

seat belt may require the seat height to be 

adjusted.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

–  be tightened as close to the body as 

possible.

–  be pulled in front of you with a smooth 

movement, checking that it is not twisted.

–  must only be used to secure one person.

–  not show signs of tearing or fraying.

–  not be changed or modified, in order to 

avoid affecting its performance.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger 

is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5 

metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more 

than one child.

Never carry a child on your lap.

the corresponding section.

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety 

regulations, for all work on your vehicle's 

seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with 

the skills and equipment needed, which a 

CITROËN dealer is able to provide.

Have the 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.

Safety

Airbags

General information

System designed to help improve the safety 

of the occupants sitting in the front seats and 

the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent 

collision. The airbags supplement the action 

of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting 

system.

Electronic detectors record and analyse the 

front and side impacts sustained in the impact 

detection zones:

–  In the event of violent impact, the airbags 

deploy instantly and help better protect the 

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the 

impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not 

to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the 

occupants.

–  In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact 

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags 

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to 

protect you in these situations.

The seriousness of the impact depends on the 

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the 

vehicle at the moment of collision.

The airbags do not operate when the 

ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only deploy once. If a 

second impact occurs (during the same or a 

* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.

subsequent accident), the airbag will not be 

deployed again.

Impact detection zones

A.

Front impact zone

B.

Side impact zone

When one or more airbags are deployed, 

the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge 

incorporated in the system makes a noise and 

releases a small quantity of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 

individuals may experience irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the 

deployment of one or more airbags may result 

in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Front airbags

 

 

This system protects the driver and front 

passenger in the event of a serious front impact, 

limiting the risk of head and chest injury.

The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the 

steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is 

fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deployment

They are deployed, except for the front 

passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the 

event of a violent front impact applied to all or 

part of front impact zone 

A

.

The front airbag inflates between the chest and 

head of the front occupant of the vehicle and 

the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the 

dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion 

their forward movement.

When driving

, keep the storage 

compartment closed. Otherwise, there is 

a risk of injury in the event of an accident or 

sudden braking.

Lateral airbags

 

 

This system protects the driver and front 

passenger in the event of a serious side impact, 

limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between 

the hip and the shoulder.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest 

frame, on the door side.

Deployment

They are deployed on one side in the event 

of a serious side impact applied to all or part 

of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the 

longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a 

horizontal plane and directed from the outside 

towards the inside of the vehicle.

The lateral airbag inflates between the front 

occupant's abdomen and head and the 

associated door trim panel.

If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that 

contributes towards greater protection for 

passengers (with the exception of the centre 

seats) in the event of a serious side impact, in 

order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the 

head.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and 

the upper passenger compartment area.

Deployment

They are deployed on one side in the event 

of a serious side impact applied to all or part 

of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the 

longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a 

horizontal plane and directed from the outside 

towards the inside of the vehicle.

The curtain airbag inflates between the outer 

rear passenger and the windows.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning 

lamp lights up on the instrument panel. 

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 

workshop to have the system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of 

a serious impact.

In the event of a minor impact or bump at 

the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle 

rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision, none of 

the lateral airbags are deployed.

Advice

For the airbags to be fully effective, 

observe the safety recommendations 

below.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.

Do not place anything between the occupants 

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do 

108

Safety

not fix or attach anything near or in the path of 

the airbags, as this could cause injuries when 

they are deployed.

Never modify the original definition of the 

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around 

the airbags.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are 

observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to 

the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out 

when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates 

almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) 

then deflates within the same time, 

discharging the hot gas via openings provided 

for this purpose.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been 

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work must be carried out only by a 

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop

Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel 

by its spokes or resting your hands on the 

centre part of the wheel.

Passengers must not place their feet on the 

dashboard.

Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags 

can cause burns or the risk of injury from a 

cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or 

hit it violently.

Do not fix or attach anything to the steering 

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause 

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

Lateral airbags

Use only approved seat covers 

compatible with the deployment of these 

airbags. For information on the range of seat 

covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a 

CITROËN dealer.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat 

backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause 

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is 

deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any 

nearer to the door than necessary.

The vehicle's front door panels include side 

impact sensors.

A damaged door or any unauthorised or 

incorrectly executed work (modification or 

repair) on the front doors or their interior trim 

could compromise the operation of these 

sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral

Child seats

The regulations on carrying children are 

specific to each country. Refer to the 

legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the 

following recommendations:

–  In accordance with European regulations, 

all children under the age of 12 or less than 

1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child 

seats suited to their weight

, on seats fitted with 

a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.

– 

Statistically, the safest seats in your 

vehicle for carrying children are the rear 

seats.

– 

Children weighing less than 9 kg must 

travel in the "rearward facing" position, 

whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.

It is recommended

 that children travel 

on the 

rear seats

 of the vehicle:

Make sure that the seat belt is correctly 

positioned and tightened.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that 

the support leg is in firm and steady contact 

with the floor.

An incorrectly installed child seat in a 

vehicle compromises the child's safety 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 harness 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 vehicle seat. If 

the passenger seat is adjustable, move it 

forwards if necessary.

Remove the head restraint 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 once 

the child seat has been removed.

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.

Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped 

with a belt guide at shoulder level.

Additional protections

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 sun's rays, 

fit side blinds on the rear windows.

As a safety measure, do not leave:

–  A child alone and unsupervised inside a 

vehicle.

–  A child or an animal in a vehicle which is 

exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.

–  The keys within reach of children inside the 

vehicle.

►  Move the vehicle's front seat forward and 

straighten the backrest so that the legs of the 

child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing 

child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front 

seat.

►  Check that the backrest of the forward-facing 

child seat is as close as possible to the backrest 

of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact 

with it.

►  Adjust the rear seat to the fully back 

longitudinal position, with the backrest 

straightened.

Ensure that the seat belt is correctly 

tensioned.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure 

that the support leg is in firm and steady 

contact with the floor. If necessary, adjust the 

vehicle's front seat.
