Lighting and visibility

If the driver's door is opened, a temporary 

audible signal warns the driver that the lamps 

are on.

The lamps, with the exception of the 

sidelamps, switch off automatically after a 

maximum duration of 30 minutes to avoid 

draining the battery.

They will go off automatically after a period 

of time that depends on the level of charge in 

the battery (entering energy economy mode).

In some weather conditions (e.g. low 

temperature or humidity), misting on the 

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps 

and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear 

after the lamps have been on for a few 

minutes.

Never look too closely at the light beam 

of LED technology lamps - risk of serious 

eye injury!

 

 

Travelling abroad

Vehicles equipped with halogen 

headlamps:

If planning to use your vehicle in a country 

that drives on the other side of the road, the 

dipped beam headlamps must be adjusted to 

avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Contact a 

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Before operating the wipers in wintry 

conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost 

from the windscreen and around the wiper 

arms and blades.

Do not operate the wipers on a dry 

windscreen. In extremely hot or cold 

weather, check that the wiper blades are not 

stuck to the windscreen before operating the 

wipers.

After using an automatic car wash, you 

may temporarily notice abnormal noises 

and poorer wiping performance.  You do not 

need to replace the wiper blades.

To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do 

not operate the screenwash if the 

screenwash reservoir is empty.

Only operate the screenwash if there is no 

risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen 

and hindering visibility. During the winter 

period, use "very cold climate" rated products.

Never top up with water.

Special position of the 

windscreen wipers

This maintenance position is used while cleaning 

or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be 

36

Lighting and visibility

useful, in wintry weather (ice, snow), to release 

the wiper blades from the windscreen.

To maintain the effectiveness of the flat 

wiper blades, it is advisable to:

–  handle them with care.

–  clean them regularly using soapy water.

–  avoid using them to hold cardboard on the 

windscreen.

–  replace them at the first signs of wear.

Before removing a windscreen wiper blade

 

 

Operating the wiper control stalk immediately 

after switching off the ignition will place the wiper 

blades in a vertical position.

General safety 

recommendations

Do not remove the labels attached in 

different places on your vehicle. They 

include safety warnings as well as 

identification information for the vehicle.

For all work on your vehicle, use a 

qualified workshop that has the technical 

information, skills and equipment required, all 

of which a CITROËN dealer is able to 

provide.

Depending on country regulations, 

certain safety equipment may be 

mandatory: high visibility safety vests, 

warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs, 

spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud 

flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.

Installing electrical accessories:

–  The fitting of electrical equipment or 

accessories not approved by CITROËN may 

cause excessive current consumption and 

faults and failures with the electrical system 

of your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer 

for information on the range of approved 

accessories.

–  As a safety measure, access to the 

diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's 

electronic systems, is reserved strictly for 

CITROËN dealers or qualified workshops, 

equipped with the special tools required (risk 

of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic 

systems that could cause breakdowns or 

serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot 

be held responsible if this advice is not 

followed.

–  Any modification or adaptation not intended 

or authorised by CITROËN or carried out 

without meeting the technical requirements 

defined by the Manufacturer will result in the 

suspension of the commercial warranty.

Installation of accessory radio 

communication transmitters

Before installing a radio communication 

transmitter with an external aerial, you must 

without fail contact a CITROËN dealer for 

the specification of transmitters which can 

be fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial 

position, specific installation requirements), 

in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic 

Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).

Declarations of conformity for radio 

equipment

The relevant certificates are available on the 

brand website:

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).

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)

This system reduces the emergency stopping 

distance, by optimising the braking pressure.

It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 

the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this 

is a 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 (starting a vehicle 

which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft 

ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate 

the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn 

freely and regain grip.

Reactivate the system as soon as the level of 

grip permits.

 

 

 

 

►  Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the 

function.

The button indicator lamp is on when the 

function is deactivated.

Deactivation is confirmed by the 

illumination of this indicator lamp in the 

instrument panel.

The ASR system is reactivated automatically 

every time the ignition is switched back on or 

from 31 mph (50 km/h).

Below 31 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it 

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 

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.

Seat belts

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.

not fastened their seat belts.

At a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h), 

these warning lamps flash, accompanied by an 

increasing audible signal for approximately two 

minutes. After two minutes, these warning lamps 

remain on as long as the front seatbelts are not 

fastened.

Not fastened at the rear

When the ignition is switched on and with the 

engine running or the vehicle moving at a speed 

below 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning lamp and 

the corresponding indicator lamps light up for 

1 minute, if one or more rear seat belts are not 

fastened.

warning lamps flash, accompanied by an audible 

signal for approximately two minutes. After this 

time, these warning lamps remain on as long as 

the seatbelts are not refastened.

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.

41

Safety

5

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.

Child seats

, refer to 

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.

Airbags

General information

This system is designed to improve the safety 

of the occupants of 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 

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 

42

Safety

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

dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion 

their forward movement.

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

The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in 

the event of a serious side impact applied to all 

or part of the side impact zone 

B

.

The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of 

the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding 

door panel.

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 

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 

43

Safety

5

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 

airbags!

All work must be carried out only by a 

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop

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:

– "

rearward facing

" up to the age of 3,

– "

forward facing

" over the age of 3.

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 

44

Safety

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.

is essential to deactivate the passenger’s 

airbag. Otherwise,

"ISOFIX" mountings

The seats shown below are fitted with ISOFIX 

compliant mountings:

 

 

The mountings comprise three rings for each 

seat, indicated by a marking:

–  Two rings 

A

, located between the vehicle seat 

backrest and cushion.

 

 

The 2 latches on 

ISOFIX child seats

 are 

secured to them.

–  One ring 

B

, located under a cover on the back 

of the top of the seat backrest, called the 

TOP 

TETHER 

 for attaching seats fitted with an upper 

strap. It is indicated by a marking.

 

 

This system prevents the child seat from tipping 

forwards in the event of a front impact.

This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast, 

reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the 

vehicle.

To secure the child seat to the 

TOP TETHER

:

►  Pass the strap of the child seat over the 

centre of the vehicle's seat backrest.

►  Lift the TOP TETHER cover.

►  Secure the upper strap hook to ring 

B

.

►  Tighten the upper strap.

When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the 

left-hand rear seat of the bench seat, 

before fitting the seat, first move the centre 

rear seat belt towards the middle of the 

vehicle, so as to avoid the seat interfering 

with the operation of the seat belt.
