BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS

Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking
in complete safety in emergency
situations:
-

the anti-lock braking system (ABS),

the electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD).

When braking in an emergen-

cy, press very ﬁ rmly without re-

leasing the pressure.

The two warning lights comes on at
the same time and the two warnings
are displayed alternately on the
instrument panel display.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.

Operating fault

this

warning

light

comes

on,

accompanied by the indication on the
instrument panel display, it indicates
a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

If these two warning lights come
on, linked with the warnings on the
instrument panel display, they indicate a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution

Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces.

The warning light comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on (ON position). If it does not switch
off or does not come on, contact a
CITROËN dealer.

When the vehicle is stationary

When the vehicle is moving

If this warning light comes
on continuously it indicates
a malfunction of the anti-lock
braking system which could

result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-
hicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

S A F E T Y

101

The ASC/TCL systems offer

exceptional safety in normal

driving, but this should not en-

courage the driver to take extra risks

or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
CITROËN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Disarming
In exceptional conditions (starting a

vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.



Press the “ASC OFF” button, locat-

ed to the left of the steering wheel,
until the ASC OFF symbol appears
on the instrument panel display.

The displaying of this symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel dis-
play indicates that the ASC and TCL
systems are disarmed.

Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-
tomatically above 30 mph (50 km/h).


Press the “ASC OFF” button again

to reactivate them manually.

The switching off of the symbol in the
top right corner of the instrument panel
display indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.

Operating fault

The displaying of this mes-
sage on the instrument
panel display indicates a
malfunction of these sys-
tems.

Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
ASC/TCL systems checked.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is
higher than 10 mph (15 km/h).

Anti-skid regulation and
electronic stability programme

The anti-skid regulation optimises trac-
tion to prevent skidding of the wheels,
by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver.

They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by ﬂ ashing of

this symbol on the instrument panel dis-
play.

Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:
-

the anti-skid regulation (TCL),

the electronic stability programme
(ASC).

pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body
of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the oc-
cupant, so increasing his protection.

104

Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles as

they will not fulﬁ l their role fully.

The seat belts are ﬁ tted with an inertia

reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stored automatically when not
in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be posi-
tioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are ﬁ tted with an auto-

matic locking device which comes into
operation in the event of a collision,
emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. You can release the device by pull-
ing rapidly on the strap and releasing it.

Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old

or shorter than one metre ﬁ fty.
Never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap.

In order to be effective, a seat belt:
-

must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,

must restrain one person of adult
size only,

must not bear any trace of cuts or
fraying,

must be pulled in front of you with
a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,

must not be transformed or

modiﬁ ed to avoid altering its

performance.

In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a CITROËN dealer and par-
ticularly 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 rolled up correctly.

Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
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 air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer.

S A F E T Y

105

AIR BAGS

The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is
switched off.

This equipment will only operate once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
air bag will not operate.

Front air bags

System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
The driver’s air bag is incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger’s air bag is incorporat-

ed in the fascia above the glove box.

Activation
The air bags are triggered simultaneously,
unless the passenger’s front air bag
is disarmed, in the event of a serious
front impact applied to all or part of the
front impact zone A , in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the front to the
rear of the vehicle.
The front air bag inﬂ ates between the front

occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

Triggering of the air bag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emission
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but

sensitive individuals may experience

slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.

System designed to maximise the safety

of the occupants (with the exception of

the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts.

If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front
and side impacts sustained in the im-
pact detection zones:
-

in the case of a serious impact, the
air bags are triggered instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle

(with the exception of the rear centre

passenger); immediately after the

impact, the air bags deﬂ ate rapidly

so that they do not hinder visibility

or the exit of the occupants,

in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in certain roll-over conditions,
the air bags will not be triggered;

the seat belt alone is sufﬁ cient to

provide optimum protection in these
situations.

S A F E T Y

106

If the air bag warning light and the
display come on continuously,
do not install a “rear facing” child

seat on the front passenger seat.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Operating fault

If this warning light comes on on the
instrument panel and this display
appears on the instrument panel
display, contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the event
of a serious impact.

To guarantee the safety of your
child, it is imperative that the
passenger air bag is disarmed

when you install a “rear facing” child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air
bag were triggered.

This warning light comes on on the cen-
tre console front panel when the ignition
is on and until the air bag is re-armed.

Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch A to the “ON” position to re-arm
the air bag and so guarantee the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
The associated warning light switches
off.

Deactivation
Only the front passenger’s air bag can
be disarmed:


with the ignition off , insert the key

in the passenger air bag disarming
switch A ,



turn it to the “OFF” position,



remove the key.

S A F E T Y

107

Side air bags

System which protects the driver and
passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury
to the chest.
Each side air bag is incorporated in
the front seat back frame, on the door
side.

Activation
The side air bag is triggered unilaterally
in the event of a serious side impact
applied to all or part of the side impact
zone B , perpendicular to the longitudi-
nal centreline of the vehicle on a hori-
zontal plane and directed from the out-
side towards the inside of the vehicle.
The side air bag inﬂ ates between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad.

Curtain air bags

System which protects the driver and

passengers (with the exception of the

rear centre passenger and the passen-
gers of row 3) in the event of a serious
side impact in order to limit the risk of
injury to the head.
Each curtain air bag is incorporated in
the pillars and the upper section of the
passenger compartment.

Activation
The curtain air bag is triggered at the

same time as the corresponding side

air bag in the event of a serious side

impact applied to all or part of the side

impact zone B , 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 air bag inﬂ ates between the

front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.

In the event of a minor impact
or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over,

the air bag may not be triggered.
In the event of a rear or front colli-
sion, the air bag is not triggered.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

Operating fault

If this warning light comes on on the
instrument panel and this display appears
on the instrument panel display, contact
a CITROËN dealer to have the system
checked. The air bags may no longer be
triggered in the event of a serious impact.

S A F E T Y

108

Front air bags
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 fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the air bags can cause burns or
the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.

Side air bags
Put approved covers only on the seats. These will not hinder inﬂ ation of the

side air bags. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Do not ﬁ x or glue anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the

chest or arms if the side air bag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than neces-
sary.

For the air bags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the air bags or injure the
occupants.

After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
air bag systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by

qualiﬁ ed personnel of the CITROËN

network.

Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an air bag is triggered
cannot be ruled out. In fact, the bag

inﬂ ates almost instantly (within a few

milliseconds) then deﬂ ates within the

same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.

Curtain air bags
Do not ﬁ x or glue anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the

curtain air bag is triggered.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in secur-
ing the curtain air bags.

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL

4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive and provides optimum traction
regardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle’s normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the

torque between the front and rear axles

is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
guaranteeing optimum road holding.

Three

transmission

modes

are

available and can be selected manually
by the driver in accordance with his
requirements.
You can change transmission mode
when stationary or while driving at a
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h) .
The transmission mode can be selected
by turning the control A .

Display on the instrument panel

The transmission mode is displayed in
the form of an intermittent display on
the instrument panel display when the
transmission mode is selected.

Selecting the transmission
mode

The selection of this mode is rec-
ommended when the level of grip
permits.

2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two
wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a
tarmacked road on which the driver
considers that there is no risk of loss of
grip (dry road).

4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly

poor or difﬁ cult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).

System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.
