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.
Safety Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
When this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the abS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In both cases, contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved for your vehicle. Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
Intelligent traction control system ("Snow motion") Depending on version, your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: intelligent traction control. This system detects situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow. In these situations, the intelligent traction control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels of adhesion.
217
6Safety The correct operation of these systems depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding as much the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components as the assembly and repair procedures used by CITROËN dealers. To benefit in full from the effectiveness of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry conditions, the vehicle must be fitted with four snow tyres, allowing the the vehicle to retain neutral behaviour on the road.
Deactivation In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the dSC and aSR, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.
F Press this button.
Activation These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started. As soon as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory, these systems act on the operation if the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
This indicator lamp and the indicator lamp in the button come on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act on the operation of the engine and on the brakes in the event of a involuntary change of trajectory.
Dynamic stability control (DSC) and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
DSC/ASR The DSC and ASR systems offer increased safety in normal driving, but they 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 the DSC and ASR systems activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions.
218
Safety Reactivation The systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h). Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate them manually:
F Press this button again.
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, indicate a fault with the system.
Contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

6Safety Seat belts Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pretensioning and 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 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 occupant, so improving their protection.
220
Seat belt reels with reversible pretension This system provides automatic adjustment of the tension of the driver's and passenger's seat belts after fastening, once the vehicle's speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h). In addition, as soon as the system detects a potentially dangerous driving situation, this system reacts by drawing in slack in the belt, (for example, under heavy or sharp braking or sudden avoiding manoeuvres). By automatically increasing the tension of the seat belts, the system holds the driver and passenger against their seat backrests. Once the driving situation returns to normal, the belt reel is released: the belt tension returns to the initial level of comfort.
Deactivation of the passenger's airbag causes deactivation of the reversible seat belt reel on the passenger's side.

6Safety The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all restrained securely 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 are fitted with an automatic 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 pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
224
-
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 does not twist, be used to restrain only one person, not bear any trace of cuts or fraying, not 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, refer to the "Child seats" section.
In the event of an impact Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact, the pretensioning 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 belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop.
Safety Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent collisions. The airbags supplement the action of the force- limiting seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear passenger). If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones: -
in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate 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 airbags may not be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
-
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.
Deployment of one or more of the airbags is accompanied by a slight emission of 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 detonation related to the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
225
6Safety Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious front impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and thorax. The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact 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 airbag inflates between the thorax and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.
Deactivation Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated. F With the ignition off, insert the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch.
F Turn it to the "OFF" position. F Remove the key keeping the switch in the
226
new position.
When the ignition is on, this warning lamp comes in the instrument panel. It stays on while the airbag is deactivated.
Safety To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag must be deactivated when you install a rearward facing child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
Reactivation When you remove the rearward facing child seat, with the ignition off, turn the switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger in the event of an impact.
When the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel for approximately one minute to signal that the front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning and a message, contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
227
6Safety Lateral airbags
Impact detection zones A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone.
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the hip and the shoulder. Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, door side. Deployment A lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally 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 lateral airbag inflates between the hip and shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.
228
Safety Curtain airbags System contributing towards greater protection for the the driver and passengers (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) 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 The curtain airbag is deployed at the same time as the corresponding lateral airbag 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 airbag inflates between the front or rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on 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 is deployed.
229
6Safety Guidelines to follow: Sit in a normal upright position. Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. Do not allow anything to come between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...), do not attach or fix anything near to the airbags or their trajectories when inflating as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed. Never modify the original definition of your vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags. after an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop. Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. 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.
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 fit or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Lateral airbags Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a CITROËN dealer. Refer to the "Accessories" section. Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed. do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the curtain airbag is deployed. If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.

Safety General points relating to child seats
Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations: -
in accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than one and a half 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, a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the rearward facing position both in the front and in the rear.
CITROËN recommends that children should travel on the rear seats of your vehicle:
rearward facing up to the age of 3, forward facing over the age of 3.
* The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your country.
231
6Safety Child seat at the front*
Rearward facing When a rearward facing child seat is installed on the front passenger seat, adjust the vehicle seat to the midway longitudinal position, the lowest height position, backrest straightened. Then pull the height control lever 11 times. The passenger's front airbag must be deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks being seriously injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
Forward facing When a forward facing child seat is installed on the front passenger seat, adjust the vehicle seat to the midway longitudinal position, the lowest height position, backrest straightened. Then pull the height control lever 11 times. Leave the passenger's airbag active.
Ensure that the seat belt is properly tightened. For child seats with a support leg, ensure that this is in firm and steady contact with the floor. If necessary, adjust the passenger's seat.

Safety Recommendations
Child seats The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in the event of an accident. Check 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 in relation to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys. For the installation of a child seat using a seat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned on the child seat and that it is holding the child seat firmly against the seat of your vehicle. If your front passenger seat is adjustable, move it forward if necessary. at the rear seats, always leave sufficient space between the front seat and: - a rearward facing child seat, the feet of a child seated in a forward facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward and if necessary straighten its backrest. For optimum installation of the forward facing child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is as close as possible to the backrest of the vehicle's seat, or in contact if possible. The head restraint must be removed before installing a child seat with a backrest on the passenger seat. Ensure that the head restraint is stowed or attached securely so that it is not thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint as soon as the child seat is removed.
Children at the front The legislation on carrying a child on the front passenger seat is specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in the country in which you are driving. Deactivate the passenger's front airbag when a rearward facing child seat is installed on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
Installing a booster cushion 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. CITROËN recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
