Accesses

Changing the remote control battery

Battery ref.: CR1620/3 volts.

The information "battery ﬂ at" is given by an audible signal, accompanied by a message on the multifunction display.

To replace the battery, unclip the casing using a coin at the ring.

If the remote control does not work after the battery has been changed, re-programme the remote control.

Do not discard the remote control batteries, they contain metals which are harmful to the environment.

Take them to a CITROËN dealer , or to any other approved collection point.

Programming the remote control

Following changing of the remote control battery or disconnection of the vehicle battery, the remote control may have to be reprogrammed.

Wait at least one minute before using the remote control.

Insert the key in the ignition switch with the buttons

(padlocks) of the remote control facing you.

Switch on the ignition.

Press the locking padlock for at least ﬁ ve seconds within the next ten seconds.

Switch off the ignition.

Wait at least one minute before using the remote control.

The remote control is now working again.

ELECTRONIC ENGINE

IMMOBILISER

This locks the engine control system as soon as the ignition has been switched off and therefore prevents starting of the vehicle by anyone who does not have the key.

The ignition key has an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched on, the code must be recognised for starting to be possible.

If the system does not function correctly, the central locking button indicator light, situated on the courtesy light console, ﬂ ashes rapidly when the ignition is switched on (2nd notch).

In this case your vehicle will not start.

Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Good practice

Key, remote control

Take care not to allow the key to come into contact with grease, dust, rain or a damp environment.

A heavy object attached to the key

(key ring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key in the switch may cause a malfunction.

The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock your vehicle, without you being aware of it.

Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have to be reprogrammed.

The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off, except for reprogramming.

Do not make any modiﬁ cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system.

Accesses

If the keys are lost

A CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code to order a replacement key if you show him your

V5 registration certiﬁ cate and personal identiﬁ cation.

Safety

In the event of a serious impact the doors are unlocked automatically to permit access by the emergency services.

Remove the ignition key when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time, if there are children on board.

Purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Ensure that you are given the anti-theft socket for alloy wheels (remember to note the code engraved on the head of the socket).

Have the key codes memorised by a

CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.

Accesses

ALARM

If ﬁ tted on your vehicle, this provides two types of protection:

- exterior protection: it sounds if a door, the tailgate or the bonnet is opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if the volume inside the passenger compartment changes (breaking of a window or a movement inside the vehicle).

A red indicator light, located in the centre of the fascia, indicates the information detailed below.

Setting the alarm

- Switch off the ignition and get out of the vehicle.

Set the alarm within ﬁ ve minutes of getting out of the vehicle, by locking or deadlocking using the remote control (the red indicator light ﬂ ashes once per second).

To lock your vehicle without setting the alarm, insert the key in the lock then lock the vehicle (e.g. for washing).

When the alarm is triggered, the siren sounds and the direction indicator lights ﬂ ash for thirty seconds.

Warning - alarm triggered: the red indicator light ﬂ ashes rapidly, insert the key and switch on the ignition to switch it off.

When the alarm has been triggered ten times in succession (on the eleventh time) the alarm is deactivated. Repeat the rules for setting the alarm.

Disarming

Unlock the vehicle with the remote control (the red indicator light goes out).

To set the alarm with exterior protection only

If, while you are away from the vehicle, you wish to leave a window partially open or a pet inside the vehicle, you should choose exterior protection only.

- Close the sunroofs,

- Switch off the ignition,

- In the next ten seconds, press button

A , located on the left-hand side of the fascia, until the red indicator light is on continuously,

- Get out of the vehicle,

- Within the next ﬁ ve minutes, set the alarm by locking or deadlocking using the remote control (the red indicator light ﬂ ashes once a second).

When the alarm is set but the remote control does not operate:

- Unlock the doors with the key and open the door. The alarm is triggered.

- Switch on the ignition in the next ten seconds. The alarm is disarmed.

Incorrect operation

When the ignition is switched on, if the red indicator light remains on for ten seconds, there is a fault in the siren connection.

Consult a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.

Automatic setting of the alarm

If ﬁ tted on your vehicle, the alarm is set automatically 2 minutes after the last door or the tailgate is closed.

To prevent triggering of the alarm when a door or the tailgate is opened, it is imperative to press the remote control unlocking button again.

Do not make any modiﬁ cations to the alarm system as this could cause faults.

INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY

After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:

- service indicator,

- engine oil level indicator

(see corresponding section),

- total distance recorder

(total and trip distances).

It also displays the automatic gearbox positions and programmes selected

(see opposite). In the event of a breakdown and in order to avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap two turns to allow the pressure to drop.

When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.

Contact a CITROËN dealer .

The total and trip distances are displayed for thirty seconds, when the ignition is switched off, on opening the driver’s door as well as on locking and unlocking the vehicle.

Service indicator

The display, located in the control block, informs you when the next service will be due in accordance with the "Manufacturer's" servicing schedule indicated in the servicing booklet. This information is determined in relation to the distance travelled since the previous service.

Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before the next service is due. When the ignition is switched on and for a few seconds, the display shows:

Refer to the list of checks in the servicing booklet which was given to you on delivery of the vehicle.

Instruments and controls

A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the oil level is displayed, then the total distance recorder resumes normal operation and the spanner remains lit. This indicates that a service should be carried out shortly.

A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the oil level is displayed, then the total distance recorder resumes normal operation showing the total and trip distances.

The service is overdue

Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few seconds, the spanner ﬂ ashes and the excess distance is displayed.

For further information, consult the CITROËN SERVICE site at the address: http://service.citroen.com

Operation

A few moments after the ignition has been switched on, the spanner indicating a service operation lights up; the display for the total distance recorder tells you (in round ﬁ gures) the distance remaining before the next service.

The points at which a service is due are calculated from the last indicator zero reset.

The point at which a service is due is determined by the distance travelled.

The distance remaining before the next service is less than 500 miles/1 000 km

Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few seconds, the spanner ﬂ ashes and the number of miles/ kilometres remaining is displayed:

With the engine running the spanner remains lit until the service has been carried out.

Instruments and controls

Zero re-set

Your CITROËN dealer carries out this operation after each service.

However, if you carry out the service yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:

- Switch off the ignition,

- Press and hold the trip recorder reset button,

- Switch on the ignition.

The display begins a countdown.

When the display shows " = 0 " , release the button; the spanner disappears.

Oil level correct

Lack of oil

Flashing of "OIL" , linked with the service warning light, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display, indicates a lack of oil which could damage the engine.

If the lack of oil is conﬁ rmed by a check using the dipstick, it is essential that the level is topped up.

After this operation, if you wish to disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle and wait for at least ﬁ ve minutes, otherwise the zero re-set will not be registered.

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for a few seconds, after the service information.

Dipstick

A = maximum, never exceed this level as a surplus of oil may damage the engine.

Contact a CITROËN dealer without delay.

B = minimum, top up the level via the oil ﬁ ller cap, using the type of oil suited to your engine.

Trip recorder zero reset button

With the ignition on, press the button until the zeros appear. Oil level gauge fault

Flashing of "OIL --" indicates a malfunction of the engine oil level gauge. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 15 minutes.

Lighting rheostat

With the lights on, press the button to vary the intensity of the lighting of the instruments and controls. When the lighting reaches the minimum (or maximum) setting, release the button then press it again to increase (or reduce) the brightness.

GEARBOXES AND STEERING WHEEL

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

The six-speed (Diesel engine)

"Porsche Tiptronic-system" automatic gearbox offers a choice between:

- the comfort of integral automatic operation

, enhanced by a snow programme,

- or the pleasure of manual gear changing .

Gear selection gate

- Move the lever in the gate to select a position. Once the position is selected, the corresponding indicator light appears on the instrument panel display.

To park the vehicle

(handbrake on) and start the engine.

Drive: position of the lever while driving.

To move the vehicle forwards in automatic mode.

Manual: selection of the gears by pressing the gear lever

(1 to 6).

To move the vehicle forwards in manual mode.

Gearbox and stearing wheel

Moving off

With the engine running, to move off from position P .

- It is essential to press the brake pedal to exit position

P ,

For immediate maximum acceleration without touching the gear lever, press the accelerator pedal down as far as it will go to the end of its travel passing the point of resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will automatically change down or maintain the gear selected until maximum engine speed is reached.

- select position R or D ,

On a descent, the gearbox will automatically change down in order to provide efﬁ cient engine braking and good re-acceleration.

- gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal; the vehicle moves off immediately.

You can also move off from position N .

Automatic mode

Automatic changing of the six gears .

- With your foot on the brake, release the handbrake,

- Select position D .

- select position , D or M ,

- gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal; the vehicle moves off immediately.

The gearbox always selects the most suitable gear according to the following parameters:

- the style of driving,

- the road proﬁ le,

- the vehicle load.

The gearbox is then operating in autoadaptive mode, without any action on your part.

If you take your foot off the accelerator suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a higher gear for reasons of safety.

When stationary with the gear lever in position D

(drive), a vibration limiting device is activated by pressing the brake pedal.

Manual mode

Manual changing of the gears by pressing.

- Select lever position M ,

- press the lever to the + sign to change to a higher gear, from 1 to 6,

- conversely, press the lever to the - sign to change to a lower gear.

You can change from position D

(automatic mode) to position M

(manual mode) at any time.

Gearbox and stearing wheel

Reverse gear

In manual mode, it is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit. If they do not, the vehicle will operate temporarily in automatic mode.

When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear 1.

The  (snow) programme does not operate in manual mode.

- Select position R , with the vehicle stationary and the engine at idle.

Stopping the vehicle, starting the engine

- Select position P to immobilise the vehicle or to start the engine , with the handbrake on or off.

If the battery is ﬂ at and the lever is in position P

, it will be impossible to change to another position.

- You can also select position

N to park or to start the engine

, with the handbrake on.

If position N is engaged inadvertently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle before engaging position D to accelerate.

Gearbox and stearing wheel

Snow programme

In addition to the automatic programme, there is a special

Snow programme.

This improves starting and drive when traction is poor. The snowﬂ ake appears on the instrument panel display.

- Press button  once the vehicle has been started and position selected.

The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads.

You can return to the automatic programme at any time.

- Press button  again to switch off the programme you are in.

Operating abnormality

Any operating abnormality is indicated by an audible signal, accompanied by the message "Automatic gear fault" on the display and ﬂ ashing of the Snow snowﬂ ake on the instrument panel.

In this situation the gearbox operates in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear).

You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P to R and from N to R

(this will not cause any damage to the gearbox).

Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping within the limit of local speed restrictions.

Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Good practice

Never select position N when the vehicle is moving.

Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is stationary.

Never change between positions to optimise braking on a slippery surface.

There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:

- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from position P to another position in the event of a battery failure.

When the engine is at idle, brakes not applied, if position R , D or M is selected the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed.

For this reason, do not leave children unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the engine running .

Steering wheel controls

CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"

"This is the speed at which the driver wishes to drive".

This aid to driving in free-ﬂ owing trafﬁ c enables the vehicle to maintain the speed programmed by the driver, unless a steep gradient makes this impossible.

In order for it to be programmed or activated, the vehicle speed must be greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at least 4th gear engaged in the case of vehicles ﬁ tted with a manual gearbox.

On vehicles ﬁ tted with an automatic gearbox, the lever must be in position

(Drive) or at least 2nd gear must be engaged in manual mode.

If the vehicle is ﬁ tted with a speed limiter and cruise control (according to the country in which the vehicle is sold and the engine), these functions cannot be activated at the same time.

This cruise control shows the function selection status on the instrument panel and displays the programmed speed:

Function selected,

displaying of the

"Cruise Control" symbol.

Function deactivated,

OFF (example at

65 mph (107 km/h)).

Function activated

(example at 65 mph

(107 km/h)).

Vehicle speed above

(e.g. 70 mph

(118 km/h)),

the programmed speed is displayed ﬂ ashing.

Operating fault detected,

OFF - the dashes ﬂ ash.

Steering wheel controls

Selecting the function

- Place the switch in the CRUISE position. The cruise control is selected but is not yet active and no speed has been programmed.

Temporary exceeding of the speed

It is possible to accelerate

and drive momentarily at a speed greater than the programmed speed. The value programmed ﬂ ashes.

When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the programmed speed.

Reactivation

- Following deactivation of the cruise control, press this button.

Your vehicle will return to the last programmed speed.

Alternatively, you can repeat the "ﬁ rst activation" procedure.

First activation/ programming a speed

- Reach the chosen speed by pressing the accelerator.

- Press the SET or

SET + button .

This programmes/activates the reference speed and the vehicle will maintain this speed.

Deactivation (off)

- Press this button or the brake or clutch pedal.

Steering wheel controls

Changing the programmed speed

There are two methods of memorising a speed higher than the previous one:

Without using the accelerator:

- press the Set + button.

A brief press increases the speed by

1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press increases the speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Using the accelerator:

- exceed the memorised speed until the speed required is reached,

- press the Set + or Set button.

Switching the function off

- Place the dial in position

0 or switch off the ignition to switch everything off.

Cancelling the programmed reference speed

When the vehicle becomes stationary, after switching off the ignition, the system no longer memorises a speed.

Good practice

When changing the programmed reference speed by means of a maintained press, pay attention as the speed can increase or decrease rapidly.

Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy trafﬁ c.

In the event of a steep slope, the cruise control cannot prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.

In any event, the cruise control cannot replace the need to observe the speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.

You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals.

To avoid any jamming under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat and its ﬁ xings on the ﬂ oor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another

To memorise a speed lower than the previous one:

- press the Set button.

A brief press decreases the speed by

1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press decreases the speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared and the dashes ﬂ ash for a few seconds.

Consult a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"

"This is the selected speed which the driver does not wish to exceed".

This selection is made with the engine running while stationary or with the vehicle moving. The minimum speed which can be programmed is 20 mph

(30 km/h).

The speed of the vehicle responds to the pressure of the driver's foot as far as the accelerator pedal point of resistance which indicates that the programmed speed has been reached.

However, pressing the pedal beyond this point of resistance to the ﬂ oor permits exceeding of the programmed speed.

To resume use of the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on the accelerator pedal gradually and return to a speed below that programmed.

If the vehicle is ﬁ tted with a speed limiter and cruise control (according to the country in which the vehicle is sold and the engine), these functions cannot be activated at the same time .

The operating actions can be carried out when stationary, with the engine running, or with the vehicle moving.

Steering wheel controls

This speed limiter shows the function selection status on the instrument panel and displays the programmed speed:

Function selected, displaying of the

"Speed Limiter" symbol.

Function deactivated, last programmed speed - OFF

(example at 65 mph

(107 km/h)).

Function activated

(example at 65 mph

(107 km/h)).

Vehicle speed above

(example at 70 mph

(118 km/h)), the programmed speed is displayed ﬂ ashing.

Operating fault detected, OFF - the dashes ﬂ ash.

Steering wheel controls

Selecting the function

- Place the dial in the

LIMIT position.

The limiter is selected but is not yet active. The display indicates the last programmed speed.

Programming a speed

A speed can be programmed without activating the limiter but with the engine running.

To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:

- press the Set + button.

A brief press increases the speed by

1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press increases the speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).

To memorise a speed lower than the previous one:

- press the Set button.

A brief press decreases the speed by

1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press decreases the speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Activation/Deactivation (off)

Pressing this button once activates the limiter, pressing the button again deactivates it (OFF).

Steering wheel controls

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to exceed the programmed speed will have no effect unless you press the pedal ﬁ rmly beyond the point of resistance .

The limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed ﬂ ashes.

To return to the limiter function, reduce your speed to below the programmed speed.

Switching the function off

- Place the dial in position

0 or switch off the ignition to switch the system off. The last programmed speed remains in the memory.

Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared and the dashes ﬂ ash for a few seconds.

Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.

Flashing of the speed

The speed ﬂ ashes:

- following forcing of the accelerator point of resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent an increase in the vehicle speed due to the proﬁ le of the road or on a steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.

Good practice

In any event, the speed limiter cannot replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.

Always pay attention to the proﬁ le of the road, take care on sharp acceleration and stay in complete control of your vehicle.

To avoid any jamming under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat and its ﬁ xings positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.

Ventilation

VENTILATION

CORRECT USE OF THE

VENTILATION AND AIR

CONDITIONING

Vents

"Leave them open"

For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot or cool air in the passenger compartment, there are adjustable central and side vents which can be directed sideways (right or left) towards the top of the body. For your comfort while driving, do not close them, direct the ﬂ ow of air towards the windows instead.

The air vents directed towards the ﬂ oor of the vehicle complete the equipment.

Passenger compartment filter, carbon filter

Ensure that this ﬁ lter is in good condition and have all of the ﬁ lter elements replaced regularly.

Refer to the "Checks" section of chapter 6.

Air conditioning

In all seasons, the air conditioning should only be used with the windows closed. However, if the interior temperature remains high after a prolonged period parked in the sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes.

Use the AUTO mode as much as possible as it permits optimised control of all of the functions: air ﬂ ow, passenger compartment comfort temperature, air distribution, air intake mode or air recirculation in the passenger compartment.

Operate the air conditioning system for

5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep it in perfect working order.

It is normal that the condensation created by the air conditioning system results in a ﬂ ow of water which may form a puddle under the vehicle when parked.

If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and consult a CITROËN dealer.

Ventilation

DE-ICING AND DEMISTING

De-icing the rear screen and mirrors

Press this button, with the engine running, to de-ice the rear screen and mirrors.

When the engine is cold, in order to prevent a rush of cold air, the ventilation will reach its optimum level progressively.

The "AUTO"

symbol is displayed.

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located in the centre of the fascia.

This is used to regulate the air conditioning.

For your comfort, the settings selected when the ignition is switched off will be retained when it is switched on again, if the temperature in the passenger compartment has not changed signiﬁ cantly; otherwise, operation will resume in automatic mode.

They can operate with the ignition off.

Automatic lighting of hazard warning lights

Equipment conditioned according to country: when braking in an emergency, depending on the deceleration, the hazard warning lights come on automatically. They switch off automatically the ﬁ rst time you accelerate.

It is also possible to switch them off by pressing the button.

FRONT AND/OR REAR

PARKING ASSISTANCE

If ﬁ tted on your vehicle, the system is audible and/or visual and consists of four proximity sensors, located in the front and/or rear bumper. The sensors detect any obstacle which enters the ﬁ eld: person, vehicle, tree, gate, located in front of or behind the vehicle during the manoeuvre.

Objects the size or thickness of which is detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre, may no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre: due to blind spots between and below the sensors. Examples: stake, roadworks cone, kerbstone.

This system does not take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

Switching the system on

The system is activated as soon as:

- reverse gear is engaged,

- the speed falls below 6 mph

(10 km/h) in forward gear.

This is accompanied by an audible signal and displaying of the vehicle, depending on the display.

The proximity information is given by:

- an audible signal, which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle,

- a graphic on the display, with blocks which become progressively closer to the vehicle.

The obstacle is located in relation to the emission of the audible signal from the speakers, front or rear and right or left.

Parking assistance

When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous and the "Danger" symbol appears depending on the display.

Switching the system off

The system returns to the inactive status:

- when you exit reverse gear,

- when the speed increases to above

6 mph (10 km/h),

- at the end of the manoeuvre, when the vehicle becomes stationary

(front parking assistance only).

Deactivation

Press the button on the fascia to deactivate the system

(to avoid waking a child...).

The indicator light on the button comes on.

This function will be deactivated automatically when the vehicle is towing a trailer or when a bicycle carrier is ﬁ tted (vehicle ﬁ tted with towing attachment or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).

RE-ACTIVATION

Press the button again to re-activate the system. The indicator light on the button switches off.

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, frost or snow.

In this case (e.g. sensors dirty), when reverse gear is engaged, the indicator light ﬂ ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display.

Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Driving safety

When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved.

The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of wheel lock.

When this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buzzer and a message, it indicates that there is a malfunction of the ABS, which can cause a loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be reached more quickly, press the pedal ﬁ rmly without releasing it.

It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is activated.

This alters the resistance of the brake pedal under your foot.

To prolong the operation of the emergency braking assistance system: keep your foot on the brake pedal.

HORN

Press one of the spokes of the steering wheel.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

(ABS) AND ELECTRONIC

BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION

(EBFD)

The ABS, in conjunction with the electronic brake force distribution, increases the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on braking, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.

When this warning light comes on, connected to the STOP warning light, accompanied by a buzzer and a message, it indicates that there is a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution, which can cause a loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

Stop immediately.

In both cases, consult a CITROËN dealer.

Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press very ﬁ rmly without releasing the pressure.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)

AND DYNAMIC STABILITY

CONTROL (ESP)

Driving safety

They engage again:

- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),

- manually by pressing the switch again.

These systems are linked and complement the ABS.

The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of the drive wheels and on the engine. It also allows the directional stability of the vehicle to be improved on acceleration.

If there is a variation between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the ESP system automatically acts on the engine and the brake of one or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle back on course, within the limits of the laws of physics.

Activation of the ASR and ESP systems

When the ignition is on, the ASR and

ESP systems are always active.

Operation of the ASR and

ESP systems

The warning light ﬂ ashes if the ASR or ESP is activated.

Operating check

Disarming the ASR/ESP systems

In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in mud or snow, or on loose ground...), it could prove useful to disarm the ASR and ESP systems to make the wheels spin and regain grip.

- Press the switch, situated under the steering wheel on the right of the fascia.

The indicator light comes on accompanied by a message: the ESP and ASR systems no longer act on the engine operation, but continue to act on the brakes.

When a malfunction of the systems occurs, the indicator light comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display.

Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased safety during normal driving, but should not incite the driver to take risks or to drive at high speed.

The operation of these systems is ensured if the recommendations of the manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the ﬁ tting and repair procedures within the CITROËN network are observed.

After an impact, have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Driving safety

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION

DETECTION

Sensors check the tyre pressure during driving, and trigger a warning in the event of a malfunction (speed greater than approx.15 mph [25 km/h]) or puncture.

An outline representing one or more wheels ﬂ ashing indicates the location of the wheel or wheels concerned.

Flat tyre

The SERVICE warning light comes on, accompanied and an audible signal.

"Tyre(s) deﬂ ated"

, an outline on the display,

Check the tyre pressure as soon as possible.

Puncture

The STOP warning light comes on, accompanied by the message

"Punctured tyre(s)" , an outline on the display and an audible signal.

Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.

Change the damaged (punctured or very deﬂ ated) tyre, and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.

Refer to the "Changing a wheel" section of chapter 7.

If the damaged tyre is temporarily stored in the boot, it will again emit this message to remind you of the necessity of having it repaired. This will prevent another warning of the same type being displayed.

Sensor(s) not detected

The SERVICE warning light comes on, accompanied pressure sensor(s) missing" , an outline on the display and an audible signal.

Under-inﬂ ation detection is absent from one (or several) tyre(s). Consult a

CITROËN dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s).

This message is also displayed when one of the tyres is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when a wheel without a sensor is ﬁ tted.

All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel ﬁ tted with this system must be carried out by a

CITROËN dealer.

The tyre under-inﬂ ation detection system is a driving aid which does not take the place of the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver.

This system does not remove the need to have the tyre pressure checked regularly (including the spare wheel), to ensure that the dynamic performance of the vehicle remains at its best and to avoid premature wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of arduous driving (heavy load, high speed).

The system may temporarily be disturbed by radio broadcasts on a frequency close to it.

Seat belts

The force-limiting device reduces the pressure of the seat belt against the chest of the occupant, so increasing his protection.

SEAT BELTS

FRONT AND REAR SIDE

SEAT BELTS

The front seats and the rear side seats of row 2 are ﬁ tted with pre-tensioners and force limiters.

To adjust the height

- To lower the attachment point, squeeze control and slide it downwards.

- To raise the attachment point, slide control upwards.

To fasten

- Pull the strap, then insert the buckle into the stalk.

- Check that the seat belt is secured correctly by pulling the strap.

The lap strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis. The chest strap must pass over the hollow of the shoulder.

Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.

Inertia reel seat belts

These are ﬁ tted with a device which locks the seat belt automatically in the event of an impact or emergency braking.

Safety in the event of a frontal impact has been improved by the introduction of pre-tensioning and force-limiting seat belts. Depending on the seriousness of the impact, the pre-tensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts ﬁ rmly against the body of the occupant.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are armed when the ignition is on.

Front seat belt warning light

If the driver and/or front passenger has/have not fastened his/their seat belt, this warning light comes on.

Then, at a speed in excess of approximately 15 mph (25 km/h), it ﬂ ashes accompanied by an audible signal of increasing volume (for approximately

90 seconds) and a message on the display.

A bag placed on the front passenger seat or a pet sitting on this seat may trigger the lighting of this warning light.

Row 2 rear side seat belts

For your comfort, if you are not using the seat belt, slide the seat belt loop to the upper stop to prevent the tongue from vibrating.

Row 3 rear side seat belts

The row 3 rear side seats are ﬁ tted with two seat belts which are both three-point inertia reel belts with force limiter.

Seat belts

To install the seat belt, move the tongue into position to insert it into the buckle.

Row 2 and 3 rear centre seat belts

The row 2 rear centre seat and the rear bench seat centre seat have an integrated three-point inertia reel seat belt.

Good practice

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all strapped in securely before moving off.

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

The seat belts are ﬁ tted with an inertia reel which automatically adjusts the length of the strap to your size.

Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips, safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance with the seat belt straps.

Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up correctly after use.

After folding or moving a seat or a rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is rolled up correctly and that the buckle is ready to accommodate the tongue.

Depending on the nature and seriousness of any impact, the pretensioning device may be triggered before and independently of inﬂ ation of the air bags. It instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.

Triggering 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.

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt against the body of the occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is switched on.

The inertia reels are ﬁ tted with a device which automatically locks the strap in the event of a collision or emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over.

You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing the red button on the buckle.

Guide the seat belt after unfastening.

The air bag warning light comes on if the pretensioners are triggered.

Consult a CITROËN dealer.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in front of you with an even movement, be tightened as close to the body as possible.

The upper part of the seat belt should be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.

The lap part should be placed as low as possible on the pelvis.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they will not fulﬁ l their role completely.

If the seats are ﬁ tted with armrests, the lap part of the seat belt should always pass under the armrest.

Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap ﬁ rmly.

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 allow a child to travel on your lap, even with the seat belt fastened.

For further information regarding child seats, refer to the "Children on board" section of chapter 4.

In accordance with current safety regulations, your CITROËN dealer guarantees all work or any checks, from testing to maintenance, on your seat belt equipment.

Have the seat belts checked regularly

(even after a minor impact) by a

CITROËN dealer: they must not show any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they must not be transformed or modiﬁ ed.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN dealers.

Air bags

Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on.

This equipment only operates once.

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

The triggering of an air bag or air bags is accompanied by a slight discharge 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 some irritation.

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

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupants

(with the exception of the centre seats of rows 2 and 3) in the event of a serious collision; they work in conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts suffered in the impact detection zones:

- in the event of a serious impact, the air bags inﬂ ate instantly and protect the occupants of the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air bags deﬂ ate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the visibility of the occupants nor their possible exit from the vehicle:

- in the event of a minor or rear impact and in certain roll-over conditions, the air bags will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is sufﬁ cient to provide maximum protection in these situations.

The seriousness of the collision depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of impact.

It is imperative that the passenger air bag is disarmed if a child seat is installed facing rearwards. Refer to the "Children on board" section of chapter 4.

Air bags

Good practice

If your vehicle is ﬁ tted with a front passenger air bag, side air bags or curtain air bags, observe this good practice.

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 strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualiﬁ ed personnel of the CITROËN network .

Side air bags

Only put approved covers 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 when the side air bag inﬂ ates.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

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.

Curtain air bags

Do not ﬁ x or glue anything to the roof.

This could cause injury to the head when the curtain air bag inﬂ ates.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing the curtain air bags.

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 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.

Air bags

To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passenger air bag when you install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being killed or seriously injured if the air bag were to inﬂ ate.

Front air bags

The front air bags are incorporated in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in the fascia for the front passenger.

Activation

They are deployed simultaneously, unless the passenger's front air bag has been 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 directed from the front towards 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.

Disarming

The passenger's front air bag alone can be disarmed:

- With the ignition switched off , insert the key into the passenger air bag disarming switch, turn it to the "OFF" position,

- then remove the key keeping the slot in this position.

The air bag warning light on the instrument panel is lit throughout the period of disarming.

Reactivation

In the "OFF" position, the passenger air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact.

As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the air bag slot to the "ON" position to re-activate the air bag and thus ensure the safety of your passenger in the event of an impact.

Front air bag fault

If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display, consult a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.

If the two air bag warning lights are lit continuously, do not install a rear-facing child seat. Consult a
