Presentation Style Engines Equipments Safety Safety is an ever-present and legitimate concern of the customer. Citroën's overall approach to safety is to do everything possible to avoid accidents in all circumstances, in particular by making the driver more responsible. The aim is to provide the driver with information and assistance to enable him to take the right decisions while concentrating on his driving. If, despite all this, an accident should occur, the occupants are offered maximum protection by a strengthened passenger compartment and a series of additional devices and systems. Optimised controlParticularly safe behaviour Particular attention was paid to the suspension, endowing the C3 with safe behaviour and clean, surprise-free responses. The front suspension is a pseudo-McPherson type with coil springs and hydraulic shock absorbers. The all-new design of the rear suspension includes a deformable cross-member and hydraulic shock-absorbers. This definition offers the best compromise between comfort and dynamic performance. High-performance braking C3 has a braking system consisting of front disks (ventilated on the 1.6i 16V and 1.4 Hdi 16V), rear disks (1.6i 16V), a 4-sensor ABS and electronic brakeforce distribution guaranteeing good braking stability. A feeling of well-being optimising driver responsiveness The remarkable silence in the C3, the natural and obvious layout of the controls, the design of the seats and the relaxing driving position (height and reach-adjustable steering wheel, height-adjustable driver's seat, adjustable height and angle for the driver and front passenger headrests), the semi-raised seating position offering a good view of the road, and excellent peripheral vision through the glazed surfaces guarantee the feeling of well-being in the C3. Everything is therefore in place to prevent driver distraction and promote concentration. More numerous and effective protection systemsHigh impact resistance and occupant protection C3 benefits from an all-new platform, which has led to further optimisation of safety and compliance with the harshest impact tasks, in particular those of EuroNcap. Citroën C3 has six airbags (front, side and curtain) to protect the driver and the passengers in the front and the back. The fuel feed is cut if at least one of the six airbags deploys. The height of the front seatbelts can be adjusted and they are equipped with pyrotechnic pretensioners with stress limiters, in order to reduce the pressure on the thorax in the event of an impact, further increasing the level of protection; At the back, the three belts are all 3-point. An excellent protection C3 enjoys excellent protection against theft and break-in. The new generation coded immobiliser, already in use on the C5, central door and rear hatch locking, the high-frequency remote-control associated with a transponder, automatic door relocking in the event of tampering and automatic boot locking as soon as the vehicle begins to move, are among the arrangements used to protect the C3. |
