PROTECTIVE FORCE.
PACKED WITH CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY, THE CITROËN C5 DOES EVERYTHING IT CAN TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTS. OF COURSE IF ONE DOES HAPPEN, REST ASSURED YOU AND YOUR
PASSENGERS ARE SURROUNDED BY ONE OF THE FINEST PROTECTIVE BODY-SHELLS ON THE ROAD.
PROACTIVE SAFETY
Safety is not optional on the Citroën C5, with a lengthy
standard of accident-avoiding technology putting you in control.
It has an advanced braking system with Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD), Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA),
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP) so you can stay on guard in all conditions.
And if you do nd yourself in an unexpectedly hairy situation,
you can rely on sophisticated added safety measures –
such as traction control and hazard warning lights activated
automatically when the ABS operates.
ADAPT TO IMPACT
With a reinforced outer shell, the Citroën C5 has been
designed for endurance as well as performance. The front
end features upper and lower energy absorbers which
provide cushioning on impact, while the cabin structure is
also reinforced to create a strong passenger survival cell.
In the Citroën C5, you and your passengers are obsessively
protected from every direction – with up to nine airbags
cushioning against front, side and head impact. In the passenger
seat, there’s optional airbag de-activation and importantly for
the driver, not only does the steering column retract by 65mm,
but thanks to the xed-centred controls steering wheel, your
airbag always deploys at the safest possible angle.
STRENGTH AND POISE
Even when it’s stopped, the Citroën C5 doesn’t sleep. It’s
constantly on alert for dangerous situations, with anti-theft alarm
and deadlocks tted as standard. Automatic re-locking after 30
seconds gives you extra peace of mind, and with protective
laminated side windows tted on Exclusive models to guard
against intruders, the Citroën C5 is reassuringly defended.
