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 automatically
activated hazard warning lights 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 Techno Pack versions to guard against
intruders, the Citroën C5 is reassuringly defended.
HARNESSING PROTECTION
Even the most basic details – such as seat belts – have
been thoroughly considered. The Citroën C5’s front seat
belts are height-adjustable and tted with force-limiters.
Isox anchor points are also standard – with two on either
side of the rear seat. All of which makes the Citroën C5
an exceptionally secure place for adults and children.
