THE CITROËN DS4: A 5-STAR CAR RECOGNISED BY EURO NCAP ADVANCED

The Citroën DS4 has not only achieved a 5-star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests with a score of 97% for its assistance systems. It has also received the Euro NCAP Advanced award, like the Citroën C5, New C4 and DS3 before it. An award that confirms the Marque’s commitment to creative technologies that are useful every day.

The Citroën DS4 delivers a dynamic ride with no trade-off in safety or comfort. 
Safety is a key concern with an array of driving aids as standard, including electronic brakeforce assistance, emergency brakeforce assistance, intelligent traction control and ESP. Looking beyond ride qualities, the cabin also places the emphasis on safety with six airbags as standard (driver, front passenger, side and curtain). 

Comfort is also to the fore, with a top score in driver assistance systems. The Citroën DS4 ships with innovative, intelligent features delivering comfort and relaxation for the driver, passengers and others.

For example:

• the blind spot monitoring system. An innovative function that activates an orange light positioned in the angle of the mirror when it detects a vehicle in the driver’s blind spot;
• programmable speed limiter and cruise control. The driver can save up to five speed settings and find them easily on the road when speed limits change. 

The Citroën DS4 also received a Euro NCAP Advanced  award for its Citroën eTouch service. This award recognises innovative systems that increase safety while being available to the greatest number. 

Citroën eTouch is a range of innovative onboard services including emergency and assistance calls (depending on the country). These two free services, available 24/7, use an integrated SIM card. If an incident occurs or if the driver suffers or witnesses an accident, the vehicle can be located rapidly and the emergency services sent out.

Citroën eTouch also includes two services available online from the customer’s personal My CITROEN page: a virtual maintenance manual and EcoDriving. Drivers  receive advice on mechanical or safety incidents and on upcoming maintenance operations. They can also track their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. These services are free throughout the vehicle’s contractual warranty period.
