New Citroën Jumper

Safety: a priority at all times

Remarkable dynamic qualities

The new Jumper addresses the safety issue as a whole, from on-board comfort (for full driver concentration) to impact resistance.
The new model features completely redesigned structural architecture, placing it among the leaders in its category both for its road manners and for its ability to protect passengers and their load.
The Jumper's running gear is particularly well designed, with a view to optimising suspension comfort, on-road stability and admissible load.
The front suspension is of the McPherson wishbone type with an anti-roll bar. The front axle with independent wheels optimises road behaviour and comfort in use.
The Jumper also gains single-leaf or (optional) dual-leaf suspension. Looking beyond the issue of weight gain, this feature improves acoustic comfort. All models feature optional pneumatic self-levelling suspension at the rear.
The comfort-in-use of the new Jumper is also illustrated by the presence of variable-power steering as standard, except on the 100 bhp engine, which has fixed power steering.
For the other engines, the level of assistance depends on vehicle speed: significant at low engine speeds for easy manoeuvring, lower at higher engine speeds for greater precision and driveability.
The wheels of the new Jumper are equipped with 15-inch tyres for vehicles of between 3 t. and 3.5 t. and 16-inch tyres for vehicles of between 3.5 t. and 4 t.
The braking system of the new Jumper has been resized for improved efficiency, endurance and reliability. All models are fitted as standard with four disc brakes. The parking brake function is provided by small additional drums integrated in the rear brakes.
The Jumper also features ABS and EBA (emergency braking assistance) as standard, with optional traction control and ESP.
At the same time, the optional ESP provides assistance for hill starts. In addition to the driving comfort provided, this feature contributes to safety since it provides valuable assistance in difficult manoeuvres. The driver is able to handle the vehicle more easily.
At the same time, the overspeed warning (standard) allows the driver to set a maximum speed. If he or she exceeds this speed, a sound signal is emitted, an indicator lights up and a message is displayed on the instrument cluster.
This feature provides peace of mind for all types of journey.

Protection at all times

In terms of passenger protection and impact resistance, the new Jumper possesses all the qualities required. The passenger compartment is designed to provide maximum protection for the occupants. Its robust design and sizing controls the energy released in the event of impact.
This high level of protection is provided by:

• a reinforced cantrail line,
• a front bumper with an integrated metal beam and impact absorbers,
• optimised sizing of the front axles,
• an engine compartment layout reorganised to move hard objects, in order to limit intrusions into the cabin and driver injury,
• stiffer front doors to provide greater overall stiffness (interlinked front and central pillars),
• optimised front overhang,
• an efficient system to attach the engine to the cradle,
• the battery now placed under the cabin floor.

The height-adjustable front seatbelts feature pyrotechnic pretensioners and force limiters that limit physical constraints in the event of impact. Failure to attach the seatbelt activates a warning. The indicator on the instrument cluster is linked to a sound signal. In this way, the driver receives systematic warning of an omission that could compromise his or her safety.
Passengers also reap the benefits of the new Jumper's upgrades in terms of passive safety. A total of six airbags are available in all: a driver's airbag as standard and an optional front passenger airbag, side airbags and curtain airbags.
The new Jumper also boasts a wide array of safety equipment to make it easier for the driver to cope with difficult situations and to protect the cargo.
To prevent break-ins, the vehicle no longer has interior locking knobs. They are replaced by a button on the central section of the dashboard. The driver pushes the button once to lock all doors, and again to unlock them.
The armrest on the driver's door includes a function to lock and unlock the loading area, with no impact on the cabin doors.
The new Jumper also features deadlocking as standard. A red LED, visible from the outside, shows that this function is active. The vehicle is also fitted with an engine immobiliser and transponder as standard.
A perimetric alarm and tow-away protection are optional. To make it easier to find a stolen vehicle, the chassis number is printed at the bottom of the windscreen.
Automatic headlights and wipers are optional.
Thanks to its structural upgrades and to the systems provided to protect both passengers and cargo, the new Jumper allows users to go about their work efficiently and with complete peace of mind.

Equipment that makes all the difference

Depending on the version, the new Jumper offers functions never before seen in this category. One level of trim is available for LCV versions and two for car versions. Generally speaking, these features are designed to give the driver greater control over the vehicle and to enhance driveability.
Options include a speed limiter, electronic parking assistance with reversing sensors, and a colour TV camera at the rear, sending images to the central rearview mirror. To allow the driver to manoeuvre safely, this camera is activated when the driver puts the vehicle into reverse at low speeds.
The new Jumper places particular emphasis on thermal comfort, to meet the needs of specific driving conditions.
The ventilation and heating rely on a system of multiple, adjustable central and side air vents. Controlled by two functions on the dashboard, these systems are intuitive to use. The main improvements compared with previous versions of the Jumper concern: optimised air circulation and diffusion, perfect temperature control, and silent operation.
The air conditioning is available in two versions: one manual and one fully automatic, for comfort and ease of use. At the same time, particular emphasis has been placed on the climatic comfort of rear passengers in combi versions. Placed at the rear of the vehicle, a special manifold with individual outlets ensures passenger comfort.
The Jumper also features a complete audio/telematics offering for the era of communicating LCVs.
The offering includes a dashboard-mounted single CD with or without MP3, Bluetooth telephone pre-equipment, and Bluetooth telephone pre-equipment with navigation and fleet management functions.
On top of this rich offering, the Jumper offers a number of modern, well adapted accessories, including:

• loading rollers,
• interior floor protection,
• a protective grid for animals,
• -a removable trailer coupling,
• a ladder,
• rear proximity detectors.
