Citroën Jumpy

SAFETY, A VITAL CONCERN Minivan and combi van users are increasingly concerned about safety.
In response to that concern, the Jumpy’s architecture and safety and comfort features have been significantly upgraded.
These enhancements give the Jumpy superior standing in its market in terms of road manners, occupant protection and loading.

First-class dynamic qualities The Jumpy’s running gear has been optimised to provide constant stability, responsiveness, steering precision and vehicle movement control, regardless of load conditions.
The front suspension is of the McPherson wishbone type with an anti-roll bar. This choice improves roadholding, driving comfort and reduces wear on tyres.
The rear axle has a semi-flexible transverse beam with an offset Panhard bar, which makes the Jumpy extremely comfortable, safe and dynamic, even during heavy loads and intensive use. Pneumatic suspension, optional on all models, guarantees optimal road manners regardless of load.
The new Jumpy has two kinds of power steering, depending on the engine.
The HDi 90 engine comes with variable “decreasing-flow” power steering. The other engines have electro-hydraulic steering whose power depends on the speed of the vehicle and steering wheel rotation. As well as making driving pleasurable, electro-hydraulic steering reduces fuel consumption.
The new Jumpy has 16’’ wheels for all the vehicles except the 1,000 kg short van version (L1H1) with an HDi 90 engine.
The Jumpy’s braking system is sized to optimise reliability, efficiency and endurance. It features front and rear disc brakes (except on the 1,000 kg short van version (L1H1) with an HDi 90 engine, which has rear drum brakes).
The Jumpy has ABS with EBS fitted as standard, and ESP as an option in some countries. ESP also includes an anti-rollover function.

Even better protection The Jumpy has all the essential qualities in terms of occupant protection and impact resistance. The passenger area has been resized for extra strength and optimal impact energy distribution.
The new Jumpy offers a high degree of protection with:
- a reinforced cantrail line,
- a front bumper with an integrated metal beam and impact absorbers,
- a reinforced interface between the cradle and the body,
- optimised sizing of the front axles,
- an efficient system to attach the engine to the cradle,
- a steering column that retracts over 80 mm.
The front seatbelts feature pyrotechnic pretensioners and force limiters that limit physical constraints in the event of impact. They are also height-adjustable so that all users can drive the Jumpy in comfort. The driver’s seat is also fitted as standard with a seatbelt warning system. A warning light, followed by an alarm, warns the driver if he/she has forgotten to fasten his/her seatbelt.
On the combi versions, the side seats in rows 2 and 3 at the rear have Isofix anchor points, which allow child seats to be fitted.
Passengers also reap the benefits of the new Jumpy’s upgrades in terms of passive safety. A total of six airbags are available: a driver’s airbag as standard and an optional front passenger airbag, side airbags and curtain airbags.
Special attention has been paid to anti-break-in and anti-theft devices. Separate locking of the front and rear areas is one example. The ability to use the loading area while the cabin is locked offers Jumpy users security and peace of mind.
The new Jumpy also features 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. The Jumpy has scored Thatcham’s top five-star rating.
