When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Operating fault

instrument panel display, they indicate a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle on braking.

Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor

seconds when the ignition is switched
on (ON position). If it does not switch
off or does not come on, contact a
CITROËN dealer.

on continuously it indicates
a malfunction of the anti-lock
braking system which could
result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-
hicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
