PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake to immobilise your
vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle. If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning light which
comes on on the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels
towards the pavement and pull the parking
brake. There is no advantage in engaging a
gear after parking the vehicle, particularly if
the vehicle is loaded.
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button to lower
the parking brake.
HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Press this button, the two direction
indicators flash.
They operate with the ignition off.
When the hazard warning lights are switched
on, the change of direction function, via the
right-hand or left-hand direction indicator, is
deactivated.

HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS system improves vehicle stability
and handling during braking, particularly on
surfaces with poor adhesion (e.g. damaged
or slippery road surfaces).
Note : when changing a wheel (tyres
and rims), ensure that they meet the
manufacturer ’s requirements.
The anti-locking system automatically
intervenes when there is a risk of the wheels
locking.
The normal functioning of the ABS system
may be indicated by light vibrations on the
brake pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
hard on the brake pedal without releasing
the force.
If the ABS warning lamp lights
up on the instrument panel, this
indicates a malfunction of the ABS
system, which could lead to a loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not permit shorter
braking. On very slippery road surfaces
(ice, oil, etc.) the ABS may lengthen the
braking distances. In emergency braking,
do not hesitate to press the brake pedal
firmly, without releasing the pressure, even
on slippery roads, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.

SAFETY
Air bags
For the air bags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation
of the air bags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the air bag
systems checked.
All work on the air bag systems is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by the
qualified personnel of a CITROËN dealer .
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight burns
to the head, chest or arms when an air bag
is triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag inflates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then deflates within the
same time, discharging the hot gas through
openings provided for this purpose.
Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of
the air bags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the seats.
These will not hinder the triggering of the
side air bags. Consult a CITROËN dealer .
Do not fix or glue anything to the seat backs.
This could cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side air bag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

Air bags
FRONT AIR BAGS
The front air bags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver
and in the fascia for the front passenger.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger ’s front air bag has been
disarmed, in the event of a serious front
impact.
The front air bag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement.
Disarming
The passenger ’s front air bag alone can be
disarmed. The air bag is disarmed from the
trip computer. The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming. To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to inflate.
Refer to the “MENU” section of chapter
3, then select OFF on the “Passenger
air bag” menu.
Operating fault
If the two air bag warning lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Consult a CITROËN dealer . If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
consult a CITROËN dealer without delay
to have the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the event of a
serious impact.

ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
