Gearbox and steering wheel
Reverse gear
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear. If your vehicle is fitted with parking
assistance, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged and
an audible signal is heard.
Refer to the “Rear parking assistance”
section of chapter 3.
ADJUSTING THE STEERING WHEEL MANUAL GEARBOX
Good practice
When the vehicle is stationary, unlock the
steering wheel by pushing the lever down.
Adjust the depth and height of the steering
wheel, then lock by pulling the lever up fully.
To change gear easily, always press the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

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.

CAB SEAT BELTS
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners
and force limiters.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
The lap belt must be positioned as low as
possible on the pelvis. The chest belt must
pass over the hollow of the shoulder.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
Inertia reel seat belts
These are fitted with a device which locks
automatically in the event of a collision or
emergency braking.
Safety in the event of a front impact has
been improved by the introduction of
pretensioning and force limiting seat belts.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belt against the body of the
occupant.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupant in
the event of an accident.
Driver ’s seat belt not fastened warning light
When the vehicle is started, this
warning light comes on if the
driver has not fastened his seat
belt.
REAR SEAT BELTS (COMBI)

seat belts with force limiting reels.
The centre seat has a guide and a reel,
connected to the seat backrest.
When a seat belt is not in use, you
can store its buckle in the storage
space provided in the seat cushion of the
