ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
CITROËN. If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
Stop immediately.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display, it
indicates a malfunction of the ABS
which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

Air bags
SAFETY

Good practice
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 system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the CITROËN network. Side air bags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation 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.
Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the fascia, they risk serious injury if the
air bag is triggered.
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.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor 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 via openings
provided for this purpose. Curtain air bags
Do not fix or glue anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head when the
curtain air bag inflates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, they play a part in securing the
curtain air bags.

Disarming
The passenger's front air bag alone can be
disarmed:
- With the ignition switched off , insert
the key into the passenger air bag
disarming switch,
- turn it to the "OFF" position,
- then remove the key keeping the slot in this position. 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. Reactivation
In the
"OFF" position, the passenger air
bag will not be triggered in the event of an
impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the
air bag slot to the "ON" position to re-activate
the air bag and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact. 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.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front air bag has been
disarmed, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or part of the front
impact zone
A in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed
from the front towards the rear of the vehicle.
The front air bag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.
If the two air bag warning lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
The temporary tyre repair kit consists of
a compressor and a bottle (containing a
sealant).
Using the kit
1. Tick the deflated wheel on the speed
limitation sticker then affix the sticker to
the vehicle’s steering wheel to remind
you that a wheel is in temporary use.
2. Clip the bottle 1 on the compressor 2 .
3. Connect the bottle 1 to the valve of the
tyre to be repaired.
4. Take care to unwind the compressor
pipe before connecting it to the bottle.
5. Connect the power lead to one of the
vehicle’s 12 V sockets.
6. Switch on the compressor by pressing
button A until the tyre pressure reaches
2.0 bars. If this pressure cannot be
reached, the tyre cannot be repaired.
7. Remove and store the compressor.
8. Drive immediately, for a few miles
(kilometres), at reduced speed, to fill the
puncture.
9. Adjust the pressure using the
compressor in accordance with the
recommendation for the vehicle and
check that the leak is filled correctly (no
further loss of pressure).
10. Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h]). The tyre must be examined
and repaired by a professional as soon
as possible. After use, the bottle can be stored in a
plastic bag, supplied in the kit, to avoid
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid.
Warning: the bottle of gel contains
ethylene-glycol, a product which is
harmful if swallowed and which causes
irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the bottle into the
environment, take it to a CITROËN dealer or
to an specialised waste disposal site.
Replacement bottles of sealant are available
from CITROËN dealers.
Vehicles supplied with a temporary puncture
repair kit do not have a spare wheel or
tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...).
