THE ALARM SYSTEM *
The alarm offers two types of protec-
tion:
- exterior protection: the alarm
sounds if a door, the boot or the
bonnet is opened ;
- interior protection: the alarm
sounds if there is a variation in
the volume inside the vehicle
(breaking of a window or move-
ment inside the vehicle) .

HANDBRAKE
Illumination of this warning
light and of the STOP warn-
ing light, accompanied by
an audible signal (while the
vehicle is moving), indicates that the
handbrake is still applied or has not
been released fully.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light comes
on, connected to the STOP
and ABS warning lights, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution, which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a CITROËN
dealer. When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by a
buzzer, it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking. Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e
p r e s s u r e .
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.

ger air bag will not be triggered in the

sition to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.

Tyres: C h e c k t h e t y r e p r e s s u r e s o f
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
s u r e s .
Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance.
Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.
Side wind: T a k e i n t o a c c o u n t t h e
increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
i n c r e a s e s t h e t e m p e r a t u r e o f t h e
coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.

switching off the air conditioning per-
mits the recovery of engine power
and therefore an increase in the tow-
ing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
