HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND BRAKING SYSTEMS (EBFD AND CSC * )
When the vehicle is being driv-
en, illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that the parking
brake is still on or has not been
properly released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
parking brake
on
.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake to immobilise
your vehicle.
When changing wheels
(tyres), make sure that these
are approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the button
to release the parking brake.
* The CSC system is linked with the E B F D o n v e h i c l e s w h i c h a r e n o t fi t t e d
with ASR/ESP systems.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
The ABS, in conjunction with the EBFD and CSC * braking systems, increases
the stability and manoeuvrability of
your vehicle on braking and provides
improved control, in particular on poor
or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems pro-
vide full control of the braking pres-
sure wheel by wheel. A distribution
between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the EBFD (Electronic Brake
Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of the CSC * (Cornering Stability
Control).
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking
pressure more quickly and therefore
reduce the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is
felt by a reduction in the resistance
of the pedal and an increase in the
effectiveness of the braking.

SAFETY
SEAT BELTS Pretensioning front seat
belts with force limiter
Safety in the event of front
impacts has been improved
by means of the introduction of pre-
tensioning seat belts with force lim-
iter for the front seats. Depending on
the force of the impact, the preten-
sioning system instantly tightens the
seat belts and pulls them against the
body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the oc-
cupant, increasing their protection. 3-door
5-door
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are equipped with two
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
You can store the seat belt buckles in
the housing
A .
Fastening/Unfastening the seat
belts
Pull the strap, then insert the buckle
into the stalk.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
To unfasten the seat belts, press the
button on the stalk.

SAFETY
Deactivating the passenger
airbag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger airbag when you install a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
w e r e t o i n fl a t e .
With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag deactivation switch 1 ,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
then remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger airbag will not be deployed in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the airbag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact. If the passenger airbag is de-
activated, the warning lamp
in the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
airbag is reactivated.
Flashing indicates a fault
with at least one of these
airbags.
Contact a CITROËN deal-
e r o r a q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p
to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a serious impact.

LATERAL AIRBAGS * AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS *
The lateral airbags are built into the
front seat backs on the door side.
The deployment of these airbags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The lateral airbag

It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear lateral airbags afford the
rear passengers the same protection
which the front lateral airbags offer
the front passengers.
The curtain airbags are built into the
headlining. T h e c u r t a i n a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk
of head injuries. In the event of a
minor impact or bump on the side of
the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over,
the airbag may not be deployed. The
airbag is not deployed in the event of
a front or rear collision.

Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum oil
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this
fan can operate with the ignition key
removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at
least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any
work.
