ELECTRIC WINDOWS

1. Driver's electric window control

2. Passenger electric window control
There are two operating modes:
Safety auto-reverse
When the window rises and meets an
obstacle, it stops and partially lowers.
Automatic mode
Press or pull the control, beyond the
point of resistance. The window opens
or closes fully when the control is
released. Pressing the control again
stops the movement of the window.
The electrical functions of the electric
windows are deactivated:
- approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off,
- after one of the front doors is opened, if the ignition is off.
Manual mode
Press or pull the control, without
passing the point of resistance.
The window stops when you release
the control.
Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery,
or in the event of a malfunction, the
safety auto-reverse function must be
reinitialised. Good practice
If the electric windows meet an
obstacle during operation, you must
reverse the movement of the window.
To do this, press the control concerned.
When the driver operates the
passenger electric window controls, he
must ensure that no one is preventing
correct closing of the windows.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the electric windows
correctly.
Be aware of children when operating
the windows.
Following several consecutive closing/
opening operations of the electric
window control, a protection system is
triggered which only authorises closing
of the window. After closing, wait
approximately 40 minutes. Once this
time has elapsed, the control becomes
operational again.
Lower the window fully, then raise it, it
will rise in steps of a few centimetres
each time the control is pressed.
Repeat the operation until the window
is fully closed.
Continue to press the control for at
least one second after the window
closed position has been reached.
The safety auto-reverse does not
operate during these operations.

DRIVING SAFETY
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
HANDBRAKE
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise your
vehicle.
Check that the handbrake is applied
fi rmly before leaving the vehicle. Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button to
lower the handbrake.
HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Press this button, the direction
indicators fl ash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lights should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving in unusual conditions.
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the handbrake.
There is no advantage in engaging
a gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.
If the handbrake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning light which
comes on on the instrument panel. Automatic lighting of hazard
warning lights
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lights come
on automatically. They switch off
automatically the fi rst time you
accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the button on the fascia.

75
Parking assistance
SAFETY
4
The audible and/or visual rear parking
assistance consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle
which enters the fi eld: person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during
the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre will no
longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post. Engage reverse gear
REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
Display on the screen
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.
An audible signal confi rms the
activation of the system by engaging
reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle. When the distance
between the rear of the vehicle and
the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.

76
Parking assistance
Activation/Deactivation Operating fault
In the event of an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged the diode on
the button comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
on the display. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or if a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).
The parking assistance cannot, in
any circumstances, take the place
of the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing this
button.
The activation or deactivation
of the system is stored when
the vehicle stops.
You are advised to deactivate
the system if your vehicle is fi tted
with a rear ladder or if you are
transporting a load which exceeds
the length of the vehicle.

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. 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.
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.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
fi rmly 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.
To prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.
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 fi rmly, 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.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer.

ESP OFF
78
Driving safety
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
Use the ESP to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course. Disarming the ASR/ESP
systems
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating check
Good practice
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fi tting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN
network are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The luminous diode fl ashes
when the ASR or ESP is
triggered.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the display.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked.
The warning light may also come on
if the tyres are under-infl ated. Check
the pressure of each tyre.
- Press the button or turn the dial to the ESP OFF
position (depending on
model).
- The indicator light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no longer
act.
- manually by pressing the button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).
