Parking brake fi x e d . The parking brake is
applied or not properly
released. Release the parking brake to switch off the warnin

lamp, keeping your foot on the brake pedal.
Observe the safety recommendations.
For further information on the parking brake, refer
to the "Safety" section.
STOP fi x e d , a s s o c i a t e d

warning lamp. It is associated with
the engine oil pressure
or the engine coolant
temperature. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

) fi x e d .
The ASR/ESP system is
in action. The system optimises traction and improves
the directional stability of the vehicle.

The ASR/ESP system
has a fault. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p .
Coolant
temperature fi x e d . The temperature of the
engine coolant is too
high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before
checking up the level; top up if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN

Airbags temporarily.
This lamp comes on for
a few seconds when you
turn on the ignition, then
goes off. This lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer

fl a s h i n g . At least one of the
airbags has a fault. The airbags may not be deployed in the event of
a serious impact. Have it checked by a CITROËN

COMFORT
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of
an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harness k e e p i n g t h e
s l a c k in relation to the child's body
to a minimum , even for short jour-
neys.
To install a child seat using the ve-
hicle's seat belt, ensure that the belt
is well tightened on the child seat
a n d t h a t i t h o l d s t h e c h i l d s e a t fi r m l y
against the vehicle's seat.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat
and that the head restraint does not
cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag *
when a "rear facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
w e r e t o i n fl a t e .
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To protect young children from the
r a y s o f t h e s u n , fi t s i d e b l i n d s o n t h e
rear windows.
I n s t a l l i n g a b o o s t e r s e a t
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of
a b o o s t e r s e a t w h i c h h a s a b a c k , fi t -
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
* According to country.

SAFETY
HORN
Press one of the spokes of the steer-
ing wheel.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Press the button, the direction indica-
t o r s fl a s h .
They can operate with the ignition off.
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
When this warning lamp
comes on, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS,
which could cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when
braking.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p .
When these warn-
ing lamps come on
simultaneously, it
indicates that there
is a fault with the braking system or
that the parking brake has not been
released fully, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p .
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t
releasing the pressure.
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
Operating check
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When one of these two sys-
tems is operating, this warning
lamp comes on.
If a fault occurs with the
systems, this warning lamp
comes on. The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety during nor-
mal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
Correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the manu-
facturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the brak-
ing components and the electronic
components as well as the repair pro-
cedures use by a CITROËN dealer or
q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p .
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p .
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p t o h a v e t h e s y s -
tems checked.
These systems are linked and sup-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on
the engine to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
