DRIVING

Dynamic emergency braking

In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle’s main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) pull
and hold control lever A
to stop the
vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If there is a fault with the dynamic
emergency braking, one of the fol-
lowing messages will be displayed
in the instrument panel screen:


- "Parking brake faulty".

- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the lighting
of this warning lamp, then
braking stability is not guar-
anteed. In this event, stability must
be assured by the driver by repeat-
ing alternate "pull release" actions on
control lever A
.

The dynamic emergency
braking should only be used
in exceptional circumstances.

Emergency parking brake
release

In the event of the electric parking
brake failing to release, an emergency
device can be used to release the
parking brake manually, provided that
it is possible to immobilise the vehicle
while the procedure is carried out.


)
If you can start the vehicle: with
the engine running, immobilise
the vehicle by applying the foot
brake while the operation is being
carried out.

)
If you are unable to start the
vehicle (fl at battery for example):
do not use this device and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. However, if you are
obliged to proceed, fi rst immobilise
your vehicle securely and then fol-
low the instructions below. If the vehicle cannot be im-
mobilised, do not operate
the emergency release. Your ve-
hicle may run away if on a slope.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Wheel for temporary use

Your vehicle may be fi tted with a
spare wheel which is different to
those on the vehicle. When fi tting
the spare wheel, it is normal to no-
tice that the wheel bolt washers do
not come into contact with the wheel
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the conical tapering of the wheel
bolt’s shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel, en-
sure that the wheel bolt contact surfac-
es are clean and in good condition.


Fitting a wheel



)
Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.

)
Screw in the bolts but do not fully
tighten them.

)
Lower the jack and remove it.

)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.

)
Refi t the protectors on the bolts.

)
Return the ground clearance to
the normal position.

)
Ensure the tyre pressure is cor-
rect and have the balancing
checked.



Under-inflation detection

These wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. Repairs must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.


Security bolts (according to
version)
Each wheel is equipped with one se-
curity bolt.
To remove it:


)

Remove the protector using tool 3
.


)
Use the security socket with the
wheelbrace.

If your vehicle is fi tted with a
spare wheel of a different size
to those on the vehicle, you
must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c to the
type of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of
the security bolt socket. This will
enable you to obtain a replace-
ment security bolt socket from your
dealer.

BATTERY

Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the en-
gine using another battery.

Access to the battery

V6 HDi engine
The battery is located under the
bonnet.
For access to it:


)
open the bonnet using the interi-
or release lever, then the exterior
safety catch,

)
secure the bonnet stay,

)
remove the plastic cover to gain
access to the two terminals,

)
unclip the fusebox to remove the
battery, if necessary.

The battery is located in the boot under
the left-hand wing trim.
For access to it:


)
open the boot,

)
open the fl ap and remove the
battery.







The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation; the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Failure to observe this recommen-
dation may cause premature wear
of the battery.

After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the bat-
tery (up to about 8 hours).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION








ROOF BARS


The design of your vehicle requires
the use of roof bars that are tested
and approved by CITROËN, for your
safety and to avoid damage to the
roof and tailgate.
Regardless of the type of loading
equipment to be transported on the
roof (bicycle carrier, ski carrier…), it
is imperative that you add transverse
roof bars. Any securing or lashing to
components other than the roof bars
is strictly prohibited.


Recommendations



)
Distribute your load evenly, avoid-
ing overloading on one side.

)
Arrange the heaviest part of the
load as close as possible to the
roof.

)
Anchor the load securely and
draw attention to it if any part of
it is overhanging.

)
Drive gently, as the vehicle will
be more liable to the effects of
side winds (vehicle stability may
be altered).

)
Remove the roof bars as soon
as they are no longer needed.

Maximum load that can be
distributed on the roof bars
(for a loading height not
exceeding 40 cm; except bicycle
carrier): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
your speed to the profi le of the road
to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fi xings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transportation
of objects which are longer than
the vehicle.


Blanking cover

When towing, you must remove the
blanking cover in the front bumper
as well as the bonnet seal if fi tted .
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop for this.

This call is dealt with by the CITROËN Emergency team which receives
locating information from the vehicle and can send a detailed alert to the
appropriate emergency services. In countries in which the team is not
operational, or when the locating service has been expressly declined,
the call is dealt with directly by the emergency services (112) without the
vehicle location.

If an impact is detected by the airbag ECU, and independently
of the deployment of any airbags, an emergency call is made
automatically.
