Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in par ticular on poor or slippery sur faces. Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Emergency or
assistance call
This system allows you to make an emergency
or assistance call to the emergency ser vices or
to the dedicated CITROËN ser vice.
For more information on the use of this
function, refer to the "Audio and telematics"
section.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.

Operating fault
When the vehicle is stationary
The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on (ON position). If it does not go off or
does not come on, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates a malfunction of the
wheel anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When the vehicle is moving
Illumination of these two
warning lamps indicates a
malfunction of the electronic
brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Illumination of this warning lamp

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
Trajectory control systems
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.
)
Press this button button, located on the
dashboard to the right of the steering
wheel, until the corresponding symbol
appears in the instrument panel screen.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is star ted.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated
automatically.
)
Press this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESP
systems.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
The ASR /ESP systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer’s recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures used by the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
The display of this message
in the instrument panel
indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP systems checked.

Charging the main battery
)
Pull lever 1
, located at the bottom of
the dashboard, driver's side, to open
the access flap for the normal charging
socket (right hand side of the vehicle).
Normal charging
Before connecting, check that the
power point you want to use is standard
and is compatible with the current rating
on the charging cable control unit.
In all cases, it is recommended that
your installation be checked by
a qualified electrician.
There are two types of charging: normal and
fast.
Normal charging should be used in preference;
it is done from a domestic power point.
Fast charging is done at a compatible fast
charge station.
)
Apply the parking brake and put the drive
selector in position P
.
)
Switch off all electrical consumers and turn
the ignition switch to the "LOCK"
position.
Always use a genuine CITROËN
charging cable.
If the ambient temperature is
below -25 °C, charging may not be
possible.

the ignition switch to the "LOCK"
position.
)
Pull lever 3
, located alongside the driver's

Changing a wheel
Tools required
- A jack: for lifting the vehicle.
- A wheelbrace: for removing and refitting
the wheel bolts.
- A handle: for operating the jack.
These tools are not supplied with your vehicle.
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off
the ignition and put the drive selector in
position P
to lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel
to be changed.
You must ensure that the occupants get
out of the vehicle and wait where they
are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
