Emergency braking
assistance


In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure morequickly and therefore reduce the stoppingdistance.
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.
*
The CSC system is linked with the EBFD on
vehicles which are not fitted with ASR/ESP
systems.














Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
braking systems (EBFD and CSC * )
The ABS, in conjunction with the EBFD and
CSC *
braking systems, increases the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on brakingand 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 provide fullcontrol of the braking pressure 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 theCSC * (Cornering Stability Control).


When changing wheels (tyres), make
sure that these are approved.

The anti-lock braking system comesinto operation automatically when thereis a risk of wheel lock.
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 qualified
workshop.

When these warning lampscome on simultaneously, it
indicates that there is a fault
with the braking system or that the parking
brake has not been released fully, which cancause 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 qualified
workshop.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, pressvery firmly without releasing thepressure.

VSC
50Safety














Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and electronic
stability programme (ESP)


Operating check
Operation of the ASR and ESP
s
ystems
When one of these two systems is
operating, this warning lamp comes on.
If a fault occurs with the s
ystems, this
warning lamp comes on.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop to have thesystems checked.
These systems are linked and supplement the
ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting 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 trajectory 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 theengine to put the vehicle back on course, within
the limits of the laws of physics.
The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety during normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive athigh speed. Correct operation of these systemsdepends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims), thebraking components and the electronic components as well as the repair procedures use by a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop.
After an impact, have these systemschecked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.

General
recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towedvehicle.The driver must stay at the wheel of thetowed vehicle. Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering.In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service:- vehicle broken down on a motor way
or fast road,- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock thesteering, or release the parkingbrake,- towing with only two wheels on theground, - where there is no approved towingbar available...

Your vehicle can only be towed at the front.
Never use the radiator crossmember.
To w i ng with fours wheels on theroad must be carried out at very low speed over a very shor t distance (in accordance with the legislation in force).
In all other cases, your vehicle must betranspor ted on a trailer.

Failure to obser ve this instruction may lead to damage to cer tain components (braking, transmission, ...) and the absence of braking assistance when the engine is started.
)
Unlock the steering by turning the key to
the first position and release the parkingbrake. ) Switch on the hazard warning lamps onboth vehicles.
