SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
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).
Anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution

Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.

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.

When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure.

Operating fault In either case, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
anti-lock braking system which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP
and
ABS
warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction
of the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.


When replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they
conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, en-
ables 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 effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.

EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCECALL

This system allows you to make an
emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated
CITROËN service.
For more information on the use of this
function, refer to the "Audio and tele-
matics" section.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the MyWay au-
dio navigation system, it will be
interrupted after 10 minutes. A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.


Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message ap-
pears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode

matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.


)

functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the period for which the engine is

ways be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
