ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
CITROËN. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
Stop
as soon as it is safe to do so
.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking. To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

Seat belts
SAFETY
4
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning lamp comes on if the
pretensioners are deployed. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- restrain one person only,
- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
FRONT SEAT BELTS
For more information on child seats,
refer to the "Children on board" section
of chapter 4.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITROËN dealer can
guarantee all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they
must not be converted or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by CITROËN dealers.
With front airbags
The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.
Without front airbag
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front airbag, the centre passenger's
seat belt does not have a pretensioner.
With bench seat
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
seat, take care to fasten the correct seat
belt using the correct buckle. Do not mix the
driver's seat belt or buckle with the buckle or
seat belt of the centre seat. Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they will
not fulfi l their role completely. If the seats are
fi tted with armrests, the lap part of the seat belt
should always pass under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.

Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging your
engine.
When the engine is warm, the temperature
of the coolant is controlled by the engine
fan. As this fan can operate with the ignition
key removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at least one
hour after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and
MAX marks. When this occurs with the engine running it
is due to the start of saturation of the particle
emission filter (exceptionally prolonged
urban type driving conditions: low speed,
long traffic jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the filter, you are
advised to drive at a speed higher than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
permit (until the message disappears and
the service warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle emission
filter, relay noise may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and if the
service warning lamp remains on, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp wash
level
For best quality cleaning and for your safety,
we would advise that you use products of
the CITROËN range.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir is
7.5 litres.
To ensure optimum cleaning and prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the
service warning light, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the screen.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
