Automatic day/night model
By means of a sensor, which measures
the light from the rear of the vehicle,
this system automatically and progres-
sively changes between the day and
night uses.
In order to ensure optimum vis-
ibility during your manoeuvres,
the mirror lightens automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When stationary
, pull the control
lever to release the adjustment
mechanism.
Adjust the height and reach to suit
your driving position.

Operating fault
When the ignition is switched on, fi xed
illumination of the indicator lamp in the
button indicates a fault with the system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Locking the vehicle with exterior
perimeter monitoring only
Deactivate the interior volumetric and
anti-tilt monitoring to avoid unwanted
triggering of the alarm in certain cases
such as:
- leaving a pet in the vehicle,
- leaving a window partially open,
- washing your vehicle,
- changing a wheel,
- having your vehicle towed,
- transport by sea.
Deactivation of the interior
volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring
Switch off the ignition.
Within ten seconds, press the but-
ton until the indicator lamp is on
continuously.
Get out of the vehicle.
Press the locking button on the re-
mote control immediately. The exterior perimeter monitoring alone
is activated: the indicator lamp in the
button fl ashes once per second.
To be effective, this deactivation
must be carried out each time
the ignition is switched off.
Reactivation of the interior
volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring
Press the unlocking button on the
remote control to deactivate the ex-
terior perimeter monitoring.
Press the locking button on the re-
mote control to activate all the moni-
toring functions.
The indicator lamp in the button again
fl ashes once per second.
Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the si-
ren and fl ashing of the direction indica-
tors for thirty seconds.
The monitoring functions remain ac-
tive until the alarm has been triggered
eleven times in succession.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the
remote control, rapid fl ashing of the in-
dicator lamp in the button informs you
that the alarm was triggered during your
absence. When the ignition is switched
on, this fl ashing stops immediately.
Failure of the remote control
To deactivate the monitoring functions:
unlock the vehicle using the key in
the driver's door lock,
open the door; the alarm is triggered,
switch on the ignition; the alarm
stops; the indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm
Lock or deadlock the vehicle using
the key in the driver's door lock.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure.
When replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they con-
form to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle 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.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunc-
tion 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.
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.
In either case, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
