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.

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.

53 Safety

*
According to model.
The driver must ensure that thepassengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all properly restrainedbefore setting off. Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,always fasten your seat belt, even for shor t journeys. Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their role fully. If the seats have armrests * , the lap par tof the seat belt must always pass under the armrest.The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stored automatically when notin use.Before and after use, ensure that theseat belt is reeled in correctly.The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis. The upper par t must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automaticlocking device which comes into operation in the event of a collision, on emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling rapidly on the strap and releasing it.
In order to be effective, a seat belt: - must be tightened as close to the body as
possible, - must restrain one adult only, - must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,- must be pulled in front of you with asmooth movement, checking that it doesnot twist, - must not be transformed or modified to avoid altering its performance.In accordance with current safety regulations, all repairs and checks must be carried out bya CITROËN dealer who can guarantee thatthe work is carried out correctly, or qualifiedworkshop. Have your seat belts checked regularly by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop and particularly if the straps show signs of damage.Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and rolled up correctly.


Recommendations for children:



- use a suitable child seat if the passenger isless than 12 years old or shor ter than one metre fifty,

- do not use the strap-guide *
when a child seat is installed.

- never use the same seat belt to securemore than one person,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap.Depending on the nature and seriousnessof the impacts, the pre-tensioning device may be triggered before and independently of theair bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners is accompanied by a slight emission of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat beltssystem checked, and if necessary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.

RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue listening to the same station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However,
in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be assured throughout the country as radio stations do not cover
100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of thestation during a journey.
