Access

Reactivation of the interior volumetric monitoring
)Deactivate the exterior perimeter monitoring by unlocking the vehicle usingthe remote control or the Keyless Entry andStarting system.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
)Reactivate the full alarm system by locking
the vehicle using the remote control or the
"Keyless Entry and Star ting" system.
The indicator lamp in the button flashes once
per second again.
Tr iggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren and flashing of the direction indicators for
thirty seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times in
succession.When the vehicle is unlocked using the remotecontrol or the Keyless Entry and Startingsystem, rapid flashing of the indicator lampin the button informs you that the alarm was
triggered during your absence. When the
ignition is switched on, this flashing stops immediately.
Failure of the remote control
To deactivate the monitoring functions:
) Unlock the vehicle using the key (integral
with the remote control) 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.

Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key (integral with the remote control) in thedriver's door lock.




Operating fault


When the ignition is switched on, fixed
illumination of the indicator lamp in the button
indicates a fault in the system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Driving

Emergency braking


In the event of a failure of the main servicebrake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc
) a continuous
pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
Brakin
g takes place while the control lever is
being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
is released.
The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.

I
f a failure of the ABS and DSC systems, signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, thenstability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release" actions on the control lever until the vehicle is immobilised.



The emergency braking should only be used in an exceptional situation.
Re
peat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the instrument panel going off.

Deactivating automatic
o
peration

In some situations, such as very cold weather
or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be necessary to deactivate automatic operation of
the system. )Star t the engine.)Apply the parking brake with the control
lever, if it is released. )Ta k e your foot off the brake pedal.)Push and hold the control lever in the release direction for at least 10 seconds and no more than 15 seconds.)Release the control lever. )Press and hold the brake pedal. )Pull the control lever in the apply direction
for 2 seconds.
D
eactivation of the automatic functions
is confirmed by illumination of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
)Release the control lever and the brake pedal.
From this point the parkin
g brake can only
be applied and released manually using the control lever.

which will make the current speed of your vehicle the new cruise speed setting, rather than by pressing button 4(on/pause) which reactivates the cruise control using the old cruise speed setting, which may be very different from the current speed of your vehicle.

"
SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your
vehicle's cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle and then hold it at the speed of
the vehicle in front so as to maintain the programmed inter-vehicle time.
The regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead.
"
Cruise control paused". If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in
the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change
of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

Safety

Electronic Stability Programme (ESC: Electronic Stability Control) incorporating the
following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,

- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or tractioncontrol,

- the dynamic stability control (DSC).











Electronic stability programme (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and provides improved control in corners, in par ticular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to 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.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle onacceleration.


Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required bythe driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automaticall
y acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
