SAFETY
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
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 full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum
braking pressure to be reached more quickly,
press the pedal fi rmly 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.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
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 steer 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 approved. If this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake warning
lamp, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control
of the vehicle on braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.

Driving safely
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAMME
(ESP)
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration.
Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer. 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 engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
In certain exceptional conditions (when
starting a vehicle stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR system to make the
wheels spin and regain grip.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The LED flashes when the ASR or ESP is
triggered. Press this button.
The LED on the button comes on: the ASR
system no longer acts on the engine operation,
but continues to act on the brakes.
Operating fault
When a malfunction of the ASR
system occurs, this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the screen.

Driving safely
SAFETY
When a malfunction of the ESP
system occurs, this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Good practice
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN network are
observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer. Intelligent Traction Control
System to improve traction on slippery
surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...)
This system checks for situations of difficult
surface adhesion that could make it difficult
to move off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control
takes over from the ASR
system,
by transferring drive to the wheel with the
best grip on the ground to provide the best
traction and trajectory control.
Activation
On starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
Press the button, located on the dashboard,
to activate the system; the warning lamp in
the button comes on.
The system is active up to about 18 mph
(30 km/h).
Once the speed exceed 18 mph (30 km/h,
the system is deactivated automatically, but
the warning lamp in the button comes on.
The system is reactivated automatically
as soon as the speed drops below 18 mph
(30 km/h).
