Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
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 accompanied by some noise.
When braking in an emergency, press
very fi rmly without releasing the pressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
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 ABS
warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen, it
indicates a fault with 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.
Good practice
The ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
For maximum braking effi ciency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this period
it is recommended that you avoid harsh,
repeated or prolonged braking.

Re-activation
To set off again, restore the fuel supply and
the electrical supply manually:
- with the key in the STOP position, turn
the key to the RUNNING position,
- push the direction indicators control up
fully,
- place it in the "Off" position,
- press the direction indicators control
down fully,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- push it up fully again,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- press it down fully again,

- turn the key to the STOP position.
Quality of the fuel used
for petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 type petrol biofuels (containing
10 % ethanol), conforming to European
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up to
100 % ethanol (E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used
for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current
and future European standards (Diesel
fuel which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies with
standard EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject
to strict application of the special servicing
conditions. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).

Levels
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good working
order. Ask for advice from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop or refer to the
servicing booklet provided in the handbook
pack.
LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum oil
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:
A
= maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
B
= minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
To preserve the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid must be changed at
the specified interval, as given in the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which meets the DOT4
standard.
The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks on the reservoir.
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.
Warning lamps
Checking by means of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel is
described in chapter 1, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section. This must be carried out at the specified
interval and the viscosity grade of the oil
selected must fulfil the requirements of the
manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask for
advice from a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Refit the filler cap before closing the bonnet.

Levels
Engine coolant level
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 cooling 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.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks on the header tank. 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.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap with
integral gauge and check the level which
must be between the MIN
and MAX
marks.
Screenwash fluid level
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
topping up or replacement of this fluid
should never be with plain water; we
recommend the use of products available
from CITROËN dealers.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres. Slacken the cap by two turns 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.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with
the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground,
but into the containers provided for this
purpose at CITROËN dealers (France) or
at an authorised waste disposal site.
