The audible and/or visual rear parking sensor  system   consists   of   four  
proximity

  sensors,   installed   in   the  
rear

  bumper.  
The
  sensors   detect   any  
obstacle

  which   enters   the   field:   person,  
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle
during

  the   manoeuvre.
Certain
  objects   detected   at   the  
beginning

  of   the   manoeuvre   will   no  
longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre

  due   to   the   blind   spots  
between

  and   below   the   sensors.  
Examples:

  stake,   roadworks   cone   or  
pavement

  post.

(ABS - EBF d )
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 EBF

d provides control of
the
  braking   pressure   wheel   by   wheel.If
  this   warning   lamp   comes  on,
  accompanied   by   an  
audible

  signal   and   a   message  
in the screen, 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  
and

  STOP
 
warning   lamps,  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   a   message   in   the  
screen,

  it   indicates   a   malfunction   of  
the

  electronic   brake   force   distribution  
which could result in a loss of control of
the

  vehicle   on   braking.

A
nc E SYS t EM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the  optimum   braking   pressure   to   be  
reached

  more   quickly,   press   the   pedal  
firmly

  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.
o

n 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   manoeuvre   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  
recommended

  by   CITROËN. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop.

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
d SC 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   DSC  
system

  automatically   acts   on   the  
engine

  and   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
wheels,

  in   order   to   put   the   vehicle   back  
on

  course.
deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting   the   vehicle   when   stuck   in   mud  
or

  snow,   or   on   loose   ground...),   it   could  
prove useful to deactivate the a

SR and
DSC
  systems   to   make   the   wheels   spin  
and

  regain   grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC   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

  are   observed.
After
  an   impact,   have   these   systems  
checked

  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the a SR or
DSC
  is   triggered.

correct use
Y our vehicle is designed principally to
drive
  on   tarmac   roads   but   it   allows   you  
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally

.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit
  off-road   activities   such   as:
-

crossing and driving on ground
which

  could   damage   the   underbody  
or

  tear   off   components   (fuel   pipe,  
fuel

  cooler,   ...),   particularly   by  
obstacles or stones,
-


driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-

 
crossing
  a   stream.
On
 
snow,
 
mud
 
or
 
sand,
 
traction
 
control
 is
 
obtained
 
by
 
a
 
compromise
 
between
 
safety

, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.

This dSc mode is calibrated for  a   low   level   of   skidding,  
based on dif

ferent conditions
of grip encountered on the
road.
When the ignition is switched off,
the
 
system   returns   automatically   to  
DSC

 
mode. This
d S c OFF   mode   is  
only

  suitable   for   specific  
conditions encountered


when
  moving   off   or   at   low  
speed.
Above

 
30
  mph   (50   km/h)   the   system  
returns

 
to
  DSC   mode   automatically. This
snow   mode   allows   the  vehicle to adapts its strategy
to the conditions of grip
encountered for each of the
two
  front   wheels,   on   moving  
of

f.
When
  moving,   the   system   optimises  
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.This

off-road   mode   (mud,  
wet

  grass...)   allows,   when  
moving

  off,   considerable  
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing

  of   the   mud   and   regain   "grip".  
At

  the   same   time,   the   wheel   with   the  
most

  grip   is   controlled   in   such   a   way   as  
to

  transmit   as   much   torque   as   possible.
When
  moving,   the   system   optimises  
wheelspin

  to   meet   the   driver's  
requirements

  as   fully   as   possible.This sand
  mode   allows   a  little wheelspin on the two
driving
  wheels   at   the   same  
time

  to   allow   the   vehicle   to  
move

  forward   and   reduces  
the

  risk   of   getting   stuck   in   the   sand.
Do
  not   use   the   other   modes   on   sand  
as

  the   vehicle   may   become   stuck.

Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely  before   moving   off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even
  for   short   journeys.
The
  seat   belts   are   fitted   with   an   inertia

clips,
  safety   pins,   etc.)   which   allow   the  
seat

  belt   straps   to   fit   loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly
  after   use.
After
