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
 
(E

b F d ),
-
 emergency

  braking   assistance   (EBA).
When
 
braking
 
in
 
an
 
emergency
,  
press

 
very
 
firmly
 
without
 
releas
-
ing
  the   pressure. When
 
replacing
 
wheels
 
(tyres
 
and

 
rims),
 
ensure
 
that
 
they
 
con
-
form
 
to
 
the
 
manufacturer's
 
rec
-
ommendations. When
 
braking
 
in
 
an
 
emergency
,  
press

 
firmly
 
without
 
releasing
 
the

  pressure.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which  improve  the  sta -
bility  and  manoeuvrability  of  your  vehicle when

 
braking,
 
in
 
particular
 
on
 
poor
 
or slippery

  surfaces.
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. Operating fault
If
 
this
 
warning
 
lamp
 
comes
 
on,
 
accompanied

 
by
 
an
 
audible
 
signal

 
and
 
a
 
message
 
in
 
the
 
screen,

 
it
 
indicates
 
a
 
malfunc
-
tion  
of
 
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
 
ST
OP  
and ABS

 
warning
 
lamps,
 
accompa

nied  
by
 
an
 
audible
 
signal
 
and a

 
message
 
in
 
the
 
screen,
 
it
 
indicates
 
a malfunction

 
of
 
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.
Emergency braking assistance
System which,  in  an  emergency ,  en -
ables  you  to  obtain  the  optimum  braking  
pressure

 
more
 
quickly
,  
thus
 
reducing
 
the

  stopping   distance.
Activation
It
 
is
 
triggered
 
by
 
the
 
speed
 
at
 
which
 
the
 
brake

  pedal   is   pressed.
The
 
ef
fect  
of
 
this
 
is
 
a
 
reduction
 
in
 
the
 
resistance

 
of
 
the
 
pedal
 
and
 
an
 
increase
 
in

  braking   efficiency.
In either case, contact a CITR

as
 
low
 
as
 
possible
 
on
 
the
 
pelvis.
The

 
upper
 
part
 
must

is
 
less
 
than
 
12
 
years
 
old
 
or
 
shorter

  than   one   and   a   half   metres.
Never
 
use
 
the
 
same
 
seat
 
belt
 
to
 
se
-
cure
  more   than   one   person.
Never
 
allow
 
a
 
child
 
to
 
travel
 
on
 
your
 
lap.

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impact, the pre-
tensioning
 
device
 
may
 
be
 
deployed
 
before

 
and
 
independently
 
of
 
the
 
airbags.

 
Deployment
 
of
 
the
 
preten
-
sioners
 
is
 
accompanied
 
by
 
a
 
slight
 
discharge

 
of
 
harmless
 
smoke
 
and
 
a

 
noise,
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
activation
 
of
 
the
 
pyrotechnic

 
cartridge
 
incorporated
 
in
 
the

  system.
In
 
all
 
cases,
 
the

TOWING A TRAILER
We recommend  the  use  of  genu -
ine  CITROËN  towbars  and  their  
harnesses

 
that
 
have
 
been
 
tested
 
and

 
approved
 
from
 
the
 
design
 
stage

 
of
 
your
 
vehicle,
 
and
 
that
 
the

 
fitting
 
of
 
the
 
towbar
 
is
 
en
-
trusted
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or
 
a

  qualified   workshop.
If
 
the
 
towbar
 
is
 
not
 
fitted
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN

 
dealer
,  
it
 
must
 
still
 
be

 
fitted
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
vehicle

 
manufacturer's
 
instruc
-
tions.
Your
 
vehicle
 
is
 
primarily
 
designed
 
for
 
transporting

 
people
 
and
 
luggage,
 
but
 
it
 
may

 
also   be   used   for   towing   a   trailer.
Driving  
with
 
a
 
trailer
 
places
 
greater
 
de
-
mands
 
on
 
the
 
towing
 
vehicle
 
and
 
the
 
driver

  must   take   particular   care.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F 
Distribute
 
the
 
load
 
in
 
the
 
trailer
 
so
 
that

 
the
 
heaviest
 
items
 
are
 
as
 
close
 
as

 
possible
 
to
 
the
 
axle
 
and
 
the
 
nose
 
weight

 
approaches
 
the
 
maximum
 
permitted

  without   exceeding   it.
Air
 
density
 
decreases
 
with
 
altitude,
 
thus
 
reducing

 
engine
 
performance.
 
Above
 
1 

000  
metres,
 
the
 
maximum
 
towed
 
load
 
must

 
be
 
reduced
 
by
 
10 
%  
for
 
every
 
1 000

  metres   of   altitude.
Side wind
F
 
T
ake  
into
 
account
 
the
 
increased
 
sensitivity

  to   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing
 
a
 
trailer
 
on
 
a
 
slope
 
increases
 
the

  temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
 
the
 
fan
 
is
 
electrically
 
controlled,
 
its
 
cooling

 
capacity
 
is
 
not
 
dependent
 
on
 
the

  engine   speed.
F
 
T
o  
lower
 
the
 
engine
 
speed,
 
reduce
 
your

  speed. The
 
maximum
 
towed
 
load
 
on
 
a
 
long
 
in
-
cline  depends  on  the  gradient  and  the  ambient
  temperature.
In  all  cases,  keep  a  check  on  the  
 
coolant

  temperature.
F
 
If
 
the
 
warning
 
lamp
 
and
 
the
 
ST

OP  
warning
 
lamp
 
come
 
on,

 
stop
 
the
 
vehicle
 
and
 
switch

 
of
f  
the
 
engine
 
as
 
soon

  as   possible.
Braking
Towing
 
a
 
trailer
 
increases
 
the
 
braking
 
distance.
T

o  
avoid
 
overheating
 
of
 
the
 
brakes
 
on
 
a
 
long

 
mountain
 
type
 
of
 
descent,
 
the
 
use
 
of

  engine   braking   is   recommended.
Tyres
F
 
Check
 
the
 
tyre
 
pressures
 
of
 
the
 

towing

 
vehicle
 
and
 
of
 
the
 
trailer
,  
observing

 
the
 
recommended
 
pres
-
sures.
Lighting
F
 
Check
 
the
 
electrical
 
lighting
 
and
 
sig
-
nalling
  on   the   trailer.
Refer
 
to
 
the
 
"T
echnical  
data"
 
section
 
for
 
details

 
of
 
the
 
weights

towed
 
loads
 
which

  apply   to   your   vehicle.
The

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

225 
C4-2_en_Chap12_caracteristique_ed01-2014
* The  kerb   weight   is   equal   to   the   unladen   weight   +   driver   (75   kg).
**   
The
 
weight
 
of
 
the
 
braked
 
trailer
 
can
 
be
 
increased,
 
within
 
the
 
GTW
 
limit,
 
if
 
the
 
GVW
 
of
 
the
 
towing
 
vehicle
 
is
 
reduced
 
by
 
an

  equal   amount.   Warning:   towing   using   a   lightly   loaded   towing   vehicle   may   have   an   adverse   effect   on   its   road   holding.
PETROL WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS ( IN KG )
The GTW and  towed  load  values  indicated  are  valid  up  to  a  maximum  altitude  of  1  000  metres;  the  towed  load  mentioned  must
  be   reduced   by   10   %   for   each   additional   1   000   metres   of   altitude.
When
  towing,   the   maximum   authorised   speed   is   reduced   (comply   with   the   legislation   in   force   in   your   country).
High
 
ambient
 
temperatures
 
may
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
reduction
 
in
 
the
 
performance
 
of
 
the
 
vehicle
 
to
 
protect
 
the
 
engine;
 
if
 
the
 
ambient
 
temperature

  is   above   37   °C,   limit   the   towed   load.
