every new engine start by the driver.
Reactivation
This is confirmed by the illumination
of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel.
This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.

Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Operation
Illimination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS system, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Yo u must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and traction control (TRC)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
Activation of the DSC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Activation of the TRC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
Drive carefully at reduced speed, and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Fuel tank
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp comes on and the
last bar flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal.
You have approximately 5 litres remaining.
In certain driving conditions and depending on the
engine, the distance which can be travelled with the
fuel remaining may be less than 30 miles (50 km).
When the frequency of the flashing increases, you
have approximately 3 litres remaining .
To refuel in complete safety:
F
Y ou must stop the engine and switch off
the ignition (ignition in "LOCK" position
or "OFF" mode) .
F
P
ull the control on the lower dashboard,
driver's side, to release the filler flap.
F
O
pen the fuel filler flap.
If you run out of fuel, the emission
control system warning lamp may come
on in the instrument panel. It will go off
automatically after the engine has been
started a few times. Refuelling must only be done with the engine
stopped and the ignition switched off
( ignition
switch in the " LOCK" position or " OFF" mode).
The capacity of the fuel tank is approximately 35 litres.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
A label on the inside of the flap reminds you
which type of fuel to use.
There may be an inrush of air when removing
the filler cap. This vacuum is per fectly normal
and results from the sealing of the fuel system.
