To avoid triggering the alarm when
washing your vehicle, lock it using the
key in the driver's door lock.
To be effective, this deactivation must
be carried out each time the ignition is

Operating fault
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In either case, contact a CITRoËn dealer or a
qualified workshop. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction 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 STOP and ABS
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 loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables 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 effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
