When prompted by the telephone, enter the
PIN displayed in the instrument panel.
If the pairing has been successful, the
system announces "Connecting".
The name of the telephone identified
appears in the instrument panel screen,
pairing is confirmed. "Settings"\wait for a

PIN
Pairing a mobile telephone
Pairing consists of setting your vehicle's
Bluetooth
® system to recognise your mobile
telephone.
For this you must activate the Bluetooth
®
function of your telephone and set its
visibility.
MOBILE TELEPHONE WITH HANDS-FREE FUNCTION
With the ignition on, activate the
main menu.
Select SETTINGS.
Confirm.
Select PAIRING.
Confirm. This number, which permits
recognition of your mobile
telephone, is generated
randomly by the system.
It is communicated by the instrument panel
screen and is repeated verbally by the
system.
This PIN is independent of your SIM card
and your mobile's access code.
Once your handset has been paired, there is
no need to keep a record of this number.
If you change your mobile telephone, you
must repeat the pairing procedure as you
will be given a new PIN.
Look for the option which displays
the Bluetooth
® system detected
by your telephone.
When the system has been
identified, a message appears in
your telephone (My car, …).
Pressing MAIN or ESC during
the pairing phase may cancel the
procedure.
If the pairing fails, an error message will
appear; in this case, repeat the procedure.

PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on on the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels
towards the pavement and pull the parking
brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded.
Pull on the parking brake lever, only with
the vehicle stationary
.
In the exceptional case of use of the parking
brake when the vehicle is moving, apply the
brake by pulling gently to avoid locking the
rear wheels (risk of skidding).
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Releasing
Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever. Press this button, the two direction
indicators flash.
They operate with the ignition off.
When the hazard warning lamps are
switched on, the change of direction
function, using the right-hand or left-hand
direction indicator, is deactivated.

HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
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 efficiency, 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.

Emergency braking assistance *
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to reach the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance. The emergency braking assistance
is an integral part of the ESP system.
Activation
It is brought into play 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 braking in an emergency, press firmly
without releasing the pressure.
Good practice
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
The electronic stability programme acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory
required by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
Activation
The ESP system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started and cannot
be deactivated.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
Illumination of this warning lamp
and the warning lamp in the
"ASR OFF"
button, accompanied
by a message in the instrument
panel screen, indicates a fault with the ESP
system, which is deactivated automatically.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and engine
control (MSR)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.
Engine control is an integral part of the ASR
system and intervenes when a sudden gear
change is made or of one of the driving
wheels looses grip, by reducing engine torque
to avoid loss of stability of the vehicle.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem od adhesion or
trajectory, these systems come into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow,
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to
deactivate the ASR system, so that the
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.
Press the "ASR OFF"
button, located in
the middle of the dashboard.
If the button's warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, this indicates that
the ASR system is deactivated. This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.

Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on.
Press the "ASR OFF"
button again to
reactivate it manually.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen, this
indicates a fault with the ASR
system, which is deactivated automatically.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Good practice
The ASR system offers exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of this system
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking
components, the electronic components and
assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
