ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS / EBFD)
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.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSIST

ANCE (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   pressed   down.
This
  alters   the   resistance   of   the   brake  
pedal

  under   your   foot.
To
  maintain   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   listed   by  
CITROËN

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

Recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or

  shorter   than   one   metre   fifty,
-

never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened. For

  more   information   on   child  
seats, refer to the "Children on
board"

  section   of   chapter   5.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by CITR
o Ë n
dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your CITR
o Ë n dealer can
guarantee
  all   work   or   any   checks,   from  
testing

  to   maintenance,   on   your   seat  
belt

  equipment.
Have
  the   seat   belts   checked   regularly  
(even

  after   a   minor   impact)   by   a  
CITROËN

  dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop:

  they   must   not   show   any  
signs of wear

, cutting or fraying
and
  they   must   not   be   converted   or  
modified.
The

 
force
 
limiter
 
reduces
 
the
 
pressure
 of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when
 
the
 
ignition
 
is
 
switched
 
on.
The
 
inertia
 
reels
 
are
 
fitted
 
with
 
a
 
device
 
which

 
automatically
 
locks
 
the
 
strap
 
in
 
the

 
event
 
of
 
a
 
collision
 
or
 
emergency
 
braking

 
or
 
if
 
the
 
vehicle
 
rolls
 
over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by
pressing
 
the
 
red
 
button
 
on
 
the
 
buckle.

In
 
order
 
to
 
be
 
effective,
 
a
 
seat
 
belt:
-
 
must

 
restrain
 
one
 
person
 
only,
-
 
must

 
not
 
be
 
twisted,
 
check
 
by
 
pullin

g in front of you with an even
movement,
-
 
must

 
be
 
tightened
 
as
 
close
 
to
 
the
 
body

 
as
 
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should
be positioned in the hollow of the
shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low
as
 
possible
 
on
 
the
 
pelvis.
d

o not interchange the seat belt
buckles
 
as
 
they
 
will
 
not
 
fulfil
 
their
 
role
 
properly

.
 
If
 
the
 
seats
 
are
 
fitted
 
with
 
armrests,

 
the
 
lap
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
seat
 
belt
 
should

 
always
 
pass
 
under
 
the
 
armrest.
Check
 
that
 
the
 
seat
 
belt
 
is
 
fastened
 
correctly

 
by
 
pulling
 
the
 
strap
 
firmly.Front seat belts
The front seats are fitted with pretensioners   and   force   limiters.
Rear seat belts

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
At the rear, always leave sufficient space  between   the   front   seat   and:
-

a rearward facing child seat,
-


the feet of a child seated in a
forward

  facing   child   seat.
For
  this,   move   the   front   seat   forward  
and, if necessary

, straighten its
backrest
  as   well.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in
  a   vehicle   compromises   the   child's  
protection

  in   the   event   of   an   accident.
Check   that   there   is   no   seat   belt   or   seat  
belt

  buckle   under   the   child   seat,   as   this  
could

  destabilise   the   seat.
Remember   to   fasten   the   seat   belts   or  
the child seat harnesses

keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum,   even   for   short   journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt
is well tensioned on the child seat
and that it is holding the child seat
firmly   against   the   vehicle's   seat.   If   the  
passenger

  seat   is   adjustable,   move   it  
forward

  if   necessary. For   the   optimum   installation   of   a  
forward facing child seat, ensure that
the

  back   of   the   child   seat   is   as   close   as  
possible

  to   the   backrest   of   the   vehicle's  
seat,

  or   in   contact   if   possible.
The   head   restraint   must   be   removed  
before installin

g a child seat with a
backrest   on   the   passenger   seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is
stowed or attached securely so that it
is not thrown around the vehicle in the
event   of   sharp   braking.
Refit   the   head   restraint   as   soon   as   the  
child

  seat   is   removed.Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on
the
  front   passenger   seat   is   specific   to  
each

  country.   Refer   to   the   legislation   in  
force

  in   your   country.
d

eactivate the passenger's airbag
when a rearward facing child seat is
installed
  on   the   front   seat.
Otherwise,
  the   child   would   risk   being  
seriously

  injured   or   killed   if   the   airbag  
were

  deployed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder
without   touching   the   neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes
  correctly   over   the   child's   thighs.
CITROËN
  recommends   the   use   of   a  
booster

  seat   which   has   a   back,   fitted  
with

  a   seat   belt   guide   at   shoulder   level.
As
  a   safety   precaution,   never   leave:
-
 
one
  or   more   children   alone   and  
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-

 
a
  child   or   an   animal   in   a   vehicle  
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
-

 
the
  keys   within   reach   of   children  
inside

  the   vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors,
  use   the   "Child   Lock".
Take
 
care
 
not
 
to
 
open
 
the
 
rear
 
windows
 
by

  more   than   one   third.
To
  protect   young   children   from   the   rays  
of

  the   sun,   fit   side   blinds   to   the   rear  
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrests

 
of
 
the
 
outer
 
and
 
centre
 seats in row 2 in the table position, or
remove
 
these
 
seats
 
in
 
row
 
2,
 
so
 
that
 
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touch

 
the
 
seats
 
in
 
row
 
2.
