Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distributionGroup of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-
an
ti-lock braking system (ABS),
-
el
ectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em
ergency braking assistance (EBA).
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
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.
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.

Fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates a malfunction of
the anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. Vehicle moving
Illumination of these two
warning lamps indicates a
malfunction of the electronic
brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
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 braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
Operating fault
Vehicle stationary
The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on (ON position). If it does not go off or
does not come on, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.Illumination of this warning lamp
indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system, which could
result in a loss of control of the

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size. The seat belt
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling the strap firmly and
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information, refer to the "Child
seats" section.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- be t
ightened as close to the body as
possible,
-
be p
ulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-
be u
sed to restrain only one person,
-
no
t bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
no
t be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners 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 airbag warning lamp
comes
o
n.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
