Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled   with   the   STOP w arning lam p, a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal   and   a
 m

essage,   it   indicates   that   there   is   a   fault
 w

ith   the   electronic   brake   force   distribution
 (

EBFD),   which   could   cause   loss   of   control
 o

f   the   vehicle   when   braking.
Operation
When this warning lamp comes on, accompanied   by   an   audible   signal  
a

nd   a   message,   it   indicates   that   there  
i

s   a   fault   with   the   ABS,   which   could  
c

ause loss of control of the vehicle
when
 b

raking. Depending
  on   version,   your   vehicle   has   a  
s

ystem   to   help   driving   on   snow:   intelligent
traction control .
This   system   detects   situations   of   difficult  s
ur face   adhesion   that   could   make   it   difficult   to  
m

ove   off   or   make   progress   on   deep   fresh   snow  
o

r   compacted   snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control
 

limits   the   amount   of   wheel   slip   to  
p

rovide   the   best   traction   and   trajectory   control  
f

or   your   vehicle.
The
  use   of   snow   tyres   is   strongly  
r

ecommended   on   sur faces   offering   low   levels  
o

f   adhesion.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)When changing w heels  ( tyres  a nd  r ims),  m
ake   sure   that   these   are   approved   for  
y

our   vehicle.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make  
i

tself   felt   by   slight   vibrations   of   the   brake  
ped

al.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In
 
both
 
cases,
 
contact
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or
 
a
 
q

ualified
 w

orkshop.

Safety

222
The driver must ensure that passengers use the   seat   belts   correctly   and   that   they   are   all  
r

estrained   securely   before   setting   off.
Wherever
  you   are   seated   in   the   vehicle,  
a

lways fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do
  not   interchange   the   seat   belt   buckles   as  
t

hey   will   not   fulfil   their   role   fully.
The
  seat   belts   are   fitted   with   an   inertia   reel  
p

ermitting   automatic   adjustment   of   the  
l

ength   of   the   strap   to   your   size.   The   seat   belt  
i

s   stowed   automatically   when   not   in   use.
Before
  and   after   use,   ensure   that   the   seat  
b

elt   is   reeled   in   correctly.
The
  lower   part   of   the   strap   must   be  
p

ositioned   as   low   as   possible   on   the   pelvis.
The
  upper   part   must   be   positioned   in   the  
h

ollow   of   the   shoulder.
The
  inertia   reels   are   fitted   with   an   automatic  
l

ocking   device   which   comes   into   operation   in  
t

he   event   of   a   collision,   emergency   braking  
o

r   if   the   vehicle   rolls   over.   You   can   release  
t

he   device   by   pulling   the   strap   firmly   and  
t

hen   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  
a

nd   a   half   metres.
Never
  use   the   same   seat   belt   to   secure   more  
t

han   one   person.
Never
  allow   a   child   to   travel   on   your   lap.
For
  more   information,   refer   to   the   "Child  
sea

ts"
 se
ction.
In
 
order
 
to
 
be
 
effective,
 
a
 
seat
 
belt
 
must:
-
 b

tightened
 
as
 
close
 
to
 
the
 
body
 
as
 p
ossible,
-
 
b

e
 
pulled
 
in
 
front
 
of
 
you
 
with
 
a
 
smooth
 
m

ovement,
 
checking
 
that
 
it
 
does
 
not

any
 
trace
 
of
 
cuts
 
or

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning
  device   may   be   deployed  
b

efore   and   independently   of   the   airbags.  
D

eployment   of   the   pretensioners   is  
a

ccompanied   by   a   slight   discharge   of  
h

armless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due   to   the  
a

ctivation   of   the   pyrotechnic   cartridge  
i

ncorporated   in   the   system.
In
  all   cases,   the   airbag   warning   lamp   comes   on.
Following
  an   impact,   have   the   seat   belts  
s

ystem   checked,   and   if   necessary   replaced,  
b

y   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
In
 
accordance
 
with
 
current
 
safety
 
r

egulations,
 
for
 
all
 
repairs
 
on
 
your
 
vehicle's
 s
eat
 
belts,
 
go
 
to
 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop
 
with
 t
he
 
skills
 
and
 
equipment
 
needed,
 
which
 
a
 
C

ITROËN
 
dealer
 
is
 
able
 
to
 
provide.
Have
 
your
 
seat

checked
 
regularly
 
by
 
a

 
CITROËN

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute  the   load   in   the   trailer   so   that   the h
eaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches   the
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10 %   for   every   1 000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
Refer

When
 
not
 
towing
 
a
 
trailer,
 
remove
 
the
 
q

uickly-detachable
 
tow
 
ball
 
before
 
d

riving. The

Practical information

323
* The weight values are calculated with a towbar.
* *   The   kerb   weight   is   equal   to   the   unladen   weight   +   driver   (75   kg).
***
  
T
he   weight   of   the   braked   trailer   can   be   increased,   within   the   GTW   limit,   if   the   GV W   of   the   towing   vehicle   is   reduced   by   an   equal   amount;   warning,  
t

owing   using   a   lightly   loaded   towing   vehicle   may   have   an   adverse   effect   on   its   road   holding.
