s normal; it disappears after the lamps
h
ave been on for a few minutes. The
remote switching on of the lighting makes
y
our approach to the vehicle easier in poor
light. It is activated when the lighting control
i
s in the "
AUTO" position and the level of light
d
etected by the sunshine sensor is low.
Switching off
The activation, deactivation and choice of w

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) incorporating the following systems:

Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
a
nd contributes towards improved control in
c
orners, in particular on poor or slippery road
su
rfaces.
The
ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
em
ergency
b
raking.
The
electronic brake force distribution system
m
anages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more
q
uickly and therefore reduce the stopping
di
stance.
It
is triggered according to the speed at which
t
he brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
r
eduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
i
ncrease in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit
w
heel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
w
heels and on the engine. It also improves
t
he directional stability of the vehicle on
a
cceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by
t
he driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
a
utomatically acts on the brake of one or more
w
heels and on the engine to return the vehicle
t
o the required path, within the limits of the laws
o
f physics.

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.

Child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in
t
he event of an accident.
Check
that there is no seat belt or seat belt
b
uckle under the child seat as this could
de
stabilise
i
t.
Remember
to fasten the seat belts or the
c
hild seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation
to the child's body to a minimum,
even
for short journeys.
For
the installation of a child seat using a
s
eat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
o
n the child seat and that it is holding the
c
hild seat firmly against the seat of your
v
ehicle. If your front passenger seat is
a
djustable, move it for ward if necessary.
at t
he rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
between the front seat and:
-
a
rear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
f
acing child seat.
Recommendations
For this, move the front seat for ward and if necessary straighten its backrest.
For
o
ptimum
in
stallation

f
t

f
acing
c

s
eat is as close as possible to the backrest
o
f the vehicle's seat, or in contact if possible.
The
head restraint must be removed before
i
nstalling a child seat with a backrest on the
p
assenger
sea
t.
Ensure
that the head restraint is stowed or
a
ttached securely so that it is not thrown
a
round the vehicle in the event of sharp
b
raking.
Refit
the head restraint as soon as the child
s
eat is removed.Installing a booster
cushion
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- o ne or more children alone and
u
nsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a
child or an animal in a vehicle which
i
s exposed to the sun, with the windows
c
losed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
t
he vehicle.
To
prevent accidental opening of the doors,
u
se the child lock.
Take
care not to open the rear windows by
m
ore than one third.
To
protect young children from the rays of
t
he sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
The
chest part of the seat belt must be
p
ositioned on the child's shoulder without
t
ouching 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
s
eat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
g
uide at shoulder level.
