Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to   obtain   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly,   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
 e

fficiency.
When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
f

irmly   without   releasing   the   pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control)   optimises   traction   to   prevent   skidding  
o

f   the   wheels,   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the  
d

riving   wheels   and   on   the   engine.
The
  electronic   stability   programme   acts   on   the  
b

rake   of   one   or   more   wheels   and   on   the   engine  
t

o   keep   the   vehicle   on   the   trajectory   required  
b

y   the   driver,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws   of  
p

hysics.Activation
These systems are activated automatically each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
They
  come   into   operation   in   the   event   of   a   grip

Active City Brake
Active City Brakeis a driving assistance system that   aims   to   avoid   a   frontal   collision   or   reduce  
t

he   speed   of   an   impact   if   the   driver   does  
n

ot   take   sufficient   action   (inadequate   brake  
a

pplication).
This system is designed to improve driving safety.
I t   remains   the   driver's   responsibility   to c

ontinuously   monitor   the   state   of   the   traffic   and
 t

o assess the distances and relative speeds of
other
 v

ehicle.
Active City Brakecan in no circumstances replace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of t

he
 d
river.
never look at the laser sensor through an optical in strument ( magnifying g lass, m

icroscope...)   at   a   distance   of   less   than  
1

0   centimetres:   risk   of   eye   injury.Automatic
  braking   occurs   later   than   if  
d

one by the driver, so as to intervene
only
  when   there   is   a   high   risk   of  
c

ollision.
Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top of the windscreen,   this   system   detects   a   vehicle  
r

unning   in   the   same   direction   or   stationary  
a

head   of   your   vehicle.
When
  necessary,   the   vehicle's   braking   system  
i

s   operated   automatically   to   avoid   a   collision  
w

ith   the   vehicle   ahead.
conditions for activation
Active City Brakeonly operates if the following conditions   are   met:
●
 
i
gnition   on,
●
 
t
he   vehicle   is   in   a   for ward   gear,
●
 
s
peed   is   between   about   3   and   18   mph  
(

5 and   30   km/h),
●
 
t
he   braking   assistance   systems   (ABS,  
E

BFD,   emergency   braking   assistance)   are  
n

ot faulty,
●
 
t
he   trajectory   control   systems   (ASR,   DSC)  
a

re not deactivated or faulty,
●
 
t
he   vehicle   is   not   in   a   tight   corner,
●
 
t
he   system   has   not   been   triggered   during  
t

he   previous   10   seconds.
Safety

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches  the   vehicle   ahead   too   quickly   the  
s

ystem   automatically   applies   the   brakes   to  
a

void   a   collision. The
  collision   can   be   avoided   automatically   if   the d
ifference in speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle
  ahead   does   not   exceed   9   mph   (15   km/h).
Above
  this   threshold,   the   system   will   do   what
 i

s possible to avoid or reduce the accident by
lowering
  the   speed   of   impact.
The
  automatic   braking   may   bring   the   vehicle   to  
a

  complete   stop   if   the   situation   requires   it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily
  (for   about   1.5   seconds)   to   allow  
t

he   driver   to   take   back   control   by   pressing   the  
b

rake
 ped
al.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
  brake   lamps   on   your   vehicle   come   on   to  
w

arn   other   road   users.
After
  an   impact,   the   system   is  
a

utomatically   put   out   of   service:   it   no  
lon

ger
 ope
rates.
You
  must   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified   workshop   to   have   the   system  
m

ade   operational   again.
During
  automatic   braking,   the   driver  
c

an   always   obtain   a   higher   rate   of  
d

eceleration than that controlled by the
system,
  by   pressing   firmly   on   the   brake  
ped

al.
The
  triggering   of   the   system   may   cause  
t

he   engine   to   stall,   unless   the   driver  
d

epresses   the   clutch   pedal   quickly  
e

nough   during   automatic   braking.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not   block   traffic:   the   ground   must   be  
l

evel,   stable   and   not   slippery.
Apply
  the   parking   brake,   switch   off   the  
i

gnition   and   engage   first   gear*   to   lock  
t

he   wheels.
If
  necessary,   place   a   chock   under   the  
w

heel   diagonally   opposite   the   wheel   to  
be c

hanged.
It
  is   imperative   that   you   ensure   that   the  
o

ccupants   get   out   of   the   vehicle   and  
w

ait   where   they   are   safe.
Never
  go   underneath   a   vehicle   raised  
u

sing   a   jack;   use   an   axle   stand.

ould   slip   or   drop   -   Risk   of   injury!
Take
  care   to   position   the   jack   only   at  
o

ne   of   the   jacking   points   A or B under
the
  vehicle,   ensuring   that   the   vehicle's  
c

ontact sur face is well centred on the
head
  of   the   jack.   Other wise,   there   is   a  
r

isk   of   damage   to   the   vehicle   and/or   the  
j

ack   might   drop   -   Risk   of   injury!

DS3_en_Chap10_info-pratiques_ed01-2014
It is strongly recommended that before you   leave,   you   practise   fitting   the   snow  
c

hains   on   a   level   and   dry   sur face.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
T he   snow   chains   must   be   fitted   only  
t

o   the   front   wheels.   They   must   never  
b

e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take
  account   of   the   legislation   in   force  
i

n your country on the use of snow
chains
  and   the   maximum   running  
s

peed
 a
uthorised.
Avoid
  driving   with   snow   chains   on  
r

oads that have been cleared of snow,
to
  avoid   damaging   your   vehicle's   tyres  
a

nd   the   road   sur face.   If   your   vehicle  
i

s   fitted   with   alloy   wheels,   check   that  
n

o   part   of   the   chain   or   its   fixings   is   in  
c

ontact   with   the   wheel   rim.
Advice on installation
F If  you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during   a   journey,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat   sur face   on   the   side   of   the  r
oad.
