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.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND

DYNAMIC STABILITY

CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement  the  ABS.
The
 
ASR
  system   is   very   useful   for  
maintaining

  optimum   drive   and  
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on

  acceleration.
The
  system   optimises   drive   to   prevent  
the

  wheels   skidding,   by   acting   on   the  
brakes

  of   the   drive   wheels   and   on   the  
engine.

  It   also   allows   the   directional  
stability

  of   the   vehicle   to   be   improved  
on

  acceleration.
Use the
d SC to hold your course
without
  attempting   to   countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory
  followed   by   the   vehicle   and  
that required by the driver

, the d SC
system
  automatically   acts   on   the  
engine

  and   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
wheels,

  in   order   to   put   the   vehicle   back  
on

  course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting   the   vehicle   when   stuck   in   mud  
or

  snow,   or   on   loose   ground...),   it   could  
prove useful to deactivate the a

SR and
DSC
  systems   to   make   the   wheels   spin  
and

  regain   grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC   systems   offer   increased  safety
  during   normal   driving,   but  
should

  not   incite   the   driver   to   take   risks  
or

  to   drive   at   high   speed.
The
  operation   of   these   systems   is  
ensured

  if   the   recommendations  
of

  the   manufacturer   regarding  
the

  wheels   (tyres   and   rims),   the  
braking

  components,   the   electronic  
components

  and   the   fitting   and   repair  
procedures

  are   observed.
After
  an   impact,   have   these   systems  
checked

  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the a SR or
DSC
  is   triggered.
They engage again:
-
 
automatically
  above   30   mph  
(50
 
km/h), When
  a   malfunction   of   the  systems
  occurs,   the   warning  
lamp

  and   the   LED   come   on,  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   a   message   in   the  
screen.
-


Press the button or turn
the dial to the

d SC o FF
position (depending on
model).
-
 
The

 
LED   comes   on:   the  
ASR
  and  
DSC

 
systems   no   longer   come   into  
play

. -
 
manually
  by   pressing   the  
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending

  on   model).Contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop   to   have   the   system  
checked.
The

  warning   lamp   may   also   come   on   if  
the

  tyres   are   under-inflated.   Check   the  
pressure

  of   each   tyre.

Check
  that   the   seat   belt   is   fastened  
correctly

  by   pulling   the   strap.
Seat belt(s) not fastened
warning lamp Unfastening
Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this
  warning   lamp   comes   on  
if a user at the front has not
fastened

  their   seat   belt.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely  before   moving   off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even
  for   short   journeys.
The
  seat   belts   are   fitted   with   an   inertia  
reel

  which   automatically   adjusts   the  
length

  of   the   strap   to   your   size.
d

o not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips,
  safety   pins,   etc.)   which   allow   the  
seat

  belt   straps   to   fit   loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly
  after   use.
After
  folding   or   moving   a   seat   or   a   rear  
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle

  is   ready   to   accommodate   the  
tongue.
d

epending on the nature and
seriousness
  of   any   impact,   the  
pretensioning

  device   may   be   deployed  
before

  and   independently   of   inflation  
of

  the   airbags.   It   instantly   tightens  
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
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.
The
 
front
 
passenger's
 
seat
 
may
 
be
 
fitted

 
with

 
a

 
presence

 
detector

,
 
in

 
which

 
case you should not place anything
heavy on this seat as this could trigger
the

 
alert.

Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use  (towing   the   maximum   load   up   a  
steep

  slope   in   high   temperatures),   the  
engine

  automatically   limits   its   power.  
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically

  cut   off   to   save   engine  
power

.
Tyres
Check
  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  
vehicle and of the trailer

, observing the
recommended
  pressures.
