In
  some   weather   conditions   (e.g.   low  
t

emperature or humidity), the presence
of

g

lass   of   the   headlamps   and   rear   lamps  
i

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 exterior welcome lighting switches off a
utomatically   after   a   set   time,   when   the   ignition

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 on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The
  ABS   prevents   wheel   lock   in   the   event   of  
em

ergency
 b
raking.
The
  EBFD   manages   the   braking   pressure  
w

heel   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
increase
  in   the   effectiveness   of   the   braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel
  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
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically
  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
of
  physics.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
This system is activated automatically each
time  the   vehicle   is   started.
It comes into operation in the event of a
problem
  of   grip.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which   is   bogged   down,   stuck   in   snow,   on   soft  
g

round...),   it   may   be   advisable   to   deactivate  
t

he DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn
freely
  and   regain   grip.
This
 
is
 
indicated
 
by
 
the
 
flashing
 
of
 
t

his
 
warning
 
lamp
 
in
 
the
 
instrument

el. Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip
  permits.

After
 
an

have
 
the

checked
 
by

A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending
  on   your   engine   type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be
  registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
When it first comes on, about 6 litres of fuel
remain
 
in
 
the   tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning

The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a device which
helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions
in
  the   exhaust   gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The
  filler   neck   is   narrower,   allowing   only  
u

nleaded   petrol   nozzles   to   be   introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have the
fuel tank drained and filled with
the correct fuel before star ting the
engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel   filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes  
i

nto   contact   with   the   flap.   The   system   remains  
c

losed   and   prevents   filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle. Mechanical   device   which   prevents   filling   the   tank   of   a   Diesel   vehicle   with   petrol.   It   avoids   the   risk   of  
e

ngine   damage   that   can   result   from   filling   with   the   wrong   fuel.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill   the   tank.
In   order   to   ensure   a   good   flow   of   fuel,  
d

o not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device and pour
s l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device
  may   make   refuelling   impossible.
Before
  travelling   abroad,   we  
r

ecommend   that   you   check   with   the  
C

ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether   your  
v

ehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
the
  country   in   which   you   want   to   travel.
