Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP  and   ABS   warning  
l

amps,   accompanied   by   an   audible   signal  
a

nd   a   message,   it   indicates   that   there  
i

s   a   fault   with   the   electronic   brake   force  
di

stribution
 (
EBFD).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp indicates that there is a fault
with
  the   ABS. Depending
  on   version,   your   vehicle   has   a  s
ystem   to   help   driving   on   snow:   intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur 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
provide
  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.
When
  changing   wheels   (tyres   and  
r

ims), ensure that these are approved
for
  your   vehicle.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make  
i

tself   felt   by   slight   vibrations   of   the   brake  
ped

al.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In
 
both
 
cases,   have   the   system   checked   by   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop   as  
s

oon
 
as
 
possible.
The
 
vehicle   retains   conventional   braking.   Drive  
c

arefully
 
at   moderate   speed.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do
  not   interchange   the   seat   belt   buckles   as  
t

hey   will   not   fulfill   their   role   fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting
  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
belt
  is   reeled   in   correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned
  as   low   as   possible   on   the   pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow
  of   the   shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking
  device   which   comes   into   operation   in  
t

he   event   of   a   collision,   emergency   braking  
o

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
accompanied
  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  
o

n.
Following
  an   impact,   have   the   seat   belts  
s

ystem   checked,   and   if   necessary   replaced,
