Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power
steering,   this   warning   lamp   flashes   in  
t

he instrument panel, accompanied
by
  a   message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Switching off
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle   and   the   space   is   too   great,   the s

ystem may not be able to measure the
space.
Anything
  projecting   beyond   the   envelope
 o

f the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for
example)
  is   not   taken   into   account   by   the
 P

ark   Assist   system   during   a   manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road
dirt,
  ice   or   snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked
  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
If
 
the
 
system
 
is
 
deactivated
 
during
 
a

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres,
  once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d

etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
  more   tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does
  not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
  the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare wheel) every month as well as
before
  a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high
  loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
  label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
  for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.

e

quipment,   the   display   of   a   message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every

or
F

i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in
  the   temporary   puncture   repair   kit,   check  
t

he pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
 
i
f   it   is   not   possible   to   make   this   check  
i

mmediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
  cause   visible   bulging   of   the   tyre.  
D

o
 
not   satisfy   yourself   with   just   a   visual  
c

heck. The alert is maintained until the system
is
 r

einitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised  after   fitting   or   removing  
sn

ow
 c
hains.
Before
  reinitialising   the   system,   ensure  
t

hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre   pressure   label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does   not   give   a   warning   if   a   pressure   is  
i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.

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.

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.
