  &   Start   mode   does   not   affect   the  
f

unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
  braking,   power   steering...

Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you   to   obtain   optimum   braking   in   complete  
s

afety   in   emergency   situations:
-
 
a
nti-lock   braking   system   (ABS),
-
 
e
lectronic   brake   force   distribution   (EBFD),
-
 
e
mergency   braking   assistance   (EBA).Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking,  
i

n   particular   on   poor   or   slippery   sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation   automatically   when   there   is   a   risk   of  
w

heel   lock.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make   itself  
f

elt   by   slight   vibration   of   the   brake   pedal.
When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
v

ery   firmly   without   releasing   the  
p

ressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, together   with   the   STOP  and   ABS
warning
  lamps,   accompanied   by   an  
a

udible
 
signal   and   a   message   in   the   screen,   it  
i

ndicates
 
a   malfunction   of   the   electronic   brake  
f

orce
 
distribution   which   could   result   in   loss   of  
c

ontrol
 
of
  the   vehicle   when   braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
When
  replacing   wheels   (tyres   and  
r

ims),   ensure   that   they   conform   to   the  
ma

nufacturer's
 r
ecommendations.
If
  this   warning   lamp   comes   on,  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal  
a

nd   a   message   in   the   screen,   it  
i

ndicates
 
a   malfunction   of   the   anti-lock   braking  
s

ystem
 
which   could   result   in   loss   of   control   of  
t

he
 
vehicle   when   braking.
In
 
either
 
case,   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.

Towing with the gT RACIn g version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a t
owbar.   The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.
