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 EBFD 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 BRAKI n G
ASSIST

A n CE (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 activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To prolong the 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.
On 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
recommended by CITROËN. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITROËN dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).

Good practice
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
specific products.
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filterManual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
flows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
o

n acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
HDi engines use advanced
technology. All work requires
special training, which is assured
by a CITROËN dealer.
Depending on country of sale. In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure
washing to clean the engine
compartment is strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or in winter, ice may form on the brake
discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.

WEIGHTS An D TOWED LOADS
These values, expressed in kg, can be
found on the manufacturer's VIN plate
or label.
The maximum weights and towed
loads for your vehicle can be found on
the vehicle's registration certificate. The recommended nose weight is
the downward force on the towball
(removable with or without tools).
In each country, it is imperative that
the maximum towed loads authorised
by local legislation are complied
with. To find out your vehicle's towing
capacities and its gross train weight,
consult a CITROËN dealer.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
filled to 90%.
The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1000 metres. The value of
the towed load mentioned must be
reduced by 10 % for each additional
1000 metres.
With load transfer, the braked trailer
weight can be increased, on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
GTW is not exceeded. High ambient temperatures
may result in a reduction in the
performance of the vehicle in
order to protect the engine. When
the ambient temperature is higher
than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
The location of the manufacturer's
plate is given in chapter 9,
"Identification markings" section.
EnGInE CHARACTERISTICS
The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power
speed, fuel, CO
2 emissions...) for your
vehicle are given in the registration
document.
These characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed,
under conditions defined in European
legislation (Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, refer to the
manufacturer's website or sales
brochure for the model. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. GVW : gross vehicle weight, the
maximum authorised weight.
GTW : gross train weight, the
maximum weight for vehicle plus trailer.
Towing with a lightly loaded
vehicle can adversely affect road
holding.
Towing a trailer increases braking
distances.
When towing, the maximum permitted
speed is reduced (comply with the
legislation in force in the country).

In the event of an accident or impact
under the vehicle or to one of the
charging fl aps
In the event of an accident or an
impact to the underbody of the vehicle
(for example: contact with a milestone,
a raised kerb or other urban roadside
fi xture) or in the event of an impact,
even slight, to one of the charging
fl aps, these circumstances may
have serious repercussions for your
vehicle's electrical system or traction
battery and cause damage to them.
Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible by a franchised dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Never touch the "300 Volt" components
of the orange cables exposed and
visible inside or outside of the vehicle.
In the case of serious damage to the
traction battery:


- do not try to do anything to the
vehicle yourself,

- never touch liquids coming from
the traction battery and in the event
of contact between your body and
these products, wash abundantly
with water and contact a doctor as
soon as possible.
For washing the bodywork, do
not use a pressure greater than
80 bar.


In the event of exposure to a fi re
In the event of exposure to a fi re,
leave and have everybody leave the
vehicle immediately. Never intervene
yourself (risk of electrocution). You
must contact the emergency services
immediately. Warn them that your
vehicle is electric.


Audible environment


Outside

The driver should be particularly
vigilant when driving the electric
vehicle, as it makes very little noise
when moving.

Inside

While it is operating you may hear
noises that are specifi c to an electric
vehicle, such as:


- the traction battery relays when
starting,

- the vacuum pump when braking,

- tyre or wind noise from the vehicle
when driving.
When parking on a slope, it is
recommended that you apply the
parking brake before placing the drive
selector at P
. When moving off, o
knock may be felt, which is normal.
Washing precautions
Never wash the vehicle while the
battery is on charge.
Before washing the vehicle, check
that the access fl aps are closed and
the cover on each charging socket is
closed.
In order to avoid damaging the electric
units, the use of a high pressure jet
wash is strictly forbidden:


- under the bonnet,

- under the vehicle, around the
battery packs.
Long term
When your vehicle is to be laid up
for an indeterminate period, carry out
a complete recharge of the traction
battery every three months (following
the normal charging procedure). Before
carrying out the charging operation,
ensure that the 12 V ancillaries battery
is not disconnected or discharged. If
this is the case, refer to the "Ancillaries
battery" section for information on
connecting or charging it.


Laying up the vehicle


Precautions to take when
charging the battery


- Do not stay inside or near the
vehicle.
Particularly if you wear a pacemaker
or other medial electric device.
For complete information on the
precautions to take, contact your
doctor.


- Never do any work under the
bonnet as there is a risk of serious
injury.
Risk of cuts as the fan may start
turning at any time. Risk of burns
as some areas remain very hot for
even an hour after the end of the the
charging operation.
