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 ST
OP 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 BRAKING
ASSIST
ANCE (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 pressed down.
This
alters the resistance of the brake
pedal
under your foot.
To maintain 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 listed by
CITROËN
for the vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
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 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.
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
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly
advise you not to use high
pressure washing to clean the engine
compartment.
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.
If this warning lamp comes
on,
bleed
the
filter.
Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine
oil
is
changed.
HDi engines use advanced
technology.
All
work
requires
special training, so should be
entrusted
to
a
CITROËN
dealer.
Depending
on
country
of
sale.
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.
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 of
fers
specific products.

ENGINE CHARACTERISTICS
The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power
speed, fuel, CO
2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in the registration
certificate.
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.
WEIGHTS AND 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
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.
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).
The recommended nose weight is
the downward force on the towball
(removable
with or without tools).
GVW: gross vehicle weight, the
maximum
authorised weight.
GTW: gross train weight, the maximum
weight
for vehicle plus trailer.
The location of the manufacturer's
plate is given in chapter 9,
"Identification
markings" section.
In each country, it is imperative that
the maximum towed loads authorised
by local legislation are complied
with.
T
o find out your vehicle's towing
capacities and its gross train weight,
consult
a CITROËN dealer.
