The audible (front and rear) and visual
(rear)  parking   sensor   system   consists  
of proximity sensors, installed in the
rear

  bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which
enters
  its   field   of   operation:   person,  
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle
during

  the   manoeuvre.
Certain
  objects   detected   at   the  
beginning of the manoeuvre will no
longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between

  and   below   the   sensors.
Examples:
  stake,   roadworks   cone   or  
pavement

  post.

by an audible signal and a message in
the
  screen.
Contact
  a   CITROËN   dealer   or   qualified  
workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice  or   snow.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or
  if   a   bicycle   carrier   is   fitted   (vehicle

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the   front   parking   sensors   are   triggered  
when an obstacle is detected in
front of the vehicle and the speed
of the vehicle remains below 6 mph
(10 km/h).
The

  tone   from   the   speaker   (front  
or rear) allows an obstacle to be
identified

  as   either   in   front   of   or  
behind

  the   vehicle.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral. The   parking   sensor   system  
cannot, in any circumstances,
take

  the   place   of   the   vigilance   and  
responsibility

  of   the   driver.

REVERSING CAMERA
The reversing camera is activated
automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The image is displayed in the touch
screen  tablet.
The reversing camera function may be
completed
  with   parking   sensors.
The reversing camera cannot in
any circumstances be a substitute
for vigilance on the part of the
driver. High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do
not direct the lance within 30 cm of
the
  camera   lens.
The superimposed representation of
guide
  lines   helps   with   the   manoeuvre.
They
  are   represented   by   lines   marked  
"on the ground" and do not allow the
position of the vehicle to be determined
relative

  to   tall   obstacles   (for   example:  
other

  vehicles,   ...).
Some deformation of the image is
normal. The blue lines represent the general
direction of the vehicle (the difference
corresponds to the width of your
vehicle
  without   the   mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of
about 30 cm beyond the edge of your
vehicle's
  rear   bumper.
The green lines represent distances of
about 1 and 2 metres beyond the edge
of
  your   vehicle's   rear   bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent
the
  maximum   turning   circle.
Opening the tailgate causes the
display
  to   disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using
  a   soft,   dry   cloth.

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.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND

DYNAMIC STABILITY

CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement  the  ABS.
The
ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on
  acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the
  wheels   skidding,   by   acting   on   the  
brakes

  of   the   drive   wheels   and   on   the  
engine.

  It   also   allows   the   directional  
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on

  acceleration.
Use the DSC to hold your course
without
  attempting   to   countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory
  followed   by   the   vehicle   and  
that required by the driver

, the DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine
  and   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
wheels,

  in   order   to   put   the   vehicle   back  
on

  course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting   the   vehicle   when   stuck   in   mud  
or

  snow,   or   on   loose   ground...),   it   could  
prove useful to deactivate the

ASR and
DSC
  systems   to   make   the   wheels   spin  
and

  regain   grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC   systems   offer   increased  safety during normal driving, but
should
  not   incite   the   driver   to   take   risks  
or

  to   drive   at   high   speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking
  components,   the   electronic  
components

  and   the   fitting   and   repair  
procedures

  are   observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked
  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the ASR or
DSC
  is   triggered.
They engage again:
-

automatically above 30 mph

(50
 
km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the LED come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
-

Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-

 
The

 
LED   comes   on:   the  
ASR
  and  
DSC systems no longer come into
play

. -

manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending

  on   model).Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
  workshop   to   have   the   system  
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the

  tyres   are   under-inflated.   Check   the  
pressure

  of   each   tyre.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit
  off-road   activities   such   as:
-

crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear of

f components (fuel pipe,
fuel
  cooler,   ...),   particularly   by  
obstacles or stones,
-


driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-

 
crossing
  a   stream.
On snow, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor
 
grip
 
to
 
be
 
accommodated.
The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters
 
in
 
the
 
best
 
way.
