ORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check
that the parking brake is applied
firmly
before leaving the vehicle.Pull
on the parking brake lever, only
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking
brake when the vehicle is
moving,
apply the brake by pulling
gently
to avoid locking the rear wheels
(risk
of skidding).
Press this button, the direction
indicators
flash.
They
can
operate
with
the
ignition
off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving
in
unusual
conditions.
When
parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the
parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a
gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly
if the vehicle is loaded.
If the parking brake is still on or has not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes
on in the instrument panel.
Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lamps come
on automatically.
They
switch off
automatically
the first time you
accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them of

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.

Driving safely
Different modes
are
available:
Normal (ESC)
ESC OFF Snow
This mode allows the vehicle
to adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front
wheels,
on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
Off road
(mud, wet grass, ...)
When moving off, this
mode allows considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and
regain
"grip".
At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as
to
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to meet the driver's
requirements
as fully as possible.
Sand
This mode allows a little
wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to
allow the vehicle to move
forward and reduces the risk
of
getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand
as
the
vehicle may become stuck.
This mode is calibrated for a
low
level
of
skidding,
based
on dif
ferent conditions of grip
encountered
on
the
road.
When the ignition is switched off, the
system returns automatically to DSC
mode.
This mode is only suitable
for
specific
conditions
encountered when moving of
f
or
at
low
speed.
Above
30
mph
(50
km/h)
the system returns to DSC mode

Driving safely
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly the system automatically
applies
the brakes to avoid a collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
brake lamps on your vehicle come
on
to warn other road users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically if the difference in
speed
between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead does not exceed 9 mph
(15
km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The
automatic braking may bring
the vehicle to a complete stop if the
situation
requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary temporarily (for about
1.5 seconds)
to allow the driver to take
back
control by pressing the brake
pedal. The triggering of the system may
cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal
quickly enough during automatic
braking.
During
automatic braking, the
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled by the system, by pressing
firmly
on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is
automatically
put out of service: it
no
longer operates.
You must go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop to have the system
made
operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that
are stationary or moving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles),
pedestrians or animals, nor non-
reflective
stationary objects.
The system is not triggered or is
interrupted
if the driver:
-
accelerates strongly
-
or turns the steering wheel
suddenly
(avoiding manoeuvre).
In
difficult weather conditions (very
heavy
rain, snow, fog, hail...),
braking
distances increase, which
can reduce the ability of the system to
avoid
a collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly
vigilant.
Never leave accumulations of
snow
or any object projecting
above the bonnet or in front of
the
roof: this might fall into the field of
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.

Advice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear
a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not allow anything to come between
the occupants and the airbags
(a
child, pet, object...), do not attach or
fix
anything near to the airbags or their
trajectories
when inflating as this could
cause
injuries when the airbags are
deployed.
Never
modify the original definition of
your vehicle, particularly in the area
directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been
stolen or broken into, have the
airbag
systems checked.
All
work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned
are observed, a risk of
injury
or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed
cannot be ruled out.
The
bag inflates
almost instantly (within a
few
milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via
openings provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by
its spokes or resting your hands on
the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on
the dashboard.
Do
not smoke as deployment of the
airbags
can cause burns or the risk of
injury
from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel
or hit it violently.
Do
not fit or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause
injuries with deployment of the
airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the
seats, compatible with the deployment
the
lateral airbags. For information
on the range of seat covers suitable
for your vehicle, you can contact a
CITROËN dealer
.
For more information on accessories,
refer to "Other accessories" in
section 6.
Do
not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs
(clothing...).
This
could cause
injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral
airbag
is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This
equipment
only
operates
once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag
will
not
operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of
smoke
and
a
noise,
due
to
the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated
in
the
system.
This
smoke
is
not
harmful,
but
sensitive individuals may experience
some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
The passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed
rearward
facing.

Deployment
They are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious
front impact applied to all or part of the
front impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane directed from the front towards
the rear of the vehicle.
The
front airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement. Deactivating the passengers front
airbag
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be
deactivated.
-
W
ith the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger's front
airbag deactivation switch.
- T urn it to the "OFF" position.
-
Remove
the key keeping the switch
in
the new position.
The passenger's front airbag
warning lamp in the instrument
panel remains on while the
airbag
is deactivated.If the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously, do not install
a rearward facing child seat and
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rearward facing child seat on
the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the
child would risk being killed or
seriously
injured if the airbag were
deployed.Reactivation
In the
"OFF" position, the passenger's
front airbag will not be deployed in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the passenger's front airbag switch
to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and thus ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, consult a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
The
front airbags are fitted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front
passenger.
