Driving safely
Labels are applied at various
points
on
your
vehicle.
They
carry safety warnings as well as
vehicle
identification
information.
Do
not
remove
them:
they
form

GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
For any work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the
technical
information, skills and
equipment required, all of which a
CITROËN
dealer is able to provide.We draw your attention to the
following points:
-
The
fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not listed by
CITROËN
may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN
dealer for information on the range
of
recommended accessories.
-
As a safety measure, access to
the
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's electronic systems,
is reserved strictly for CITROËN
dealers
or qualified workshops,
equipped with the special tools
required
(risk of malfunctions of the
vehicle's electronic systems that
could
cause breakdowns or serious
accidents).
The
manufacturer
cannot be held responsible if this
advice
is not followed.
-
Any
modification or adaptation
not intended or authorised by
Automobiles CITROËN or carried
out without meeting the technical
requirements
defined by the
manufacturer would lead to the
suspension of the legal and
contractual
warranties.Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a
CITROËN dealer for the specification
of
transmitters which can be fitted
(frequency

HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
H
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

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.
