Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are approved
for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional
braking. Drive carefully at moderate
speed.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message,
it indicates that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Intelligent traction control
If fitted to your vehicle, it has a system to help
driving on snow: intelligent traction control .
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations, intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.
Safety
236
The following table describes the alerts and the messages displayed for the different driving situations.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.
Driving situations and associated alerts
SymbolAssociated message Comments
No vehicle detected:
the system operates as a standard cruise control.
Detection of a vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar:
the system operates as a standard cruise control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's
cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20 mph (30 km/h))
and then hold it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to observe the programmed inter-
vehicle time.
When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than
the "adjusted speed" displayed.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (speed setting less than 20
mph
(30 km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting to signal that
automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control paused" If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in the
absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane,
reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
Driving
248
Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the driver's
level of vigilance by identifying variations in
trajectory compared to the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).
Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning system" may be combined with the
"Fatigue detection system".The system cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not drive if you are tired or taking
medicines that can cause drowsiness. Once the system considers that the behaviour
of the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
level of alert.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "
Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system
may give alerts independent of the
driver's level of vigilance.
The following situations may inter fere
with operation of the system or prevent
it working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting
of the roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog,
...),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light,
...),
-
w
indscreen area located in front
of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered, snow-covered, damaged
or covered by a sticker,
-
l
ane markings absent, worn,
masked (snow, mud) or multiple
(roadworks,
...
),
-
c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-
r
oads that are narrow, winding, ...
The driver is then alerted by the message
"
Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The quality of reception of
the radio station listened
to gradually deteriorates
or the stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5
Mhz is displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station
listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area
through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the
short-cut menu to enable the system to check
whether there is a more power ful transmitter in
the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...)
block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.
I cannot find some radio
stations in the list of
stations received. The station is not received or its name has changed in the list. Press on the "Update list" button in the "Radio
stations" secondary menu.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name
(the title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.

frequency giving better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
