Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc.) a continuous
pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
Braking takes place while the control lever is
being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
is released.
The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
If a failure of the ABS and DSC systems occurs,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.The emergency braking should only be
used in an exceptional situation.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel going off.
Deactivating automatic operation
In some situations, such as very cold weather
or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be
necessary to deactivate automatic operation of
the system.

Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, this function acts
on the vehicle's braking system.Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained
for
1 to 2 seconds.
With a manual gearbox, in the event
of the automatic emergency braking
bringing the vehicle to a complete stop,
the engine may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of the automatic emergency braking
bringing the vehicle to a complete stop,
keep the brake pedal pressed to stop
the vehicle moving off again.
If the radar and the camera have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting on
the vehicle's brakes.
Important
: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking action.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
The triggering of the braking may be
adjusted according to the driver's
driving actions (such as steering wheel
movements, actions on the accelerator
pedal, etc.).

Special features of the function
The speed of the vehicle must be between
3 mph (5 km/h) and 87 mph (140 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.
The speed of the vehicle must not be higher

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to
avoid a collision, this system will complete the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated in

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being
towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed in line with the manufacturer's
recommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
As an addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle remains below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The parking sensors can be deactivated in the
touch screen.

Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
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).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS. Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control
.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin 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 adhesion.
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.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
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. The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
