Warning/indicator lampStateCause Action/Observations
STOP Fixed, associated with
another warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message. Illumination of this warning
lamp is related to a serious
fault detected with the engine,
the braking system, the power
steering, etc., or a major
electrical fault. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop .
Parking brake Fixed. The parking brake is applied or
not properly released. Release the parking brake to extinguish the warning
lamp; keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Observe the safety recommendations.
For more information on the Parking brake
, refer to
the corresponding section.
Brakes Fixed. The brake fluid level has dropped
significantly. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Top up with brake fluid approved by CITROËN.
If the problem persists, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Fixed, associated with
the ABS warning lamp. The electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system has
a fault. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Foot on the
brake Fixed.
The brake pedal must be
depressed. With an automatic or electronic gearbox, depress the
brake pedal, engine running, before releasing the
parking brake, to release the selector lever and come
out of position P or N
.
If you wish to release the parking brake without
depressing the brake pedal, this warning lamp will
remain on.
Foot on the
clutch Fixed.
In STOP mode of Stop & Start,
the transition to START mode has
been rejected because the clutch
pedal is not fully pressed down. With a manual gearbox, you must fully depress the
clutch pedal to allow the change to engine START
mode.
Anti-lock
Braking System
(ABS) Fixed.
The anti-lock braking system has
a fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without
d e l ay.
Collision Risk
Alert/Active
Safety Brake Flashing.
The system is operating. The system brakes briefly so as to reduce the speed of
collision with the vehicle ahead.
Fixed, accompanied
by a message and an

Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
(EBFD) manages the braking pressure wheel
by wheel.
Safety
143
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Intelligent traction control
If your vehicle has this system, it features 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 grip.
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. If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP
and
ABS warning lamps, an audible
signal and a message, it means
that the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) is defective.
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.
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.
If you need to brake in an emergency,
press the brake pedal ver y firmly and
keep the pressure applied.
After an impact, have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

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 keeps it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to obser ve 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 – 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 that it can make and in the absence of
any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, reduction in
the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
