Lost keys, remote control
Go to a CITROËN dealer, taking with you the
vehicle's registration certificate, your personal
identification documents and if possible, the label
bearing the key code.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the
key code and the transponder code required to
order a new key. Electrical interference
The
K eyless Entry and Starting remote control
may not operate if close to certain electronic
devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong
magnetic fields, etc.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive
system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket
as there is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not press the buttons of your remote control
out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You
may stop it from working and the remote control
would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the
key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is
switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access
to the passenger compartment by the emergency
services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board),
remove the key from the ignition or take the
remote control with you when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic
engine immobiliser system; this could cause
malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering to engage the
steering lock.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a CITROËN
dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession
are the only ones which can start the vehicle.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control programme
incorporating the following systems:
-
A
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).
-
E
mergency braking assistance (EBA).
-
A
nti-slip regulation (ASR).
-
D

-
A
utomatic post-collision braking (APCB).
-
T
railer stability assist (TSA).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD system manages the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system optimises traction in order to
avoid 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, this system 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.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
This system allows control of the vehicle to be
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid
the risk of snaking.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
coupled with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal, signals that there is a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
