If the ambient light level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
Flashing the headlamps again pauses the
function and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode.
The function is disabled automatically below
9
mph (15 km/h).
If main beam is nevertheless necessary, flash
the headlamps again; main beam will then
remain on until the vehicle reaches a
speed of
25
mph (40 km/h).
Above 25
mph (40 km/h), the function is
reactivated automatically (provided that the
headlamps have not been flashed again in the
meantime, to change to dipped beam).

Horn
F Press the central part of the steering wheel.
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.
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.
Safety

70
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Switching on
This system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a grip or trajectory problem, this
system comes into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
F

P
ress this button to deactivate the system.
The button's warning lamp comes on
accompanied by a
message in the instrument
panel screen, indicating that the ASR system is
deactivated.
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on.
F

P
ress this button again to reactivate it
manually.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a
fault
with the ASR system.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a


qualified workshop. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
Safety

71
Intelligent Traction Control
System to improve traction on slippery sur faces
(snow, ice, mud, etc.)
This system checks for situations of difficult
sur face grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control takes over from the ASR system, by
transferring drive to the wheel with the best grip
on the ground to provide the best traction and
trajectory control.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, this system is
deactivated.
F

P
ress this button to switch the system on;
the warning lamp in the button comes on.
This system is active up to about 19
mph
(30


km/h).
Once the speed exceeds 19
mph (30 km/h),
the system is deactivated automatically, but the
warning lamp in the button stays on. The system is reactivated automatically
as soon as the speed drops below 19
mph
(30

km/h).
Deactivation
F Press this button to deactivate the system;
the warning lamp in the button goes off and
the ASR system is active again.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the intelligent
t raction control, this warning lamp
comes on.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
Load inertia control
All such variations have an effect on braking,
traction, the behaviour of the vehicle when
cornering and the tendency to overturn.
The true total weight of a

commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on the load
carried. As a

result, the centre of gravity of the
vehicle can move, both longitudinally and in
height. Load inertia control estimates the true total
weight of the vehicle by analysing its behaviour
under acceleration and braking.
This system then adapts the operation of the
DSC and ASR systems according to the weight
distribution in the vehicle. In critical situations,
your vehicle therefore remains more securely
on its intended trajectory.
Hill Descent Control
System that provides assistance when
descending on sur faces with poor grip (mud,
gravel, etc.) or on a
steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of
control of the vehicle while descending a
hill.
It keeps the vehicle at a
steady speed during
a


descent by acting independently and with
varying force on each of the brakes.

release the accelerator and brake pedals; the
indicator lamp in the button flashes.
The brake lamps come on automatically when
the system is brought into operation.
If the speed of the vehicle exceeds 19
mph
(30
km/h), the system is automatically
deactivated, but the indicator lamp in the button
stays on.
The system reactivates automatically as soon
as the speed of the vehicle drops below 19
mph
(30


km/h).You can depress the accelerator or brake
pedal again at any time. For the system to activate, the slope must
be greater than 8%.
Do not use the system with the gearbox
in neutral.
Engage an appropriate gear for the speed
of the vehicle, to avoid the engine stalling.
Deactivation
F Press this button to switch off the system;
the indicator lamp in the button goes out.
Above 30
mph (50 km/h), the function is

c ontrol system, this warning lamp
comes on.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
If you install a
front bench seat as an
accessory, it must be fitted with approved
seat belts.
Safety

Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load, the vehicle must remain within the
m aximum authorised weight, the Gross Vehicle
Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest part
placed on the floor in front of the rear wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a
roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the
maximum load of the roof bar anchor points.
Adhere to the maximum permissible weight,
according to CITROËN dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create
a
risk of accident.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent
a nd efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2
to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
For more information on the Technical
data of your vehicle and particularly on
towable loads, refer to the corresponding
section.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
If your vehicle is fitted with a

drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
