Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed 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.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a
fault with
the anti-lock braking system (ABS)
which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by a
message in the
instrument panel screen, it indicates
a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system which
could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop. For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 310
miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period, it is advisable to avoid any sudden,
repeated and prolonged braking.
The ABS does not provide shorter braking
distances. On very slippery sur faces (ice,
oil, etc.) the ABS may extend braking
distances.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal ver y hard and do not
release it, even on a
slipper y sur face;
you will then be able to continue
steering the vehicle to avoid an
obstacle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Switching on
The DSC system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
Malfunction
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and confirmed by a message in the
instrument panel screen, indicates
a
fault with the DSC system.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a
long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a
risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!
If you are obliged to drive through water:
- c heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-

d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6
mph
(10


km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads. If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Never drive with the parking brake
applied – risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
Do not park and do not run the engine
with the vehicle stationary, in areas where
substances and combustible materials
(dry grass, leaves, etc.) can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system – risk
of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P , depending on
the type of gearbox.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle:

t emperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.

f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a
trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a
genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
CITROËN dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully; in
case of loss, inter vention by the CITROËN
dealer will be more efficient and quicker
if you present this number and the
confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.

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 when
leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
-

e
nsure that you are given the
confidential card,
-

h
ave the keys recorded by a CITROËN
dealer to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones which
can start the vehicle.
Confidential card
It contains the identification code necessary for
any work carried out by a CITROËN dealer on
the electronic immobiliser system. This code is
hidden by a
film, which should be removed only
if necessary.
Keep your card in a
safe place, never inside the
vehicle.
When undertaking a
long trip or journey,
however, it is advisable to take it with you along
with your personal papers.
