all of which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit,
mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.We draw your attention to the following
points:
-

T
he fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by
CITROËN may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN
dealer for information on the range of
recommended accessories.
-

A
s a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for the
vehicle's electronic systems, is
reser ved strictly for CITROËN dealers
or qualified workshop, equipped

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 electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.

Safety

110
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.
Intelligent traction control
If you vehicle has this function, 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 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).
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
