Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit together with the STOP and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by a message and an audible
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The normal operation of the ABS may result in slight vibrations in 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.
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) / Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using
engine braking and by applying the brakes on
the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It
also enhances the vehicle's directional stability
while accelerating.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or

Driving
6Parking the vehicle with the brake
released
In very cold conditions (ice), applying the
parking brake is not recommended.
To immobilise the vehicle, engage a gear or
place the chocks against one of the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, mode P is
automatically selected when the ignition
is switched off. The wheels are blocked.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer
to the corresponding section.
With an automatic gearbox, while mode
N is selected, opening the driver’s door
triggers an audible signal. It stops when the
driver's door closes again.
Deactivating automatic
operation
In some situations, for example when it is
extremely cold or when towing (e.g. caravan,
breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate
automatic operation of the system.
►

Start the engine.
►


Apply the parking brake with the control lever
,
if it is released.
►

T
ake your foot fully off the brake pedal. ►

Push and hold the control lever in the release
direction for at least 10 seconds and no more
than 15
seconds.
►
Release the control lever
.
►
Press and hold the brake pedal.
►

Pull the control lever in the application
direction for 2
seconds.
Deactivation of the automatic functions is
confirmed by illumination of this indicator
lamp in the instrument panel.
►

Release the control lever and the brake
pedal.
From now on, the parking brake can only be
applied and released manually using the control
lever

.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation (confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel going off).
Emergency braking
In the event of a fault with the brake pedal or
in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill,
driver under instruction), a continuous pull on
the electric parking brake control lever will brake
the vehicle. Braking takes place while the control
lever is being pulled; it is interrupted when the
control lever is released.
The ABS and DSC systems ensure stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed in the instrument panel.


If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:
–

the vehicle is completely stationary
, with your
foot on the brake pedal,
–

certain slope conditions are met,
–


the driver
’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually. After that, ensure that the
parking brake indicator lamp and the indicator
lamp
P in the electric parking brake control
lever are on fixed.

the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may interfere with the operation of
the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
►

ensure that the mat is secured correctly
,
►

never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation

Driving
Driver Attention Warning
Depending on version, the "Coffee Break Alert"
system is combined with the "Driver Attention
Warning" system.


Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the
driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by
identifying variations in trajectory compared to
the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
km/h)).
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the
“Take care! ” message, accompanied by an
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Dangerous
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

poor visibility (inadequate lighting of the
road, falling snow

, heavy rain, dense fog,
etc.);
–

dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle,
low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating shade and light, etc.);
–


windscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty

, misted, frost-covered, snow-
covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.
–

lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow
,
mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.);
–

close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
–


roads that are narrow
, winding, etc.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:

Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles
(e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when disengaging
reverse gear.
