Warning and indicator
lamps
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp can be accompanied
b y an audible signal and/or a message
displayed in a
screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or a
fault has occurred:
refer to the description of each lamp for further
information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.
For more information on equipment or
a
function, refer to the corresponding section.
Persistent warning lamp
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of a red or orange
warning lamp indicates a
fault that needs
further investigation, using any associated
message and the description of the warning
lamp in the documentation.
Where a warning lamp remains lit
The references (1) , (2) and (3) in the warning
and indicator lamp description indicate whether
you should contact a
qualified professional
in addition to the immediate recommended
actions.
(1) : You must stop as soon as it is safe to do
so and switch off the ignition.
(2): Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
(3) : Go to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

General safety
recommendations
Labels are affixed in different locations on
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
and vehicle identification information. Do
not remove them: they are an integral part
of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use
a qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required,
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
with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's
electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents).
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not
followed.
-

A
ny modification or adaptation not
intended or authorised by CITROËN
or carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined by
the manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the legal and contractual
warranties. Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a


radio communication
transmitter with an external aerial, you
must without fail contact a CITROËN
dealer for the specification of transmitters
which can be fitted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).

The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road
are not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
-

C
ollision Risk Alert,
-
I

ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
-

A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a
multifunctional camera
located at the top of the windscreen, and,
depending on version, a radar located in the
front bumper. As soon as the system detects a
potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a
slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
This system can be deactivated or
activated via the Driving /Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a
message.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be
deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required. In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-

t
owing a trailer,
-
c
arrying long objects on roof bars or roof
rack,
-
w
ith snow chains fitted,
-
b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-
t
owed vehicle, engine running,
-
d
amaged front bumper (version with radar),
-
f
ollowing an impact to the windscreen close
to the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated
after the use of certain "space-saver"
type spare wheels is detected (smaller
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated
after detection of a fault with the brake
pedal switch or with at least two brake
lamps.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of
your vehicle and be prepared to react at
any time to avoid an accident.
