Under-inflationFixed, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message. One or more wheels has insufficient
pressure.
Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
You must reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or more
wheels.

,
refer to the corresponding section.
Flashing then fixed,
accompanied by
the Ser vice warning
lamp. The system is faulty: tyre pressures
are no longer monitored.

Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-lock
Braking System
(ABS) Fixed.
The anti-lock braking system has a
fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without
d e l ay.
Airbags Temporarily on. This warning lamp comes on for a
few seconds when you turn on the
ignition, then goes off.
This warning lamp should go off when the engine is started.

Alarm
System which protects and provides a deterrent
against theft and break-ins. It provides
perimeter protection and a self-protection
function.
Perimeter protection
The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a
door, the boot, the bonnet, etc.Self-protection function
The system checks for the putting out of
ser vice of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the
central control or the siren wiring are put
out of ser vice or damaged.
For all work on the alarm system,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Locking the vehicle with
alarm
Activation
F Press the locking button on the remote control.
The alarm is activated: an indicator
lamp in the switch panel to the left of
the steering wheel flashes once per
second.
Deactivation
F Press the unlocking button on the remote control.
The alarm is deactivated: the
indicator lamp goes off.
Triggering of the alarm
F Turn the vehicle off and exit.
The perimeter protection is activated 5
seconds
after pressing the locking button on the remote
control.
If an access (door, boot, etc.) is not closed fully,
the vehicle will not be locked, but the alarm will
be activated. When the vehicle is unlocked using
the remote control, rapid flashing
of the indicator lamp informs you
that the alarm was triggered during
your absence. When the ignition
is switched on, this flashing stops
immediately.
This is indicated by sounding of the siren and
flashing of the direction indicators for thirty
seconds.
Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm
F Lock the vehicle using the key.
Failure of the remote
control
To deactivate the monitoring functions:
F
U nlock the vehicle using the key.
F

O
pen the door; this sets off the alarm.
F

S
witch on the ignition; this stops the alarm.
Operating fault
When the ignition is switched on, continuous
illumination of the indicator lamp indicates a
fault with the system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

If you purchased your vehicle outside the
Brand network, we invite you to check
the configuration of these ser vices and,
if desired, have a dealer change it to suit
your wishes. In a multilingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice.
For technical reasons and, in particular,
to improve the quality of the "telematic
services" services for customers, the
manufacturer reser ves the right to carry
out updates to the vehicle's on-board
communication system.Electronic stability control
(ESC)
A set of the following Electronic Stability
systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
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.
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.
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. 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.
Safety

61
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 vibration of the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without ever releasing the
pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem of grip or trajectory.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
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. This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.F

P
ress this button until the
corresponding symbol appears
in the instrument panel.
The button indicator lamp comes on.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer have
an effect on engine operation or the brakes in
the event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30
mph (50 km/h).
Below 30
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually.
F

P
ress this button again to
reactivate the system manually.
The button indicator lamp goes off.

Towing the vehicle
Access to the tools
General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is greater than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towbar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery ser vice:
-
v
ehicle broken down on a motor way or
fast road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towbar
available.Towing your vehicle
F On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing on its left side.
The towing eye is installed in the boot under
t h e f l o o r.
To gain access to it:
F

O

pen the boot.
F

L

ift the floor and remove it.
F

R

emove the towing eye from the holder. F

S
crew the towing eye in fully, until it reaches
a stop.
F

I
nstall the towbar.With a manual gearbox: place the gear
lever in neutral.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position N .
Failure to follow this instruction may cause
damage to some components (braking,
powertrain, etc.) and the absence of
braking assistance when the engine is
restarted.
