Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed. If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, this indicates a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal. In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 with grip or trajectory.
Deactivating the ASR (depending
on version)
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.It is however recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.

Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by a message as
well as illumination of the knob
(depending on version).
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Reactivating the ASR (depending
on version)
The 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:

Malfunction
The illumination of this warning

there is a fault with the system.
After an impact, have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Grip control
Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, whose operation has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during use of a passenger car).
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on to confirm your choice.
Associated with all-seasons Peak
Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system
offers a compromise between safety, grip
and traction. They are efficient in winter
and summer conditions.

Deactivation/Reactivation
In this case, this indicator lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
of f.
This operation is perfectly normal.
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain the temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is switched
on.
With/Without audio system
F Press this button.
Deactivation is confirmed by illumination of the
indicator lamp for the button and the display of
a message. Pressing this button again reactivates the
function.
The indicator lamp for the button is turned off
and a message is displayed.
With touch screen
F In the Driving/Vehicle
menu,
select the " Driving functions "
tab, then " Stop & Star t ".
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations , particularly on
flooded roads, refer to the corresponding
section. If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine may
stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.It is then necessary to switch off the ignition
and start the engine again.
The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system, the
button’s indicator lamp flashes for a few
moments, then remains on.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

When stationary or while driving, no objects
should be placed around the blade (or in its
recess) so as to not impede deployment of
the blade and its correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.)
the head-up display may not be legible or
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of
the information.
To clean the blade, use a clean, soft cloth
(such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre
cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth
or detergent or solvent products as these
could scratch the blade or damage the
anti-reflection coating.
This system operates when the engine is
running, and the settings are stored when
the ignition is switched off.
Memorising speeds
This function allows speed settings to be stored
that will then be offered for configuration of two
systems: speed limiter or cruise control.
You can store up to six speed settings for each
system.
Default speed settings have already been
stored.As a safety measure, the driver must only
carry out these operations to change
speed settings when the vehicle is
stationary.

If needed (for overtaking purposes, etc.),
the driver can exceed the speed setting by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the speed setting flashes.
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
On a steep descent, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.

of the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h), press
button 4 .

Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the first
level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is never
displayed when the " Close" trigger
threshold has been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be alerted of the presence of a moving
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or a
pedestrian present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified via the
vehicle configuration menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Without audio system
With audio systemIntelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid
a collision, this system will supplement the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
