 ELECTRIC  WINDOWS 
   1.   Driver's electric window control 
  2.   Passenger electric window control  
 There are two operating modes:  Lower the window fully, then raise it, 
it will rise in steps of a few centimetres 
each time the control is pressed. 
Repeat the operation until the window 
is fully closed. 
 Continue to press the control for at 
least one second after the window 
closed position has been reached. 
 The safety anti-pinch does not operate 
during these operations.  
  Safety  anti-pinch 
 When the window rises and meets an 
obstacle, it stops and partially lowers.  
  One-touch  mode 
 Press or pull the control, beyond the 
point of resistance. The window opens 
or closes fully when the control is 
released. Pressing the control again 
stops the movement of the window. 
 The electrical functions of the electric 
windows are deactivated: 
   -   approximately 45 seconds after the 
ignition is switched off, 
  -   after one of the front doors is  opened, if the ignition is off.   
  Good  practice 
 If the electric windows meet an 
obstacle during operation, you must 
reverse the movement of the window. 
To do this, press the control concerned. 
 When the driver operates the 
passenger electric window controls, 
they must ensure that no one is 
preventing correct closing of the 
windows. 
 The driver must ensure that the 
passengers use the electric windows 
correctly. 
 Be aware of children when operating 
the windows. 
 Following several consecutive closing/
opening operations of the electric 
window control, a protection system is 
triggered which only authorises closing 
of the window. After closing, wait 
approximately 40 minutes. Once this 
time has elapsed, the control becomes 
operational  again.  
  Manual  mode 
 Press or pull the control, without 
passing the point of resistance. The 
window stops when you release the 
control.  
  Reinitialisation 
 Following reconnection of the battery, 
or in the event of a malfunction, the 
safety anti-pinch function must be 
reinitialised.

 PARKING  BRAKE 
  Applying 
 Pull the parking brake lever up to 
immobilise your vehicle. 
 Check that the parking brake is applied 
fi rmly before leaving the vehicle.   Pull on the parking brake lever,  
only 
with the vehicle stationary . 
 In the exceptional case of use of the 
parking brake when the vehicle is 
moving, apply the brake by pulling 
gently to avoid locking the rear wheels 
(risk  of  skidding).   
 HAZARD WARNING LAMPS 
 Press this button, the direction 
indicators fl ash. 
 They can operate with the ignition off. 
 The hazard warning lamps should only 
be used in dangerous situations, when 
stopping in an emergency or when 
driving in unusual conditions. 
 When parking on a slope, direct your 
wheels towards the pavement and pull 
the parking brake lever up. 
 There is no advantage in engaging 
a gear after parking the vehicle, 
particularly if the vehicle is loaded. 
 If the parking brake is still on or has 
not been released properly, this is 
indicated by this warning lamp which 
comes on on the instrument panel. 
  Automatic operation of hazard 
warning lamps 
 When braking in an emergency, 
depending on the force of deceleration, 
the hazard warning lamps come 
on automatically. They switch off 
automatically the fi rst time you 
accelerate. 
 It is also possible to switch them off by 
pressing the switch on the dashboard.    Releasing 
 Pull the lever and press the button to

   Parking  sensors   
 The audible and/or visual rear parking 
sensor system consists of four 
proximity sensors, installed in the 
rear bumper. The sensors detect any 
obstacle which enters the fi eld: person, 
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle 
during the manoeuvre. 
 Certain objects detected at the 
beginning of the manoeuvre will no 
longer be detected at the end of the 
manoeuvre due to the blind spots 
between and below the sensors. 
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or 
pavement post.

 An audible signal confi rms the 
activation of the system by engaging 
reverse gear. 
 The proximity information is indicated 
by an audible signal which becomes 
more rapid as the vehicle approaches 
the obstacle. When the distance 
between the rear of the vehicle and 
the obstacle is less than approximately 
thirty centimetres, the audible signal 
becomes continuous.

  Activation  /  Deactivation   Malfunction 
 In the event of a malfunction, when 
reverse gear is engaged the LED in the 
button comes on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in the 
screen. Contact a CITROËN dealer or 
a qualifi ed workshop.  
  Good  practice 
 In bad weather or in winter, ensure that 
the sensors are not covered with mud, 
ice or snow. 
 The system will be deactivated 
automatically if a trailer is being towed 
or if a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle 
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle carrier 
recommended by CITROËN). 
 The parking assistance cannot, in 
any circumstances, take the place of 
the vigilance and responsibility of the 
driver.  
 You can activate or deactivate 
the system by pressing this 
button. 
 The activation or deactivation 
of the system is stored when 
the vehicle stops.

 ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM 
(ABS - EBFD) 
 The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake 
force distribution) systems improve the 
stability and manoeuvrability of your 
vehicle on braking, in particular on 
poor or slippery surfaces. 
 The ABS prevents locking of the 
wheels, the EBFD provides control of 
the braking pressure wheel by wheel.  If this warning lamp comes 
on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message 
in the screen, it indicates a 
malfunction of the ABS which 
could result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle on braking. 
 If this warning lamp comes 
on, together with the brake 
and STOP warning lamps, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the 
screen, it indicates a malfunction of 
the electronic brake force distribution 
which could result in a loss of control of 
the vehicle on braking. 
 EMERGENCY  BRAKING 
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA) 
 In an emergency, this system enables 
the optimum braking pressure to be 
reached more quickly, press the pedal 
fi rmly without releasing it. 
 It is triggered by the speed at which the 
brake pedal is activated. 
 This alters the resistance of the brake 
pedal under your foot. 
 To prolong the operation of the 
emergency braking assistance system: 
keep your foot on the brake pedal. 
  Good  practice 
 The anti-lock braking system comes 
into operation automatically when 
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not 
reduce the braking distance. 
 On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, 
etc...) the ABS may increase the 
braking distance. When braking in 
an emergency, do not hesitate to 
press the brake pedal fi rmly, without 
releasing the pressure, even on a 
slippery surface, you will then be able 
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle 
to avoid an obstacle. 
 Normal operation of the ABS may be 
felt by slight vibration of the brake 
pedal. 
 When changing wheels (tyres 
and rims), ensure that these are 
recommended by CITROËN.    Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
 In both cases, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

 ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) 
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY 
CONTROL (DSC) 
 These systems are linked and 
complement  the ABS. 
 The ASR system is very useful for 
maintaining optimum drive and 
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle 
on acceleration. 
 The system optimises drive to prevent 
the wheels skidding, by acting on the 
brakes of the drive wheels and on the 
engine. It also allows the directional 
stability of the vehicle to be improved 
on acceleration. 
 Use the DSC to hold your course 
without attempting to countersteer. 
 If there is a variation between the 
trajectory followed by the vehicle and 
that required by the driver, the DSC 
system automatically acts on the 
engine and the brake of one or more 
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back 
on course. 
  Deactivating  the  ASR/DSC 
systems 
 In certain exceptional conditions 
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud 
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could 
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and 
DSC systems to make the wheels spin 
and regain grip.   Operating  check 
  Good  practice 
 The ASR/DSC systems offer increased 
safety during normal driving, but 
should not incite the driver to take risks 
or to drive at high speed. 
 The operation of these systems is 
ensured if the recommendations 
of the manufacturer regarding 
the wheels (tyres and rims), the 
braking components, the electronic 
components and the fi tting and repair 
procedures within the CITROËN 
network are observed. 
 After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop.  
  Operation of the ASR and DSC 
systems 
 The LED fl ashes when the 
ASR or DSC is triggered.  
  They  engage  again: 
   -   automatically  above  30  mph  (50 km/h),   When a malfunction of the 
systems occurs, the warning 
lamp comes on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a 
message in the screen. 
 Contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop to have the system 
checked. 
 The warning lamp may also come on if 
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the 
pressure of each tyre.   
   -   Press  the  button  or  turn  the dial to the DSC OFF 
position (depending on 
model). 
  -  
The warning lamp comes on: the ASR and 
DSC systems no longer come into play.  
  -   manually  by  pressing  the  button again or by turning 
the dial to this position 
(depending  on  model).

  "GRIP CONTROL" 
           Correct  use 
 Your vehicle is designed principally to 
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you 
to drive on other less passable terrain 
occasionally. 
 However, particularly when your 
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not 
permit off-road activities such as: 
   -   crossing  and  driving  on  ground which could damage the underbody 
or tear off components (fuel pipe, 
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by 
obstacles or stones, 
  -   driving on ground with steep  gradients and poor grip, 
  -   crossing  a  stream.   
 On snow, mud and sand, traction 
control is obtained by a compromise 
between safety, grip and traction, 
which is associated with the Michelin 
®  
Latitude Tour HP M+S tyres. 
 It adapts to allows most conditions of 
poor grip to be accommodated. 
 The accelerator pedal must be pressed 
enough for there to be adequate 
engine power to manage the various 
parameters in the best way.
