(ABS - EBF d )
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 EBF
d 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.

ASSIS t
A
nc E SYS t EM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be
reached
more quickly, press the pedal
firmly
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.
o
n 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 firmly, 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 CITR
o Ë n
dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and slide
the assembly on the driver's seat
side and on the individual passenger
seat
side.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into the buckle.
Check
that the seat belt is fastened
correctly
by pulling the strap.
Seat belt not fastened warning lamp
unfastening
Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this
warning lamp comes on
if a user at the front has not
fastened
their seat belt.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even
for short journeys.
The
seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel
which automatically adjusts the
length
of the strap to your size.
d
o not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips,
safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat
belt straps to fit loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly
after use.
After
folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle
is ready to accommodate the
tongue.
d
epending on the nature and
seriousness
of any impact, the
pretensioning
device may be deployed
before
and independently of inflation
of
the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Deployment
of the pretensioners is
accompanied
by a slight discharge
of
harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
incorporated in the system.
the
front
passenger's
seat
may
be
fitted
with
a
presence
detector
,
in
which
case you should not place anything
heavy on this seat as this could trigger
the
alert.

cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise,
you risk seriously damaging
your
engine.
When
the engine is warm, the
temperature
of the coolant is controlled
by
the engine fan.
As
this fan can
operate
with the ignition key removed
and
because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying
out any work.
Slacken
the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk
of scalding. When the pressure
has
dropped, remove the cap and top
up
the level with coolant.
If
fluid has to be added frequently,
this
indicates a fault which must be
checked
by a CITROËN dealer as
soon
as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check
the level which must be between
the
MIN and MAX marks. In
order to regenerate the filter, you are advised to drive at a speed higher
than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when
traffic
conditions permit (until the
message
disappears and the service
warning
lamp goes off).
d
uring regeneration of the particle
emission
filter, the noise of a relay
operating
may be heard under the
dashboard.
If
the message is still displayed and
if
the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
topping up
The
level
must
be
between
the
MIN
and
MAX
marks
on
the
expansion
bottle.
If
more
than
1
litre
of
fluid
is
required
to
top
up
the
level,
have
the
system
checked
by
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your safety , we would advise that you use
products
of the CITROËN range.
For
optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing,
this fluid must not be topped
up
or replaced with plain water.
Capacity
of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately
3 litres.
If
your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is
6 litres.
diesel additive level
( d iesel with particle
emission filter)
topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
without delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake
fluid is harmful to health and
very
corrosive.
Do
not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITR
o Ë n dealer (France) or
an
authorised waste disposal site.
The
minimum
level
of
this
additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning
lamp,
accompanied
by
an
audible
signal
and
a
message
in
the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation
of
the
particle
emission
filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving
conditions:
low
speed,
long
traffic
jams,
...).

Bleeding water from the diesel
filter Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Only use products recommended by CITRo Ë n or products
of
equivalent quality and
specification.
In
order to optimise the operation
of
units as important as the braking
system,
CITROËN selects and offers
specific
products.
In
order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to
clean the engine compartment is
strictly
prohibited.
After
washing the vehicle dampness,
or
in
winter, ice may form on the brake
discs
and pads: braking efficiency may
be
reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If
this
warning
lamp
comes
on,
bleed
the
filter.
Otherwise
bleed
regularly
each
time
the
engine
oil
is
changed.
H
d
i engines use advanced
technology.
All
work
requires
special training, which is assured
by
a
CITROËN
dealer.
Depending
on
country
of
sale.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw
located
on
the
filter.
o
perate until all of the water no longer
flows
in
the
transparent
pipe,
then
tighten
the
bleed
screw.

FILLInG WItH FuEL
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off.
-
Open
the fuel filler flap.
-
Insert
the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-
Remove
the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap.
When
filling with fuel, a
mechanical
system prevents
opening
of the left-hand side door.
When
the fuel filler flap is open, ensure
that
no one tries to slide this door.
Once
the flap has been closed, the
sliding
side door may jam, push the
door
to close it then open it.
When
the
minimum
fuel
tank
level is reached, this warning
lamp
comes
on.
You then have
approximately 8 litres of
fuel
remaining.
Fill
up
without
delay
to
avoid
running
out
of
fuel.
Never
risk
driving
until
you
run
out
of
fuel
as
this
may
damage
the
emissions
control
and
injection
systems. A
label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds
you of the type of fuel to be
used.
Y
ou must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for
it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When
the fuel filler cap is opened,
there
may be a slight air suction noise.
This
vacuum is entirely normal and is
due
to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When
filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
This
could
cause malfunctions.
The
capacity
of
the
fuel tank is
approximately
60
litres.
-
After
filling
the
fuel tank, lock the
cap
and
close
the flap.
