Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum braking in complete
s
afety in emergency situations:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-
e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
e
mergency braking assistance (EBA).
Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
i
n particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of
w
heel lock.
Normal
operation of the ABS may make itself
f
elt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
Operating fault
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
q
uickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
When
braking in an emergency, press
f
irmly without releasing the pressure.
When
braking
in
an
emergency,
press
v
ery
firmly
without
releasing
the
p
ressure. When
replacing
wheels
(tyres
and
r

ensure
that
they
conform
to
the
ma
nufacturer's
r
ecommendations.
If
this
warning
lamp
comes

a
malfunction
of
the
anti-lock
braking
s
ystem
which
could
result
in
loss
of
control
of
t
he
vehicle
when
braking.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding o
f the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
d
riving wheels and on the engine.
The
electronic stability programme acts on the
b
rake of one or more wheels and on the engine
t
o keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by
t
he driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This
is indicated by flashing of this
w
arning lamp in the instrument panel. The
ASR /ESP systems offer
e
xceptional safety in normal driving, but
t
his should not encourage the driver to
t
ake extra risks or drive at high speed.
The
correct functioning of these
s
ystems depends on observation of
t
he
ma
nufacturer's
r
ecommendations
r
egarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
t
he braking components, the electronic
c
omponents and the assembly
a
nd repair procedures used by the
C
ITROËN dealer network.
After
an impact, have these systems
c
hecked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Operating fault
Illumination of the warning lamp, accompanid by a message in the
s
creen indicates a malfunction of

m
anually.
T
he lamp in the button goes off.
The
symbol going off in the instrument panel
i
ndicates the reactivation of the ASR and
ES
P systems.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
g
round, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
t
he ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels
c
an move freely and regain grip.
Trajectory control systems

Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
i
nto contact with the flap. The system remains
c
losed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of e ngine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located
in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
It
remains possible to use a fuel can to
f
ill the tank.
In
order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
d
o not place the nozzle of the fuel can
i
n direct contact with the flap of the
m
isfuel prevention device and pour
s
l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the
p
resence of the misfuel prevention
d
evice may make refuelling impossible.
Before
travelling abroad, we
r
ecommend that you check with the
C
ITROËN dealer network, whether your
v
ehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
t
he country in which you want to travel.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t
the
engine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that c
uts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
