Lighting control
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Travelling abroad
The design of the dipped beam headlamps
allows, without modification, driving in a
country that drives on the other side of
the road than the country in which your
vehicle was sold.

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.

Malfunction
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on, you
must contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
Malfunction
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on, you
must contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact. In the event of a minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
System that contributes towards improving the
protection of the driver and front passenger in
the event of a serious side impact, in order to
limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the
hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side. They are deployed unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B
, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag contributes towards the
protection of the front occupant of the vehicle,
between the lower thorax and the head.

Deactivating the
passenger's front airbag
Never install a "rear ward facing" child
restraint system on a seat protected by
an activated front airbag. This can cause
death or serious injury to the child.
Passenger airbag OFF
Deactivation
When the ignition is on, this warning
light comes on in the instrument
panel and stays on while the airbag
is deactivated.
To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a "rear ward
facing" child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child risks being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag is
deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the "rear ward facing" child
seat, with the ignition off , turn the switch to
the ON position to reactivate the airbag and so
assure the safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
The warning label, located on each side of the
passenger sun visor repeats this advice. This label is located on the middle door pillar,
passenger side. In line with current legislation, you will find this
warning in all the required languages in the
following tables.
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated.

the engine should be left at idle for four
minutes, to ensure the correct operation
and life of the engine and gearbox.
When the engine is running at idle with the
brakes released, if position R
, D or M is
selected, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsuper vised in the
vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with the

is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Reverse gear
When selecting reverse R with the ignition
on, the rear parking sensors are activated
automatically.
For more information on the Rear parking
sensors, refer to the corresponding section.
Autonomous traction function
(moving without using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
Sport and snow
programmes
These two special programmes supplement the
automatic operation in very specific conditions
of use.
Sport programme "S"
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, indicates a gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the movement of the
selector from position P to another
position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in position N and apply the
parking brake.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox engages first gear
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes are
inactive in manual mode. Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to keep
the vehicle stationary.
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears on the
screen.
F
R
eturn the selector to position P
; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking pace. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
