automatically when starting the motor, if no 
other lighting is on.
They cannot be deactivated.Automatic illumination of headlamps
With the main lighting control ring in the AUTO  
position, the sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps 
come on automatically, without any action by the 
driver, when a low level of ambient light is detected.
When the light returns to a sufficient level or the 
wipers are switched off, the lighting is switched off 
automatically.
The sensor is located at the base of the windscreen.

Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system 
and electronic brake force 
distributionGroup of supplementary systems which help 
you to obtain optimum braking in complete 
safety in emergency situations:
- 
a
 nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-
 
e
 lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
 
e
 mergency braking assistance (EBA).
When braking in an emergency, press 
very firmly without releasing the 
pressure.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into 
operation automatically when there is a risk of 
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself 
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
Linked systems which improve the stability and 
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, 
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop. Vehicle movingIllumination of these two 
warning lamps indicates a 
malfunction of the electronic 
brake force distribution 
which could result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's 
recommendations.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you 
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more 
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake 
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the 
resistance of the pedal and an increase in 
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press 
firmly without releasing the pressure.
Operating fault
Vehicle stationary
The warning lamp comes on for a few 
seconds when the ignition is switched 
on (ON position). If it does not go off or 
does not come on, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.Illumination of this warning lamp 
indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system, which could 
result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle when braking.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop. Fixed illumination of this warning 
lamp indicates a malfunction of 
the anti-lock braking system which 
could result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle on braking.

Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use 
the seat belts correctly and that they are all 
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, 
always fasten your seat belt, even for short 
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as 
they will not fulfill their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel 
permitting automatic adjustment of the 
length of the strap to your size. The seat belt 
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat 
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be 
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the 
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic 
locking device which comes into operation in 
the event of a collision, emergency braking 
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release 
the device by pulling the strap firmly and 
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is 
less than 12 years old or shorter than one 
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more 
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer 
to the corresponding section.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
 b
e tightened as close to the body as 
possible,
-
 
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth 
movement, checking that it does not 
twist,
-
 
b
e used to restrain only one person,
-
 
n
ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
 
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid 
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's 
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with 
the skills and equipment needed, which a 
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, 
particularly if the straps show signs of 
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by 
CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench 
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned 
and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and 
seriousness of the impact , the 
pretensioning device may be deployed 
before and independently of the airbags. 
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.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp 
comes
  on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts 
system checked, and if necessary replaced, 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a 
vehicle compromises the child's protection 
in the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt 
buckle under the child seat as this could 
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the 
child seat harnesses keeping the slack in 
relation to the child's body to a minimum, 
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat 
belt, check that the seat belt is tightened 
correctly on the child seat and that it 
secures the child seat firmly on the seat 
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is 
adjustable, move it for ward if necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient 
space between the front seat and:
- 
a r
 ear ward facing child seat,
-
 
t
 he feet of a child seated in a for ward 
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat for ward and if 
necessary straighten its backrest.
Advice on child seats
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the 
front passenger seat is specific to each 
c o unt r y.
Refer to the legislation in force in your 
c o unt r y.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when 
a rear ward facing child seat is installed on 
the front seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being 
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were 
deployed. For optimum installation of a for ward facing 
child seat, ensure that the back of the 
child seat is as close as possible to the 
backrest of the vehicle's seat, or in contact 
if possible.
The head restraint must be removed before 
installing a child seat with a backrest on 
the passenger seat. Ensure that the head 
restraint is stowed or attached securely so 
that it is not thrown around the vehicle in 
the event of sharp braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the child 
seat is removed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be 
positioned on the child's shoulder without 
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt 
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a 
booster seat which has a back, fitted with a 
seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
 
o
 ne or more children alone and 
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-
 
a c
 hild or an animal in a vehicle which 
is exposed to the sun, with the windows 
closed,
-
 
t
 he keys within reach of children inside 
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors, 
use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by 
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of 
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
