SAFETY
HORN
Press one of the spokes of the steer-
ing wheel.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Press the button, the direction indica-
tors fl ash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND BRAKING SYSTEMS (EBFD AND CSC * )
When the vehicle is being driv-
en, illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that the parking
brake is still on or has not been
properly released.

When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
parking brake
on
.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake to immobilise
your vehicle.
When changing wheels
(tyres), make sure that these
are approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the button
to release the parking brake.
* The CSC system is linked with the EBFD on vehicles which are not fi tted
with ASR/ESP systems.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
The ABS, in conjunction with the EBFD and CSC * braking systems, increases
the stability and manoeuvrability of
your vehicle on braking and provides
improved control, in particular on poor
or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems pro-
vide full control of the braking pres-
sure wheel by wheel. A distribution
between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the EBFD (Electronic Brake
Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of the CSC * (Cornering Stability
Control).
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking
pressure more quickly and therefore
reduce the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is
felt by a reduction in the resistance
of the pedal and an increase in the
effectiveness of the braking.

gear or reverse for the manual
gearbox, position N for the
"SensoDrive" gearbox. Tools
The following tools are installed in a
carrier, located in the centre of the
spare wheel:

1. Wheelbrace

2. Jack with handle

3. Removable towing eye
Access to the spare wheel and
the jack in the boot

 Remove the carpet then the
plastic cover using the handle. Tyre pressures
These are indicated on the label po-
sitioned on the inner pillar of the left
door, see "Identifi cation markings".

of a turn and remove it.

 Remove the bulb and change it.
2. Direction indicators (PY 21 W amber)


Turn the bulb holder B one quarter
of a turn and remove it.

 Turn the bulb one quarter of a
turn.

 Remove the bulb and change it.
If you encounter any diffi culties, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
In certain climatic conditions
(low temperatures, humidity),

the presence of condensa-
tion on the internal face of
the headlamps is normal ; it disap-
pears a few minutes after the lighting
is switched on.
Never go underneath a vehi-
cle supported only by a jack
(use an axle stand).

4. Fold the jack 2 and detach it.
