ABS system
The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden braking or in conditions of poor road adherence. It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The functioning capability of all the electrical components essential to the ABS is monitored electronically before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch on the ignition: it should go out after a few seconds.
If the monitoring warning lamp does not go out, that means that the ABS has disconnected because there is a fault. Also, the fact that the monitoring warning lamp comes on durin g the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive. In both cases, the normal braking system remains effi cient, exactly a s on a vehicle without ABS. However, in order for the security associated with the correct functioning of the ABS to be restored, the vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by a CITROËN dealer.for the security associated with the correct associated with the
On roads with poor adherence (chippings, snow, ice etc.), it is always imperative to drive with prudence.
System of emergency braking assistance
(For vehicles with the ABS system)
The emergency braking assistance system helps you to attain the requ ired braking pressure more rapidly, thus to reduce the stopping distance. It operates as a function of the speed of action on the brake pedal, decreasing the resistance to this action. To prolong this action of the emerg ency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Emergency braking or sudden deceleration automatically operates th e hazard warning lamps. They will cease to operate automatically, or manually if you press the hazard lamps button on the dashboard.

ISOFIX anchoring points and the ISOFIX fastening system
The lateral rear seats of your vehi-cle are each equipped with regu-lation ISOFIX anchoring points. These consist of 2 rings located between the backrest and the vehi-cle seat, approx. 28 cm apart.
ISOFIX child seats are equipped with 2 latches which are eay to attach to these rings. This fi xing system is intended for children weighing up to 18 kg.
Incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises protec-tion of the child in the event of a col-lision. The ISOFIX system enables you to minimise the risks posed by incorrect fi tting. The ISOFIX fas-tening system gives you a conven-ient, strong and reliable fi tting for a child seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seat that is approved and supplied by the CITROËN network is the approved and supplied by approved KIDDY Isofi x child seat (1).
It can be installed “rear-facing” from birth to 13 kg and “forward-facing” from 9 to 18 kg.
Advice on installing your KIDDY Isofi x child seat:In the “forward facing” position, the vehicle’s corresponding front seat should be adjusted between the furthest forward and the medium fore/aft position, with the backrest upright.
If “rear-facing”, the shell of the child seat should be in contact with the backrest of the vehicle front seat.
Child seats secured by means of the vehicle seat belt
In conformity with Directive 2000/3, the table tells you to what extent each of the seat positions in your vehicle may take a child seat tha t is secured by means of the vehicle seat belt and approved as “Universal” as a f unction of the weight of the child.
