SITTING COMFORTABLY

21
Limit the causes of excessconsumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refi t your summer tyres.

Observe the recommendations on maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.



When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilome-
tres) that you will see the fuel consumption
settle down to a consistent average.

The lighting time varies accord-
ing to the circumstances:


- when the ignition is off, ap-
proximately ten minutes,

- in energy economy mode, ap-
proximately thirty seconds,

- when the engine is running,
no limit. This comes on automatically when the
boot is opened and switches off auto-
matically when the boot is closed.
Torch
This is a removable lamp, fi tted in the

cation starting with the rear.
If you have forgotten to switch off
the torch, this switches it off auto-
matically.
It the torch is not engaged correctly, it
may not charge and may not come on
when the boot is opened.


Operation
This torch operates with NiMH type re-
chargeable batteries.
It has a battery life of approximately
45 minutes and charges while you are
driving.
Observe the polarities when fi t-
ting the batteries.
Never replace the rechargeable
batteries with single-use batteries.

SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems
which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emer-
gency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),

- emergency braking assistance (EBA).


Anti-lock braking systemand electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without relea-
sing the pressure.
When replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they con-
form to the manufacturer's re-
commendations.


Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunc-
tion of the anti-lock braking system
which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP
and
ABS
warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, ena-
bles you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
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.

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 effi ciency.
In either case, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.

EMERGENCY OR
ASSISTANCE CALL
This system allows you to make an
emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated
CITROËN service.
For more information on the use of this
function, refer to the "Audio and tele-
matics" section.
