Deadlocking renders the exterior and
interior door controls inoperative.
It also deactivates the manual

BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems
which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emer-
gency situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distri- bution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assis- tance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular
on poor or slippery surfaces.
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. Operating fault
When braking in an emergency,
press very ﬁ rmly without releasing
the pressure. If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multi-function display,
it indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
If this warning light comes on,
together with the STOP and

ABS warning lights, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display, 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.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
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 efﬁ ciency.
When braking in an emergency,
press ﬁ rmly without releasing the
pressure.

Deactivation
This warning light comes
on on the instrument panel
when the ignition is on and
until the air bag is re-armed.
To guarantee the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passenger
air bag is disarmed when you install
a "rearwards-facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
air bag were triggered. Reactivation
When you remove the child seat,
turn switch
1 to the "ON" position to
re-arm the air bag and so guarantee
the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.
Operating fault
Only the front passenger's air bag
can be disarmed:

 with the ignition off , insert the
key in the passenger air bag dis-
arming switch 1 ,

 turn it to the "OFF" position,

 then, remove the key keeping
the switch in this position.
If this warning light comes on on
the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible warning
and a message on the multi-
function display, contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system checked. The
air bags may no longer be triggered in
the event of a serious impact.
If this warning light ﬂ ashes,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
If both air bag warning lights come
on continuously, do not install a
"rearwards-facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
