The defl ation detection system is a driving aid, but which does not absolve the driver from the need to be vigilant and responsible.
This system does not dispense with the requirement to check the t yres on a regular basis (see “Vehicle identifi ca-tion”), to make sure that the vehicle is behaving correctly and to avoid premature tyre wear arising from driving too fast etc.
Do not forget to check the pressure in the spare wheel.
Any repair or replacement of a tyre on a wheel that is equipped with a sensor must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.Any repair or replacement repair or

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
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.
If the Electronic Parking Brake is off, the lighting of this wa rning lamp in conjunction with the STOP warning lamp indicates that the brake fl uid level is low or that the braking distributor is mal-functioning. It is essential to stop the vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible. warning lamp indicates that the brake fl uid level is low o r that the braking distributor is mal- warning lamp indicates that the brake fl uid level is low or that the braking distributor is mal-

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP) AND TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
These systems are closely associated with ABS and additional to it. In the event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESP system acts automatically on one or more wheels and also on the engine to bring the vehicle back on trajectory. The ASR system optimises traction and prevents wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels as well as on the engine. It also improves steering stability during acceleration.
OPERATION
When either the ESP or the ASR system is brought into operation the warning lamp “ESP/ASR” fl ashes.
DEACTIVATION
In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, e tc.) it may prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin and thus regain traction.
Press on button A, the “ESP/ASR” warning lamp, as well as the lamp on the button A, light up. The ESP/ASR systems are no longer active.
The ESP/ASR systems will activate again:Automatically after the ignition has been switched off.
Automatically when you drive at above approx. 50 km/h (approx. 30 mph).Manually with another press on button A.
OPERATIONAL ANOMALY
Should there be a system malfunction, the “ESP/ASR” warning lamp will light up.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.

In addition to the catalytic converter, this fi lter contributes actively to the preserving of air quality, by collecting the polluting particles that have not been burnt off. Black exhaust fumes are thus eliminated.
Simultaneous lighting of the SERVICE and depollution system warning lamps indicates an increased risk of clogging.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
DIESEL ADDITIVE LEVEL
If the additive level is low, it is necessary to top up the additive level.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
CLOGGING OF THE PARTICLE FILTER
Clogging is caused by the particle fi lter starting to be satu rated (owing to exceptionally long periods spent driving in urban conditions : low speeds, traffi c jams, e tc.).
In order to regenerate the fi lter you are advised to drive as so on as possible, when traffi c conditions allow, at a speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) or more for at least 5 mi nutes. If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN In order to regenerate the fi lter you are advised to drive as soon as possible, when traffi c conditions In order to regenerate the fi lter you are advised to drive as soon as possible, when traffi c conditions
