Reactivation of the interior
volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring

Triggering of the alarm


This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and flashing of the direction indicators for
thirty seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times in
succession.



Press the unlocking button on
the remote control or unlock the
vehicle using the Keyless Entry
and Starting system to deactivate
the exterior perimeter monitoring.


Press the locking button on the
remote control or lock the vehicle
using the Keyless Entry and
Starting system to activate all the
monitoring functions.
The indicator lamp in the button
again flashes once per second.
When the vehicle is unlocked using
the remote control or unlocked
using the Keyless Entry and Starting
system, rapid flashing of the indicator
lamp in the button informs you that the alarm
was triggered during your absence. When
the ignition is switched on, this flashing stops
immediately.



Failure of the remote control

To deactivate the monitoring functions:




Unlock the vehicle using the key (integral
with the remote control) in the driver's door
lock.


Open the door; the alarm is triggered.


Switch on the ignition; the alarm stops. The
indicator lamp in the button goes off.




Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm




Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key
(integral with the remote control) in the
driver's door lock.




Operating fault


When the ignition is switched on, fixed
illumination of the indicator lamp in the button
indicates a fault in the system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.


*
According to country.


Automatic activation *


2 minutes after the last door or the boot is
closed, the system is activated automatically.



To avoid triggering the alarm on entering
the vehicle, first press the unlocking button
on the remote control or unlock the vehicle
using the Keyless Entry and Starting
system.

Direction indicators





Lower the lighting control stalk fully when
moving to the left.


Raise the lighting control stalk fully when
moving to the right.

Three fl ashes

Move the stalk briefly upwards or downwards,
without going beyond the point of resistance;
the corresponding direction indicators will flash
3 times.
If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than twenty
seconds, the volume of the audible
signal will increase if the speed is above
40 mph (60 km/h).



Hazard warning lamps


Press the button, the direction indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.













Automatic operation
of hazard warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on
the rate of deceleration, as well as when the ABS
regulation is invoked or in the event of an impact,
the hazard warning lamps come on automatically.
They switch off automatically the first time you
accelerate.



You can also switch them off by pressing
the button.

This function can be used at any speed,
but it is particularly useful for changing
lane on fast roads.

Electronic Stability Programme incorporating
the following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,


- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,

- the dynamic stability control (DSC).






























Electronic stability programme (ESC)


Definitions


Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and provides improved control in corners, in
particular on poor or slippery road sur faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.


Emergency braking assistance

In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to 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.


Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.


Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

183Safety






Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on
snow: intelligent traction control.

This system detects situations of difficult
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control
limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,
mud, ...), when it proves impossible to move off,
it may be useful to temporarily deactivate the
ESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin
freely and so allow movement of the vehicle.

Operation


Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)


In emergency braking, press
ver y firmly without releasing the
pressure.



When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal. When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.

When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP
warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, it indicates
that there is a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD), which could cause
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 or a
qualified workshop.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low levels
of adhesion.

227Practical information




Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or
for towing another vehicle using a removable
towing eye.

Towing your vehicle
Towing another vehicle






Access to the tools

The towing eye is installed in the boot under
the floor.
To gain access to it:



open the boot,


remove the towing eye, located in the tool
box.



On the front bumper, unclip the cover by
pressing at the bottom to disengage the
securing lugs.


Screw the towing eye in fully.


Install the towing bar.


Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the
towed vehicle.


On the rear bumper, unclip the cover by
levering at the left with the point of the
towing eye.


Screw the towing eye in fully.


Install the towing bar.


Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the
towed vehicle.

When towing with all four wheels on the
ground, always use a towing bar.
When towing with only two wheels on
the ground, always use professional
lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off, there
is no longer any braking or steering
assistance.


Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N
with an electronic or
automatic gearbox).
Failure to follow this advice could
result in damage to certain braking
components and the absence of
braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

short-cut menu to enable the system to check
whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the
geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks…) block
reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going

I cannot fi nd some radio
stations in the list of

Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the
title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station. The name of the radio
station changes.
