HANDBRAKE
Illumination of this warning
light and of the STOP warn-
ing light, accompanied by
an audible signal (while the
vehicle is moving), indicates that the
handbrake is still applied or has not
been released fully.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP and ABS warning
lights, it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the electronic
brake force distribution, which can
cause a loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a CITROËN dealer.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by a
buzzer, it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking. Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e
p r e s s u r e .
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.

insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1 , turn
it to the "OFF" position, then
remove the key keeping the slot
in this position. The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is lit
throughout the period of dis-
arming.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON" po-
sition to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.

a message on the display.
With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this warning
light indicates that the passenger air
bag is disarmed (switch in the "OFF"
position).
If the two air bag warning
lights are lit continuously, do
not install a rear-facing child
seat. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.

the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
s u r e s .
Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance.
Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.
Side wind: T a k e i n t o a c c o u n t t h e
increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope

As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
