The
 driver  must  ensure  that  the Â
passengers use the electric windows
correctly
.
Be aware of children when operating
the
 windows.
Following
 several  consecutive  closing/
opening operations of the electric
window
 control,  a  protection  system Â
is triggered which only allows closing
of
 the  window. Â
After
 closing,  wait Â
approximately
 40  minutes.  Once  this Â
time
 has  elapsed,  the  control  becomes Â

The audible (front and rear) and visual
(rear) parking  sensor  system  consists Â
of
 proximity  sensors,  installed  in  the Â
rear
 bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which
enters
 its  field  of  operation:  person, Â
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle
during
 the  manoeuvre.
Certain
 objects  detected  at  the Â
beginning
 of  the  manoeuvre  will  no Â
longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre
 due  to  the  blind  spots Â
between
 and  below  the  sensors.
Examples:

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS / EBFD)
The ABS  and  EBFD  (electronic  brake  force
 distribution)  systems  improve  the Â
stability
 and  manoeuvrability  of  your Â
vehicle
 on  braking,  in  particular  on Â
poor
 or  slippery  surfaces.
The
Â
ABS
 prevents  locking  of  the Â
wheels, the EBF
d provides control of
the
 braking  pressure  wheel  by  wheel.If
 this  warning  lamp  comes  on,
 accompanied  by  an Â
audible
 signal  and  a  message Â
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction
 of  the Â
ABS
 which Â
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle
 on  braking.
If
 this  warning  lamp  comes Â
on,
 together  with  the  brake Â
and
 STOP
Â
warning  lamps, Â
accompanied
 by  an  audible Â
signal
 and  a  message  in  the Â
screen,
 it  indicates  a  malfunction  of Â
the
 electronic  brake  force  distribution Â
which could result in a loss of control of
the
 vehicle  on  braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSIST
ANCE (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum  braking  pressure  to  be Â
reached
 more  quickly,  press  the  pedal Â
firmly
 without  releasing  it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake
 pedal  is  pressed  down.
This
 alters  the  resistance  of  the  brake Â
pedal
 under  your  foot.
To
 maintain  operation  of  the Â
emergency
 braking  assistance  system: Â
keep
 your  foot  on  the  brake  pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation  automatically  when Â
there
 is  a  risk  of  wheel  lock.  It  does  not Â
reduce
 the  braking  distance.
o
n very slippery surfaces (ice,
oil, etc...)
 the Â
ABS
 may  increase  the Â
braking
 distance.  When  braking  in Â
an
 emergency,  do  not  hesitate  to Â
press
 the  brake  pedal  firmly,  without Â
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to
 continue  to  manoeuvre  the  vehicle Â
to
 avoid  an  obstacle.
Normal
 operation  of  the Â
ABS
 may  be Â
felt
 by  slight  vibration  of  the  brake Â
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims),
 ensure  that  these  are  listed  by Â
CITROËN
 for  the  vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer
 or  a  qualified  workshop.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement the  ABS.
The
Â
ASR
 system  is  very  useful  for Â
maintaining
 optimum  drive  and Â
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on
 acceleration.
The
 system  optimises  drive  to  prevent Â
the
 wheels  skidding,  by  acting  on  the Â
brakes
 of  the  drive  wheels  and  on  the Â
engine.
 It  also  allows  the  directional Â
stability
 of  the  vehicle  to  be  improved Â
on
 acceleration.
Use the
d SC to hold your course
without
 attempting  to  countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory
 followed  by  the  vehicle  and Â
that required by the driver
, the d SC
system
 automatically  acts  on  the Â
engine
 and  the  brake  of  one  or  more Â
wheels,
 in  order  to  put  the  vehicle  back Â
on
 course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting  the  vehicle  when  stuck  in  mud Â
or
 snow,  or  on  loose  ground...),  it  could Â
prove useful to deactivate the a
SR and
DSC
 systems  to  make  the  wheels  spin Â
and
 regain  grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC  systems  offer  increased  safety
 during  normal  driving,  but Â
should
 not  incite  the  driver  to  take  risks Â
or
 to  drive  at  high  speed.
The
 operation  of  these  systems  is Â
ensured
 if  the  recommendations Â
of
 the  manufacturer  regarding Â
the
 wheels  (tyres  and  rims),  the Â
braking
 components,  the  electronic Â
components
 and  the  fitting  and  repair Â
procedures
 are  observed.
After
 an  impact,  have  these  systems Â
checked
 by  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
qualified
 workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the a SR or
DSC
 is  triggered.
They engage again:
-
Â
automatically
 above  30  mph Â
(50
Â
km/h), When
 a  malfunction  of  the  systems
 occurs,  the  warning Â
lamp
 and  the  LED  come  on, Â
accompanied
 by  an  audible Â
signal
 and  a  message  in  the Â
screen.
-
Press the button or turn
the dial to the
d SC o FF
position (depending on
model).
-
Â
The
Â
LED  comes  on:  the Â
ASR
 and Â

 by  pressing  the Â
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending
 on  model).Contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
 workshop  to  have  the  system Â
checked.
The
 warning  lamp  may  also  come  on  if Â
the
 tyres  are  under-inflated.  Check  the Â
pressure
 of  each  tyre.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive
 on  tarmac  roads  but  it  allows  you Â
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally
.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit
 off-road  activities  such  as:
-
crossing and driving on ground
which
 could  damage  the  underbody Â
or
 tear  off  components  (fuel  pipe, Â
fuel
 cooler,  ...),  particularly  by Â
obstacles or stones,
-
driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-
Â
crossing
 a  stream.
On
Â
snow,
Â
mud
Â
or
Â
sand,
Â
traction
Â
control
 is
Â
obtained
Â
by
Â
a
Â
compromise
Â
between
Â
safety
, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It
Â
adapts
Â
to
Â
allows
Â
most
Â
conditions
Â
of
Â
poor
Â
grip
Â
to
Â
be
Â
accommodated.
The
Â
accelerator
Â
pedal
Â
must
Â
be
Â
pressed
Â
enough for there to be adequate
engine
Â
power
Â
to
Â
manage
Â
the
Â
various
Â
parameters
Â
in
Â
the

different modes are available:
Normal (ESC)
ESC OFFSnow
This mode allows the vehicle to adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front
wheels,
 on  moving  off.
When
Â
moving,  the  system  optimises Â
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
Off road
(mud, wet grass, ...)
 When moving off, this mode allows  considerable Â
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing
 of  the  mud  and Â
regain
 "grip".
At
Â
the
Â
same  time,  the  wheel  with  the Â
most
Â
grip
 is  controlled  in  such  a  way  as Â
to
Â
transmit  as  much  torque  as  possible.
When
Â
moving,  the  system  optimises Â
wheelspin
 to  meet  the  driver's Â
requirements
 as  fully  as  possible.
Sand
 This mode allows a little wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at  the  same  time  to Â
allow
 the  vehicle  to  move Â
forward
 and  reduces  the  risk Â
of
 getting  stuck  in  the  sand.
Do
Â
not
Â
use  the  other  modes  on  sand Â
as
Â
the
Â
vehicle  may  become  stuck.
This
Â
mode
Â
is
Â
calibrated
Â
for
Â
a
 low
Â
level
Â
of
Â
skidding,
Â
based
Â
on dif
ferent conditions of grip
encountered
Â
on
