ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS / EBFD)
The ABS   and   EBFD   (electronic   brake  force
  distribution)   systems   improve   the  
stability

  and   manoeuvrability   of   your  
vehicle

  on   braking,   in   particular   on  
poor

  or   slippery   surfaces.
The
 
ABS
  prevents   locking   of   the  
wheels, the EBF

d provides control of
the
  braking   pressure   wheel   by   wheel.If
  this   warning   lamp   comes  on,
  accompanied   by   an  
audible

  signal   and   a   message  
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction

  of   the  
ABS
  which  
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle

  on   braking.
If
  this   warning   lamp   comes  
on,

  together   with   the   brake  
and

  STOP
 
warning   lamps,  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   a   message   in   the  
screen,

  it   indicates   a   malfunction   of  
the

  electronic   brake   force   distribution  
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  
reached

  more   quickly,   press   the   pedal  
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  
pedal

  under   your   foot.
To
  maintain   operation   of   the  
emergency

  braking   assistance   system:  
keep

  your   foot   on   the   brake   pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into  operation   automatically   when  
there

  is   a   risk   of   wheel   lock.   It   does   not  
reduce

  the   braking   distance.
o

n very slippery surfaces (ice,
oil, etc...)
  the  
ABS
  may   increase   the  
braking

  distance.   When   braking   in  
an

  emergency,   do   not   hesitate   to  
press

  the   brake   pedal   firmly,   without  
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to

  continue   to   manoeuvre   the   vehicle  
to

  avoid   an   obstacle.
Normal
  operation   of   the  
ABS
  may   be  
felt

  by   slight   vibration   of   the   brake  
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims),

  ensure   that   these   are   listed   by  
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.

SEAT BELTS
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and
slide  the   assembly   on   the   driver's   seat  
side and on the individual passenger
seat

  side.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into  the   buckle.
Check
  that   the   seat   belt   is   fastened  
correctly

  by   pulling   the   strap.
Seat belt(s) not fastened
warning lamp Unfastening
Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this
  warning   lamp   comes   on  
if a user at the front has not
fastened

  their   seat   belt.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely  before   moving   off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even
  for   short   journeys.
The
  seat   belts   are   fitted   with   an   inertia  
reel

  which   automatically   adjusts   the  
length

  of   the   strap   to   your   size.
d

o not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips,
  safety   pins,   etc.)   which   allow   the  
seat

  belt   straps   to   fit   loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly
  after   use.
After
  folding   or   moving   a   seat   or   a   rear  
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle

  is   ready   to   accommodate   the  
tongue.
d

epending on the nature and
seriousness
  of   any   impact,   the  
pretensioning

  device   may   be   deployed  
before

  and   independently   of   inflation  
of

  the   airbags.   It   instantly   tightens  
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Deployment

  of   the   pretensioners   is  
accompanied

  by   a   slight   discharge  
of

  harmless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due  
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge

  incorporated   in   the   system.
The
 
front
 
passenger's
 
seat
 
may
 
be
 
fitted

 
with

 
a

Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear   a   correctly   adjusted   seat   belt.
d

o not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet,
  object...).  
This
  could   hinder   the  
operation

  of   the   airbags   or   injure   the  
occupants.
a

fter an accident or if the vehicle has
been
  stolen   or   broken   into,   have   the  
airbag

  systems   checked.
All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   is   strictly  
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualified

  personnel   at   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned
  are   observed,   a   risk   of  
injury

  or   of   minor   burns   to   the   head,  
chest

  or   arms   when   an   airbag   is  
deployed

  cannot   be   ruled   out.   In   fact,  
the

  bag   inflates   almost   instantly   (within  
a

  few   milliseconds)   then   deflates   within  
the

  same   time   discharging   the   hot   gas  
via

  openings   provided   for   this   purpose.Lateral airbags
Only
  put   recommended   covers   on  
the

  seats.  
These
  will   not   hinder  
inflation

  of   the   lateral   airbags.   Contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop.
Do

  not   fix   or   attach   anything   to   the   seat  
backs.

 
This
  could   cause   injury   to   the  
chest

  or   arms   when   the   lateral   airbag  
inflates.
d

o not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
d

o not drive holding the steering wheel
by
  its   spokes   or   resting   your   hands   on  
the

  centre   part   of   the   wheel.
d

o not allow passengers to place
their
  feet   on   the   dashboard,   they   risk  
serious

  injury   if   the   airbag   is   deployed.
Smoke
  as   little   as   possible   as  
deployment

  of   the   airbags   can   cause  
burns

  or   the   risk   of   injury   from   a  
cigarette

  or   pipe.
Never
  remove   or   pierce   the   steering  
wheel

  or   hit   it   violently.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This
 
equipment
 
only
 
operates
 
once.
 
If

 
a
 
second
 
impact
 
occurs
 
(during
 
the
 
same

 
or
 
a
 
subsequent
 
accident),
 
the
 
airbag

 
will
 
not
 
operate.
The
 
deployment

 
of

 
an

 
airbag

 
or

 
airbags

 
is

 
accompanied
 
by
 
a
 
slight
 
discharge
 
of

 
smoke
 
and
 
a
 
noise,
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated

 
in
 
the
 
system.
This
 
smoke
 
is
 
not
 
harmful,
 
but
 
sensitive

 
individuals
 
may
 
experience
 
some

 
irritation.
The
 
noise
 
of
 
the
 
detonation
 
may
 
result
 
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. The

 
passenger's
 
front
 
airbag
 
must
 
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise,
  you   risk   seriously   damaging  
your

  engine.
When
  the   engine   is   warm,   the  
temperature

  of   the   coolant   is   controlled  
by

  the   engine   fan.  
As
  this   fan   can  
operate

  with   the   ignition   key   removed  
and

  because   the   cooling   system   is  
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying

  out   any   work.
Slacken
  the   cap   by   1/4   of   a   turn   to  
release the pressure to prevent any
risk

  of   scalding.   When   the   pressure  
has

  dropped,   remove   the   cap   and   top  
up

  the   level   with   coolant.
If
  fluid   has   to   be   added   frequently,  
this

  indicates   a   fault   which   must   be  
checked

  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   as  
soon

  as   possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground  with   the   engine   cold.   Unscrew  
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check

  the   level   which   must   be   between  
the

  MIN   and   MAX   marks. In
  order   to   regenerate   the   filter,   you  are advised to drive at a speed higher
than
  40   mph   (60   km/h)   for   at   least   five  minutes
  as   soon   as   possible,   when  
traffic

  conditions   permit   (until   the  
message

  disappears   and   the   service  
warning

  lamp   goes   off).
d

uring regeneration of the particle
emission
  filter,   the   noise   of   a   relay  
operating

  may   be   heard   under   the  
dashboard.
If

  the   message   is   still   displayed   and  
if

  the   service   warning   lamp   remains  
on, contact a CITR

o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop.
Topping up
The
 
level
 
must
 
be
 
between
 
the
 
MIN
 
and

 
MAX
 
marks
 
on
 
the
 
expansion
 
bottle.

 
If
 
more
 
than
 
1
 
litre
 
of
 
fluid
 
is
 
required to top up the level, have the
system

 
checked
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or

 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products   of   the   CITROËN   range.
For
  optimum   cleaning   and   to   avoid  
freezing,

  this   fluid   must   not   be   topped  
up

  or   replaced   with   plain   water.
Capacity
  of   the   screenwash   reservoir:  
approximately

  3   litres.
If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   headlamp  
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is

  6   litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This   additive   must   be   topped   up   by  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop

  without   delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with   the   skin.
Brake
  fluid   is   harmful   to   health   and  
very

  corrosive.
Do
  not   dispose   of   used   oil,   brake   fluid  
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITR

o Ë n dealer (France) or
an
  authorised   waste   disposal   site.
The
 
minimum
 
level
 
of
 
this
 
additive
 
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning

accompanied
 
by
 
an
 
audible

 
signal
 
and
 
a
 
message
 
in
 
the
 
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation

 
of
 
the

Only use products recommended by CITRo Ë n or products of equivalent
quality
  and   specification.
In
  order   to   optimise   the   operation  
of

  units   as   important   as   the   braking  
system,

  CITROËN   selects   and   offers  
specific

In order to avoid damaging the electrical units, high pressure
washing to clean the engine
compartment
  is   strictly   prohibited.
After
  washing   the   vehicle   dampness,  
or

 
in
  winter,   ice   may   form   on   the   brake
