HILL START ASSIST
This system (also called HHC - Hill
Holder
 Control),  linked  to  the  dynamic Â
stability
 control  system,  makes  hill Â
starts easier and is activated in the
following
 conditions:
-
the vehicle must be stationary
,
engine
 running,  foot  on  the  brake,
-
the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,
-
uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-
downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
The Hill Start
Assist system is a driving
aid.
 It  is  not  an  automatic  vehicle Â
parking
 function  or  an  automatic Â
parking
 brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed, from the time you release
the brake  pedal,  without  using  the Â
parking
 brake,  you  have  approximately Â
2
seconds to move off before the
vehicle
 starts  to  roll  back.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually
 releasing  the  braking Â
pressure.
 During  this  phase,  the Â
characteristic noise of mechanical
release
 of  the  brakes  may  be  heard, Â
indicating the imminent movement of
the
 vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following  situations:
-
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
Â
when
 the  parking  brake  is  applied,
-
when the engine is switched of
f,
-
Â
when
 the  engine  stalls.
If a malfunction of the
system occurs, this
warning lamp comes on
accompanied by an audible
signal
 and  confirmed  by Â
a
 message  in  the  screen.  Have  the Â
system
 checked  by  a  CITROËN  dealer Â
or
 a  qualified  workshop.

Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
 your  vehicle.
Check
 that  the  parking  brake  is  applied Â
firmly
 before  leaving  the  vehicle.Pull
 on  the  parking  brake  lever,  only
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking
 brake  when  the  vehicle  is Â
moving,
 apply  the  brake  by  pulling Â
gently
 to  avoid  locking  the  rear  wheels Â
(risk
 of  skidding).
Press this button, the direction
indicators
Â
flash.
They

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 Â
poor
 or  slippery  surfaces.
The
Â
ABS
 prevents  locking  of  the Â
wheels, the EBFD 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 Â
and ST
OP warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
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
emergency
 braking  assistance  system: Â
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 Â
reduce
 the  braking  distance.
On 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
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
to
 avoid  an  obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt
 by  slight  vibration  of  the  brake Â
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 CITROËN
dealer
 or  a  qualified  workshop.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement the  ABS.
The
ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on
 acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
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
on
 acceleration.
Use the DSC 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 DSC
system automatically acts on the
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
ASR 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
should
 not  incite  the  driver  to  take  risks Â
or
 to  drive  at  high  speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking
 components,  the  electronic Â
components
 and  the  fitting  and  repair Â
procedures
 are  observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked
 by  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
qualified
 workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the ASR or
DSC
 is  triggered.
They engage again:
-
automatically above 30 mph
(50
Â
km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the LED come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
-
Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-
Â
The
Â
LED  comes  on:  the Â
ASR
 and Â
DSC systems no longer come into
play
. -
manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending
 on  model).Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 workshop  to  have  the  system Â
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the
 tyres  are  under-inflated.  Check  the Â
pressure
 of  each  tyre.
