BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure. The two warning lamps comes on
at the same time and the two warn-
ings are displayed alternately in the
instrument panel screen.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompa-
nied by the indication on the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the anti-lock braking system which could
result in a loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop. If these two warning lamps come on,
linked with the warnings on the instru-
ment panel screen, they indicate a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss
of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces. The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on
(ON position). If it does not switch off or
does not come on, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning lamp comes on
continuously it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-
hicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

The driver must ensure that pas-
sengers use the seat belts correct-
ly and that they are all restrained
securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buck-
les as they will not fulfi l their role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stowed automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an auto-
matic locking device which comes into
operation in the event of a collision,
emergency braking or if the vehicle
rolls over. You can release the device
by pulling fi rmly on the strap and re-
leasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passen-
ger is less than 12 years old or shorter
than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap. In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:
- be tightened as close to the body
as possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, checking that
it does not twist,
- be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modifi ed to
avoid affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety reg-
ulations, for all repairs on your vehicle,
go to a qualifi ed workshop with the
skills and equipment needed, which a
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop, particularly if the straps
show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and serious-
ness of the impact
, the pretensioning
device may be deployed before and in-
dependently of the airbags. 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.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi
ed workshop.
