Fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates a malfunction 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 qualified
workshop. Vehicle moving
Illumination of these two
warning lamps indicates a
malfunction 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 qualified
workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
Operating fault
Vehicle stationary
The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on (ON position). If it does not go off or
does not come on, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.Illumination of this warning lamp
indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system, which could
result in a loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.

Front seat belt not fastened /
unfastened warning lamp
If the driver does not fasten their seat belt
within one minute after switching on the
ignition, the warning lamp flashes accompanied
by an intermittent audible signal.
After about 90 seconds, the warning lamp, the
audible signal and the display stop, and then
return until the driver fastens their seat belt.
If the seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle
is moving , you are warned by the same alerts.
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tightens the
seat belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant,
so improving their protection.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle A
.When the ignition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes on accompanied
by an audible signal for a few seconds
if the driver and/or passenger has not
fastened their seat belt.

Airbags
The airbags have been designed to contribute
towards improving the safety of the occupants
in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement the action of the force-limiting seat
belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors record and
analyse the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the event of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantaneously
and contribute towards protecting the
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibility of
the occupants or their possible exit from
the


vehicle,
-

i
n the event of a minor impact or rear
impact and in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags may not be deployed; the seat
belt alone contributes towards providing
your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same
or a subsequent accident), the airbag
will not be deployed again. The deployment of one or more 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 related to
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or part of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their for ward movement. System which protects the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in the event of a
front impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

console when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child, the
passenger airbag must be deactivated
when you install a rear ward facing child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch A to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and so ensure the safety of your front
passenger in the event of an impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop
without
delay to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact.
In this case, do not install a child seat
or seat an adult on the front passenger
seat.

Charging the main battery
F Pull lever 1, located at the bottom of the
dashboard, driver's side, to open the
access flap for the normal charging socket
(right hand side of the vehicle).
Normal charging
Before connecting, check that the
electrical installation you want to use
meets standards* and is compatible
with a current rating of 8A.
In particular, check that the electric
power point is of suitable quality.
There are sockets available that are
specially designed for charging electric
vehicles.
In all cases, it is recommended that
that you first have an initial check
and then regular checks on your
installation by a qualified electrician.
There are two types of charging you can use:
normal or fast.
Normal charging should be used in preference;
it is done from a domestic mains power point.
Fast charging is done at a compatible fast
charging station.

* For example, in France the standard is NF C 15 -100.
In the event of damage to or
deterioration of the charging cable or
control unit, do not use it. Contact a
CITROËN dealer if in doubt or for a
replacement.
In most European countries, CITROËN
has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can check and
bring your electrical installation up to
standard. For more information, contact
a CITROËN dealer.

As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to start the motor
interrupts the charging procedure. It will
then be necessary to disconnect and
reconnect the charging cable plug to
continue charging.After charging, close the charging
socket cover and flap.
Take care to avoid the ingress of water
or dust to the socket and its cover
or the charging plug (risk of fire or
electrocution).
The charge lamp in the instrument panel going
off and flashing of the green CHARGING
lamp
indicate that charging is complete.

If you wear a pacemaker or other
electrical medical device, you must not
stay inside or near the vehicle during
charging.
It is also important that you take advice
from your doctor on the precautions to
take and observe.While charging, do not do anything
under the bonnet, even with the ignition
off, as the cooling fan may start at any
time (risk of injury).
You must wait for at least one hour
after the end of the charging procedure
before doing anything under the bonnet,
as some areas can be extremely hot
(risk of burns).
After removing the charging plug from
the vehicle's socket, do not leave
the cable connected to the electric
power point (risk of short circuit or
electrocution if it is contacted or
immersed in water).
