General safety recommendations
Labels are applied at various
points on your vehicle. They carry
safety warnings as well as vehicle
identification information. Do not
remove them: they form an integral part
of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use
a qualified workshop that has the
technical information, skills and
equipment required, all of which a
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.We draw your attention to the following points:
- The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories not listed by CITROËN may cause
excessive current consumption and faults and failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer for information on the range of recommended
accessories.
-

A
s a safety measure, access to the diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's electronic
systems, is reserved strictly for CITROËN dealers or qualified workshops, equipped
with the special tools required (risk of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic systems
that could cause breakdowns or serious accidents). The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not followed.
-

A
ny modification or adaptation not intended or authorised by Automobiles CITROËN
or carried out without meeting the technical requirements defined by the manufacturer
would lead to the suspension of the legal and contractual warranties.
Installation of accessory radio communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication transmitter, you must contact a CITROËN dealer
for the specification of transmitters which can be fitted (frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specific installation requirements), in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
Depending on the legislation in force in the country, certain safety equipment may be
compulsory: high visibility safety vests, warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs, spare
fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle...

sending of the appropriate emergency
services**. In countries where the service is not
operational, or if the locating service has been
expressly declined, the call is directed straight
to the emergency services (112) without

control unit, and independently of
the deployment of any airbags, an
emergency call is made automatically.

Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distributionGroup of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-

e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-

e
mergency braking assistance (EBA).
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Activation
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.
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.

workshop. Vehicle movingIllumination 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

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

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
Trajectory control systems
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems to regain grip.
F
P
ress this button button, located on
the dashboard (driver's side), until the
corresponding symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem. The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated automatically.
F
P ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESP
systems.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction to limit wheel spin,
by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
This is indicated by flashing of this
symbol in the instrument panel. The ASR /ESP systems should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures used by the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
The display of this message
in the instrument panel
indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP systems
checked.
Excessive wheel spin may cause
damage to the differential of
your

vehicle.
