2. Spare wheel/Additional storage compartments
Located under the carpet and a
plastic cover, this contains the tools
for wheel changing and towing.
There are two shelf storage options:
- either behind the rear seats,
- o r fl a t i n t h e b o o t .
1. Rear parcel shelf
To remove the shelf:
- u n h o o k t h e s h e l f f r o m i t s fi x i n g

- pull upwards on each side to d e t a c h i t f r o m i t s fi x i n g s ,
- raise then tilt the shelf slightly to remove it. In order to obtain additional
space, the spare wheel can be
removed temporarily (boot tray
available as an accessory).

HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

They can operate with the ignition off.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND BRAKING SYSTEMS (EBFD AND CSC * )
When the vehicle is being driv-
en, illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that the parking
brake is still on or has not been
properly released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
parking brake
on
.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake to immobilise
your vehicle.
When changing wheels
(tyres), make sure that these
are approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the button
to release the parking brake.
* The CSC system is linked with the E B F D o n v e h i c l e s w h i c h a r e n o t fi t t e d
with ASR/ESP systems.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
The ABS, in conjunction with the EBFD and CSC * braking systems, increases
the stability and manoeuvrability of
your vehicle on braking and provides
improved control, in particular on poor
or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems pro-
vide full control of the braking pres-
sure wheel by wheel. A distribution
between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the EBFD (Electronic Brake
Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of the CSC * (Cornering Stability
Control).
In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking
pressure more quickly and therefore
reduce the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is
felt by a reduction in the resistance
of the pedal and an increase in the
effectiveness of the braking.

When this warning lamp
comes on, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS,
which could cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when
braking.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a

When these warn-
ing lamps come on
simultaneously, it
indicates that there
is a fault with the braking system or
that the parking brake has not been
released fully, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking,

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When one of these two sys-
tems is operating, this warning
lamp comes on.
If a fault occurs with the
systems, this warning lamp
comes on. The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety during nor-
mal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
Correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the manu-
facturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the brak-
ing components and the electronic
components as well as the repair pro-
cedures use by a CITROËN dealer or

These systems are linked and sup-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on
the engine to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

AIRBAGS
FRONT AIRBAGS
Front airbag fault
Flashing indicates an airbag fault, contact a CITROËN
d e a l e r o r a q u a l i fi e d w o r k -
shop to have the system
checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of
a serious impact.
Note: the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the air-
b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y s o t h a t t h e y d o
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle. The air bags are not de-
ployed in the case of minor impacts,
rear impacts or in certain roll-over
c o n d i t i o n s . T h e s e a t b e l t i s s u f fi c i e n t
to ensure maximum protection in
these situations. The seriousness of
a collision depends on the nature of
the obstacle and the speed of the ve-
hicle at the moment of the collision.
Airbags only operate when the igni-tion is switched on. When they are
deployed, a noise is heard during
i n fl a t i o n .
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-
limiting seat belts. The electronic
detectors register and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in
the impact detection zones (see dia-
gram): if the deployment threshold is
r e a c h e d , t h e a i r b a g s i n fl a t e i n s t a n t l y

hicle.

board for the front passenger. They are
deployed simultaneously, except in cases
where the passenger's airbag is deacti-
vated, in the event of a serious front im-
pact applied in the impact zone

longitudinal centreline of the vehicle, on
a horizontal plane and from the front of

SAFETY
For the front, lateral and
curtain airbags to be fully
effective, observe the fol-
lowing safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child,
animal, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the airbags or injure
the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is car-
r i e d o u t b y q u a l i fi e d p e r s o n n e l o f t h e
CITROËN dealer network or a quali-
fi e d w o r k s h o p .
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible; deploy-
ment 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.
Curtain airbags

pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain

The deployment of an airbag or air-
bags is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and
a noise due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system. This smoke is not harm-
ful but sensitive individuals may ex-
perience some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is deployed can-
not be ruled out. Indeed, the bag in-
fl a t e s a l m o s t i n s t a n t l y ( a p p r o x i m a t e l y

once. If a second impact occurs
