SAFETY
HORN
Press one of the spokes of the steering
wheel.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Press the button, the direction indica-
t o r s fl a s h .
They can operate with the ignition
off.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND EBFD AND CSC * BRAKING SYSTEMS
The ABS, in conjunction with the
EBFD and CSC * braking systems,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability 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).
When the vehicle is being driv-
en, illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that the park-
ing 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
.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake to immobilise
your vehicle.
Note: 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.
* 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 -
ted with ASR/ESP systems.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the but-
ton to release the parking brake.

SAFETY When this warning lamp
comes on, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the
ABS, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
When these warn-
ing lamps come
on simultaneous-
ly, it indicates that
there is a malfunc-
tion of the braking system or that the
parking brake has not been released
fully, which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t
releasing the pressure. TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
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.
Operating check
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems When one of these two
systems is operating, this
warning lamp comes on. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, this warn-
ing 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 man-
ufacturer's recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components as well as the
CITROËN dealer repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Activation of the ESP system is also
accompanied by an audible signal. Contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the systems checked.

ance with the servicing schedule. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent qual-

In order to optimise the
operation of units as important as the
braking system, CITROËN selects
a n d o f f e r s s p e c i fi c p r o d u c t s .
In order to avoid damaging the elec-
trical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing sched-
ule, refer to the pages of the Main-
tenance and Warranty Guide which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a CITROËN dealer.

ularly.
If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
CITROEN dealer. Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is pos-
sible to restart it to drive a
short distance by operating
the priming pump at least
10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must
be reprimed:
- fi l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t fi v e litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the protec-
t i v e c o v e r w h i c h m u s t fi r s t b e u n -
clipped and then removed,
- operate the starter until the en- gine starts.
Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximate-
ly 15 seconds, operate the
priming pump again approxi-
m a t e l y fi f t e e n t i m e s b e f o r e t r y i n g
again.
If the emission control warning lamp
has come on, it will only switch off af-
ter your vehicle has been used sev-
eral times.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the park-
ing brake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
