Front and rear foglamps
They operate with the sidelamps
or dipped beam headlamps on, in
manual or auto mode.In good or rainy weather, by day and night,
using the front foglamps and the rear
foglamp is prohibited. In these situations,
the power of their beams may dazzle other
drivers. They should only be used in fog or
falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to turn off the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp as soon as they are
no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated. Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, set
the ring to "
AUTO", then to the desired
position.
On opening the driver's door a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the
lighting is on.
It will go off automatically after a period of
time that depends on the state of charge
in battery (entering energy-saving mode).

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed. If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, this indicates a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal. In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory.
Deactivating the ASR (depending
on version)
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 system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.It is however recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.

Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by a message as
well as illumination of the knob
(depending on version).
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Reactivating the ASR (depending
on version)
The system is reactivated automatically every
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30
mph (50 km/h).
Below 30
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
