MONITORING
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the fol-
lowing warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the part of the driver. Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigat-
ed further by reading the associated message in the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

Cause
Action/Observations
STOP
fi xed, alone or
associated with
another warning
lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message on
the screen.
The illumination of this
warning lamp is related
to a serious fault with the
braking system, the power
steering, the engine oil
pressure or the engine
coolant temperature. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, as the engine
may cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Service
temporarily,
accompanied
by an audible
signal and a
message on the
multifunction
screen. A minor fault has occurred
for which there is no
specifi c warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown
on the screen, such as, for example:
- engine oil level,
- screenwash level,
- remote control battery,
- state of the bulbs,
- saturation of the particle emission fi lter
on Diesel vehicles (see Checks - Particle
Emissions Filter).
For any other faults, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
fi xed, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message on the
multifunction screen.
A major fault has occurred
for which there is no
specifi c warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown
on the screen and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Braking
fi xed, associated
with the STOP
warning lamp. The braking system fl uid
level is too low. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Top up with brake fl uid recommended by
CITROËN.
If the problem persists, have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
+
fi xed, associated
with the STOP and
ABS warning lamp. The electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system
has a fault. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a CITROËN or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Action/Observations
Anti-lock
Braking
System

fi xed. The anti-lock braking
system has a fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.
Dynamic

control
(ESP/ASR)
fl ashing. The ESP/ASR regulation is
active. The system optimises traction and improves the
directional stability of the vehicle.
fi xed. Unless it has been
deactivated (button pressed
and its indicator lamp on) the
ESP/ASR system has a fault. Have it checked by a CITROËN or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Engine

system
fl ashing. The engine management
system has a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
fi xed. The emission control
system has a fault. The warning lamp should go off when the engine
is started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualifi ed workshop without delay.
Low fuel level
fi xed. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately
5 litres of
fuel
in the tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the
ignition is switched on, until a suffi cient addition
of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
(petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel); depending on
version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel).
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.

CHILD SAFETY
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and un-
supervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the
"Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat fi rm-
ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat
and that the head restraint does not
cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking. Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.

SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems
which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emer-
gency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking systemand electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure.
When replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they con-
form to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunc-
tion of the anti-lock braking system
which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP
and
ABS
warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, en-
ables you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
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.
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 effi ciency.
In either case, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.
EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE
CALL
This system allows you to make an
emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated
CITROËN service.
For more information on the use of this
function, refer to the "Audio and tele-
matics" section.
