TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically and continu-
ously checks the pressure of the tyres
while driving.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
The STOP
warning lamp
comes on and/or this warn-
ing lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen iden-
tifying the wheel concerned.
)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of
the steering wheel and the brakes.
)
Repair or change the damaged
wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel or wheels which are
not detected or to indicate a malfunc-
tion in the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired)
or when one or more wheels
without a sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with
a spare wheel, this is not fi tted
with a sensor. All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fi tted with this sys-
tem must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you
install a wheel which is not de-
tected by your vehicle (example:
fi tting of snow tyres), you must
have the system reinitialised by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The tyre under-infl ation detec-
tion system is an aid to driving
which does not replace the need
for the driver to be vigilant or to
drive responsibly. This system does not avoid the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the
"Identifi cation markings" sec-
tion) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the ve-
hicle is maintained and prevent
premature wear of the tyres, par-
ticularly in arduous driving condi-
tions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detec-
tion system may experience
temporary interference due to
electro-magnetic emissions on a
frequency close to that used by
the system.
)
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
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.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces.
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.
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
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.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS (ESP)
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability control
(ESC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as
traction control) optimises traction to pre-
vent skidding of the wheels, by acting on
the brakes of the driving wheels and on
the engine.
The electronic stability control 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.
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving
on snow: intelligent traction control.
This system detects situations of diffi -
cult surface adhesion that could make it
diffi cult to move off or make progress on
deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent trac-
tion control
limits the amount of wheel
slip to provide the best traction and tra-
jectory control for your vehicle.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), if you are un-
able to make progress, it may be ad-
visable to temporarily deactivate these
systems, so that the wheels can spin
freely and allow the vehicle to move.
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, located
near the steering wheel.
If this warning lamp comes on in the in-
strument panel and the indicator lamp
in the button comes on, this indicates
that these systems are deactivated.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on surfaces offer-
ing low levels of adhesion.
It is recommended that the systems be
reactivated as soon as possible.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:
- Automatic Application/Release
Application is automatic when the
engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),
- Manual Application/Release
The parking brake can be applied/
released manually by pulling control
lever A
.
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, the au-
tomatic mode is deactivated.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the
vehicle, the automatic application when
the engine is switched off and the auto-
matic release when you press the ac-
celerator can be deactivated.
It is recommended that you do
not apply the parking brake in
very cold conditions (ice) and
during towing (breakdown, car-
avan...). Deactivate the auto-
matic functions and release the
parking brake manually.
Manual application
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull
control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
-
illumination of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the P
warning
lamp in the control lever A
,
- display of the message
"Handbrake on".
Before leaving the vehicle, en-
sure that parking brake warning
lamp in the instrument panel is
on fi xed, not fl ashing.
When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a message is dis-
played accompanied by an audible sig-
nal if the parking brake has not been
applied, except in the case of an au-
tomatic gearbox with the gear lever in
position P
. Activation/deactivation is done
using the vehicle confi guration
menu; refer to the section cov-
ering the confi guration of your
vehicle's systems.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible sig-
nal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.
Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone...) be-
tween the gear lever and the
electric parking brake control
lever.
