For diesel vehicles, when 
the engine is cold starting 
does not take place until the 
pre-heater warning lamp has 
gone off.
If one of the starting conditions is not 
met, a reminder message appears in 
the instrument panel screen. In some 
circumstances, it is necessary to 
turn the steering wheel slightly while 
pressing the "
START/STOP " button 
to assist unlocking of the steering; 
a message warns you when this is 
needed.
The presence of the electronic key 
in the defined zone is essential. For 
reasons of safety, do not leave this area 
when the engine is running.

This operation is perfectly normal.
The Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). 
The
 
engine restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.

Group of supplementary systems which help 
you to obtain optimum braking in complete 
safety in emergency situations:
- 
a
 nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-
 
e
 lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD).
Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system 
and electronic brake force 
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and 
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, 
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if the 
vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h). 
It is deactivated when the vehicle speed falls 
below 3 mph (5 km/h).
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
When the vehicle is stationary
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by 
the indication on the instrument panel screen, it 
indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking 
system which could result in a loss of control of 
the vehicle when braking.
The vehicle retains normal braking.
Drive carefully at moderate speed and contact 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as 
soon as possible.
When braking in an emergency, press 
very firmly without releasing the 
pressure. The warning lamp comes on for a few 
seconds when the ignition is switched on 
(ON position). If it does not switch off or 
does not come on, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.

The driver must ensure that passengers use 
the seat belts correctly and that they are all 
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, 
always fasten your seat belt, even for short 
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as 
they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel 
permitting automatic adjustment of the 
length of the strap to your size. The seat belt 
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat 
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be 
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the 
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic 
locking device which comes into operation in 
the event of a collision, emergency braking 
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release 
the device by pulling the strap firmly and 
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is 
less than 12 years old or shorter than one 
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more 
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information, refer to the "Child 
seats" section.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
 b
e tightened as close to the body as 
possible,
-
 
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth 
movement, checking that it does not 
twist,
-
 
b
e used to restrain only one person,
-
 
n
ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
 
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid 
affecting its performance.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and 
seriousness of the impact , the 
pretensioning device may be deployed 
before and independently of the airbags. 
Deployment of the pretensioners is 
accompanied by a slight discharge of 
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge 
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp 
comes
  on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts 
system checked, and if necessary replaced, 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's 
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with 
the skills and equipment needed, which a 
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, 
particularly if the straps show signs of 
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by 
CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench 
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned 
and reeled in correctly.

As soon as possible after a repair using 
the kit, go to a CITROËN dealer or a

the kit. After checking, the technician 
will advise you whether the tyre can be
