When the vehicle automatically locks itself
again (as happens if a door or boot is not
opened within 30 seconds of unlocking),
the monitoring system is automatically
reactivated.
Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and flashing of the direction indicators for
30 seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times
consecutively.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control or the
K

Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
integrated with the rain sensor and located
at the top centre of the windscreen behind
the rear view mirror; the associated
functions would no longer be controlled.

Automatic windscreen
wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically
once rain is detected (sensor behind the
rear view mirror), adapting their speed to the
intensity of the rain without any action on the
part of the driver.
Switching on
Give a short downwards push to the
control.
A wiping cycle confirms that the
instruction has been accepted.
This lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and a message is
displayed.

sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in
intermittent mode.
Have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain sensor, integrated with
the sunshine sensor and located at the top
centre of the windscreen, behind the rear
view mirror.

General safety
recommendations
Labels are attached in different places on
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
as well as identification information for
your vehicle. Do not remove them: they
are an integral part of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required,
all of which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.We draw your attention to the following
points:
-
T
he fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by
CITROËN may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN
dealer for information on the range of
recommended accessories.
-
A
s a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for the
vehicle's electronic systems, is
reser ved strictly for CITROËN dealers
or qualified workshops, equipped
with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's
electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents).
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not
followed.
-
A
ny modification or adaptation not
intended or authorised by CITROËN
or carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined by
the manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the legal and contractual
warranties. Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a CITROËN
dealer for the specification of transmitters
which can be fitted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit,
mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control integrating the
following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em
ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-
w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d
ynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and
contributes towards improved control on corners, in
particular on poor or slippery road sur faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system (EBFD)
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to 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 efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
If you benefit from the Citroën Connect
Box offer with the SOS and assistance
pack included, there are additional
ser vices available to you in your personal
space, via the website for your country.
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.
If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP
and
ABS warning lamps, an audible
signal and a message, this indicates
that the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) is faulty.
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.
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 vibration of the brake
pedal.
If you need to brake in an emergency,
press the brake pedal ver y firmly and
keep the pressure applied.

Do not confuse the child lock control,
which is red, with the back-up locking
control, which is black.
Electric child lock
Activation/Deactivation
Any other state of the indicator lamp
indicates a fault with the electric child lock.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
This system is independent and in no
circumstances does it take the place of
the central locking control.
Check the status of the child locks each
time you switch on the ignition.
Always remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.

Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of
alert can be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.Level 1 (orange) : visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front. Level 2 (red) : visual and audible
alert, warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment. Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the first
level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important:
alert level 1 is never displayed
when the " Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be alerted of the presence of a moving
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or a
pedestrian present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified via the
vehicle configuration menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid
a collision, this system will supplement the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision with your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
