This system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking under heavy braking or in conditions of poor road adherence.
It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The operating capacity of all the electrical components that are essential to the ABS system is checked by an electrical monitoring system before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp comes on when you switch on the ignition and should go out after a few seconds.
If the warning lamp does not go out, this means that the ABS has discon-nected as a result of a malfunction. Also, if the warning la mp lights up dur-ing a journey, it means that the ABS system is inactive. In eith er case, the normal braking system remains fully effective, as on a non-ABS vehicle.
However, to restore the safety associated with the correct operat ion of the ABS, the vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by a CITR OËN However, to restore the safety associated with the correct operation of the operation of the

In an emergency, this system enables you to achieve the optimum braking pressure more quickly, thereby reducing the stopping distance. It deploys according to the speed of your action on the brake pedal, reducing the resistance to that action.
To prolong the effect of the emergency braking assistance, simply keep your foot on the brake pedal.

State of wear of brake pads, discs and drums
Brake pad wear varies according to the way you use your vehicle ( e . g . u r b a n d r i v i n g , f r e q u e n t s t o p s , your style of driving or the type of road).
For all information relating to the checking of the state of wear of brake discs and drums, contact a CITROËN dealer.brake discs and drums, brake discs
After washing, apply the brakes gradually to remove water from the brake linings.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The ESP system offers increased driving safety but is not in place to encourage the driver to take addi-tional risks or to drive at excessive speeds.
The functioning of this system is subject to compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations on wheels (tyres and rims), brake parts and electronic components, as well as with CITROËN’s as-parts and electronic components, components,
sembly and repair procedures.
After any collision, have this system checked by a CITROËN dealer.After any collision, have this system , have t
Electronic stability programme (ESP) and traction control (ASR)
These systems are closely connected to the ABS and additional to it. In the event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESP system acts automatically on one or more brakes and also on the engine to bring the vehicle back on trajectory. The ASR system optimises traction and prevents wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels, as well as on the engine. It also improves steering stability during acceleration.
Operation :
When either the ESP or ASR system is in operation, the ESP/ASR warning l a m p fl a s h e s.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, e tc.) it may prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR system to allow the wheels to spin and thus regain traction.
- Press on control A, the ESP/ASR warning lamp and the control light up. The ESP/ASR systems are no longer active.
The ESP/ASR systems will activate again :
- Automatically after the ignition has been switched off.
- Automatically above a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph).
- Manually with a new press on control A.
Operational anomaly
If the systems malfunction, the ESP/ASR warning lamp comes on, ac-companied by a sound signal and a message on the multifunction display. Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.companied by a sound signal and a message on the multifunction by a sound

Using the RDS (radio data system) function on FM
The majority of FM radio stations use the RDS system. The radio in your vehicle has this system,.
The RDS system enables these stations to transmit non-audible data in addition to the broadcasting of their programmes. The data provides access to various functions described in this chapter, such as: display of the station name, inter- m i t t e n t t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n fl a s h e s o r automatic scanning of stations. This enables you to continue listening to your chosen radio station, regard-less of the different frequencies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best pos-sible reception by continuously looking for any other frequencies on which the selected radio sta-tion is broadcast, automatically choosing the frequency offering the best reception (providing the station broadcasts on more than one transmitter or frequency).
Activation/deactivation of the RDS functions
The RDS functions can be accessed via the following two menus :
- Main menu (press button O).
- Audio menu (press button L).
To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on multifunction screen C :
1. Press button O.
2. Select the AUDIO icon using buttons J or M.
3. C o n fi r m y o u r c h o i c e w i t h a press on button L.
4. Select the sub-menu for the FM waveband, via buttons Jor M . C o n fi r m y o u r c h o i c e w i t h a press on button L.
5. Select scanning for RDS sta-tions, via buttons J or M.
6. Validate your choice with a press on button L.
7. Using control L, select/dese-lect to activate/deactivate the function.
8. Validate your choice by select-ing “OK” on the display.
To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on multifunction screen A :
1. Press button O.
2. Select the AUDIO-CD icon via buttons J or M.
3. Select scanning for RDS sta-tions, via buttons J or M. The system tells you the status (ac-tive or inactive) of the function.
4. Modify this status via buttons K or N.
5. Then please wait for the dis-play to disappear.
Note :
If the RDS function is active :
The “RDS” on the display will light up provided the station being re-ceived uses the RDS system with scanning of frequencies.
The “RDS” on the display is barred if the station received uses the RDS system without frequency search.
If your RDS function is deactiva-ted, the “RDS” on the display will be absent in all cases.
The display will indicate the “NAME” for the stations that use the RDS system and the frequency for stations that do not use it.

QUESTIONSANSWERSSOLUTIONS
The rec eption qualit y of the radio station being listened to gradually deteriorates.
The vehicle is too distant from the transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the geographical area you are passing th rough.
Activate the RDS function to allow the system to chec k whether a more power ful transmitter is to be found in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, high buildings, tunnels, underground car parks, etc.) is blocking reception, even in RDS mode.This phenomenon is normal and does not imply anythi ng wrong with the radio.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example after going through a car wash or in an underground car park).Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
When the engine is not running, the radio stops after a few minutes.
When the engine is switched off, the working time fo r the radio depends on the batter y charge. The interruption is nor mal: the radio goes into economy mode, cutting off in order to save the vehicle’s batter y.
You have to star t the engine so as to increase the bat-ter y charge.

In order to protect the audio equipment in excessiv e ambient temperatures, the radio goes into an automatic thermic protection mode which results in a reduction in sound volume or stopping of the CD player.
Switch off the audio system for a few minutes in order to allow the system to cool down.
Why is one not informed in real time of a hold-up on the route even though t h e o p t i o n f o r g u i d a n c e b y “ t r a f fi c i n f o ” is activated ?
When you star t up, the system takes a few minutes to c apture t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n v i a R D S - T M C .
