Operation of the rear foglamps is inhibited  with  the  tailgate  open.
Opening
 the  tailgate  when  these  lamps Â
a

lamp
 in  the  instrument  panel  to  go  off.
They
 do  not  come  back  on Â
a
utomatically  when  the  tailgate  is Â
c
losed:  they  must  be  switched  on  again Â
u
sing  the  control  stalk. In
 good  or  rainy  weather,  by  both  day  a
nd  night,  the  front  foglamps  and  the Â
r
ear  foglamps  are  prohibited.  In  these Â
s
ituations, the power of their beams
may
 dazzle  other  drivers.  They  should Â
o
nly  be  used  in  fog  or  falling  snow.
In these weather conditions, you should
switch
 on  the  foglamps  and  dipped Â
b
eam headlamps manually, as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do
 not  forget  to  switch  off  the  front  and Â
r

n
ecessary.Switching off the lighting
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the lamps  switch  off  immediately,  except  for  the d

When the driver's door is opened, a temporary  audible  signal  warns  you  that Â
t

Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP and  ABS  warning Â
l
amps,  accompanied  by  an  audible  signal Â
a
nd  a  message,  it  indicates  that  there Â
i
s  a  fault  with  the  electronic  brake  force Â
di
stribution
 (
EBFD).
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. Depending
 on  version,  your  vehicle  has  a  s
ystem  to  help  driving  on  snow:  intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face
 adhesion  that  could  make  it  difficult  to Â
m
ove  off  or  make  progress  on  deep  fresh  snow Â
o
r  compacted  snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide
 the  best  traction  and  trajectory  control Â
f
or  your  vehicle.
The
 use  of  snow  tyres  is  strongly Â
r
ecommended  on  sur faces  offering  low  levels Â
o
f  adhesion.
When
 changing  wheels  (tyres  and Â
r
ims), ensure that these are approved
for
 your  vehicle.
Normal
 operation  of  the  ABS  may  make Â
i
tself  felt  by  slight  vibrations  of  the  brake Â
ped
al.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In
Â
both
Â
cases,  have  the  system  checked  by  a Â
C
ITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop  as Â
s
oon
Â
as
Â
possible.
The
Â
vehicle  retains  conventional  braking.  Drive Â
c
arefully
Â
at  moderate  speed.

For more information on snow chains, contact a

 dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop.
Use
 only  chains  designed  to  be  fitted  the  type Â
o
f
Â
wheel  on  your  vehicle:
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
T he snow chains must be fitted only
to
 the  front  wheels.  They  must  never Â
b
e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Advice on installation
F If  you  have  to  fit  the  chains  during  a  j
ourney,  stop  the  vehicle  on  a  flat  sur face Â
o
n  the  side  of  the  road.
F
Â
A
pply  the  parking  brake  and  position  any Â
w
heel  chocks  to  prevent  movement  of  your Â
v
ehicle.
F
Â
F
it  the  chains  following  the  instructions Â
p
rovided  by  the  manufacturer.
F
Â
M
ove  off  gently  and  drive  for  a  few Â
m
oments,  without  exceeding  30  mph Â
(
50Â km/h).
F
Â
S
top  your  vehicle  and  check  that  the  snow Â
c
hains  are  correctly  tightened.
Take
Â
account
Â
of
Â
the
Â
legislation
Â
in
Â
force
Â
i
n your country on the use of snow
chains
Â
and
Â
the
Â
maximum
Â
running
Â
speed
Â
a
uthorised. Avoid
 driving  with  snow  chains  on  roads Â
t
hat have been cleared of snow, to
avoid
 damaging  your  vehicle's  tyres  and Â
t
he  road  sur face.  If  your  vehicle  is  fitted Â
w
ith  alloy  wheels,  check  that  no  part  of Â
t
he  chain  or  its  fixings  is  in  contact  with Â
t
he  wheel  rim.
It
Â
is
Â
strongly
Â
recommended
Â
that
Â
before
Â
y
ou
Â
leave,
Â
you
Â
practise
Â
fitting
Â
the
Â
snow
Â
c
hains
Â
on
Â
a
Â
level
Â
and
Â
dry
Â
sur face.

Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time  the  vehicle  is  driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately,
 start  the  engine  and  let  it  run:
-
f
or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment
 for  approximately  five  minutes,
-
f
or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment
 for  up  to  approximately Â
t
hirty minutes.
Let
 the  engine  run  for  the  duration  specified  to Â
e
nsure  that  the  battery  charge  is  sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine
 in  order  to  charge  the  battery.
A
 flat  battery  prevents  the  engine  from  starting.
For more information on the 12 V batter y , refer
to
 the  corresponding  section.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain functions  according  to  the  level  of  charge Â
r
emaining  in  the  battery.
When
 the  vehicle  is  being  driven,  the  load Â
r
eduction function temporarily deactivates
certain
 functions,  such  as  the  air  conditioning, Â
t
he  heated  rear  screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically
 as  soon  as  conditions  permit.
Energy economy mode
Switching to economy
mode
A message appears in the instrument panel s
creen  indicating  that  the  vehicle  has  switched Â
t
o economy mode and the active functions are
put
 on  standby.
If
 a  telephone  call  is  being  made  at  this  time,  it Â
w
ill be maintained for around 10 minutes with
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio
system. System  which  manages  the  duration  of  use  of  certain  functions  to  conserve  a  sufficient  level  of Â
c
harge  in  the  battery.
After  the  engine  has  stopped,  you  can  still  use  functions  such  as  the  audio  and  telematics Â
s
ystem, windscreen  wipers,  dipped  beam  headlamps, courtesy  lamps,  etc.  for  a  maximum Â
c
ombined  duration  of  about  forty  minutes.
