Lighting is associated
with the display of an-
other warning lamp :
Service If this comes on, it in-
dicates the occurrence
of a problem in one
of the systems which
does not have a specifi c warning
lamp.
In order to identify it, consult the mes-
sage on the multifunction screen.
The warning lamp only comes on
temporarily in the case of the follow-
ing minor faults:
- incorrect closing of the doors, boot, rear screen and bonnet,
- fl at remote control battery,
- incorrect tyre pressure,
- the end of saturation of the parti- cle emission fi lter (Diesel).
In the case of major faults, the warning lamp remains on until the operating
fault is rectifi ed, contact a CITROËN
dealer as soon as possible. Braking
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
one of the braking systems:
- signifi cant drop in the level in the circuit,
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) faulty (simultaneous light-
ing of the ABS warning lamp),
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Application/Release of the
automatic electric parking brake
If this warning lamp comes
on permanently, it is confi rm-
ing that the parking brake is
applied.
If it fl ashes, it is indicating an ap-
plication or release fault. Contact
a CITROËN dealer urgently (see
section "Driving - § Electric parking
brake"). Automatic electric parking brake
fault
This warning lamp comes
on if there is a malfunction in
the automatic electric park-
ing brake.
Deactivation of the automatic
functions of the automatic
electric parking brake
This comes on if the "auto-
matic application" and "auto-
matic release" functions
when you switch off the
engine are deactivated * or
faulty.
Dynamic stability control
(ESP/ASR) The ESP/ASR system is put
into service automatically
when the vehicle is started.
Unless the system has been
deactivated, if this warning lamp
and the indicator lamp on the button
come on continuously, this indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the ESP/
ASR system or in the hill start assist
system.
Engine autodiagnostics system
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
the engine management
system.
If it fl ashes, it indicates the oc-
currence of a fault in the emission
control system.
Central alert
- punctured wheel,
- braking,
- coolant temperature,
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
the anti-lock braking system.
However, this does not
prevent operation of the vehicle's
assisted braking.

Triggering
This is indicated by sounding of the
siren and fl ashing of the direction
indicators for approximately thirty
seconds.
After it has been triggered, the alarm
is again operational.
If the alarm is triggered ten times in
succession, the eleventh time will
result in it becoming inactive. If the indicator lamp on button A
fl ashes rapidly, this indicates that
the alarm was triggered during
your absence. When the ignition is
switched on, this fl ashing stops im-
mediately.
To avoid triggering the alarm when
washing your vehicle, lock it using
the key in the driver's door lock.
Do not activate the alarm before
disconnecting the battery, other-
wise the siren will sound. Failure of the remote control

 Unlock the vehicle using the key
in the driver's door lock.

 Open the door; the alarm is trig-
gered.

 Switch on the ignition; the alarm
stops.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems
which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emer-
gency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
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 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
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure. If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction screen,
it indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system which could re-
sult in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and

ABS warning lamps, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
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.
In either case, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables 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.
When braking in an emergency, press fi rmly without releasing the pressure.
