(ESP) provides stability during dynamic
emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed on the
instrument panel display:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the lighting
of this warning lamp, then
braking stability is not guar-
anteed. In this event, stability must
be assured by the driver by repeat-
ing alternate "pull release" actions on
control A .

HILL START ASSIST
System which keeps your vehicle
i m m o b i l i s e d t e m p o r a r i l y ( a p p r o x i -
mately 2 seconds) when starting on
a gradient, the time it takes to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot
be deactivated. Operation
On an ascending slope, with the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is
held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal:
- p r o v i d e d y o u a r e i n fi r s t g e a r o r n e u t r a l o n a m a n u a l g e a r b o x ,
- provided you are in D or M on an
a u t o m a t i c g e a r b o x .
On a descending slope, with the
vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.

while it is being held in the
hill start assist phase.
I f y o u n e e d t o e x i t t h e v e h i c l e w i t h t h e

key until the engine starts (no
more than ten seconds).
In temperatures lower than 0 °C,
declutch whilst turning the starter
to facilitate starting.
Engaging reverse gear
Push the gear lever to the right
then rearwards.
Only engage reverse gear when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine
at idle.
6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
Engaging reverse gear
Raise the ring A under the knob
and push the gear lever to the
left then forwards.
Only engage reverse gear when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine
at idle.
As a safety precaution and to facili-
tate starting of the engine:
- always select neutral,
- press the clutch pedal.

automatic operation, enhanced by
the sport and snow programmes, or
manual gear changing.
Therefore, you have a choice of four
driving modes:
- automatic operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
g e a r b o x ,
- the SPORT programme for a
more dynamic driving style,
- the SNOW programme to improve
driving when the grip is poor,
- manual operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
t a r y c r o s s i n g o f l o n g i t u d i n a l t r a f fi c
lane markings on the ground (solid
or broken line).
S e n s o r s , fi t t e d b e l o w t h e f r o n t
bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-
cle drifts over a lane marking (speed
higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads. Activation
Press button A , the indicator
lamp comes on.
Deactivation
Press button A again, the indicator
lamp switches off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of
the driver’s seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed
on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
a p p r o x i m a t e l y 2 0 s e c o n d s a f t e r t h e
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a
direction marking (e.g. arrow) or
n o n - s t a n d a r d m a r k i n g ( e . g . g r a f fi t i )
is crossed. Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
screen.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver. The detection may be impeded:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.
