Lighting is associated
with another warning
lamp:
Service If this warning lamp
comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a
problem in one of the
systems which does not have a spe-
c i fi c w a r n i n g l a m p .
In order to identify it, see 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 a t r e m o t e c o n t r o l b a t t e r y ,
- low tyre pressure,
- the saturation of the particle e m i s s i o n fi l t e r ( D i e s e l ) .

If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
one of the braking systems:
- s i g n i fi c a n t d r o p i n t h e fl u i d l e v e l in the circuit,
- electronic brake force distribu- tion (EBFD) faulty (simultane-
ous lighting of the ABS warning
lamp),
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

electric parking brake.
Electric parking brake -
deactivation of automatic
functions This warning lamp comes
on if the "automatic lock-
ing" (upon switching off the
ignition) and the "automatic
unlocking" functions are de-
activated 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 deacti-
vated, if this warning lamp comes on
continuously, accompanied by a mes-
sage on the instrument panel screen,
switching on of the SERVICE warning
lamp and an audible signal, this indi-
cates the occurrence of a fault in the
ESP/ASR 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 sys-
tem.
However, this does not prevent op-
eration of the vehicle's servo assist-
ed braking. If this warning lamp comes on, stop
immediately and contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

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,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g
the pressure. If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the instrument panel
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the anti-lock braking system which
could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the STOP
and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the instru-
ment panel 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 both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions. 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
i n c r e a s e i n b r a k i n g e f fi c i e n c y .
When braking in an emergency,

Connect the compressor’s elec-
tric plug to the vehicle’s 12 V
socket again.
Start the vehicle again and leave
the engine running.

switch A in position "0" and
press button B ), in accordance
with the vehicle’s tyre pressure
label (located on the door aper-
ture on the left-hand side), then
remember to check that the leak
has been plugged correctly (no
further loss of pressure after
several miles [kilometres]).
Remove the compressor, then
store the whole kit.

as possible to have the tyre re-
paired or replaced by a techni-
cian. Take care, the bottle of

The bottle is designed for a sin-

must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the bottle
into the environment, take it to an
authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new
bottle of sealant, available from
CITROËN dealers.

the spare wheel, it is normal to no-
tice that the wheel bolt washers do
not come into contact with the wheel
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the conical tapering of the wheel
bolt’s shaft.
W h e n r e fi t t i n g t h e o r i g i n a l w h e e l ,
ensure that the wheel bolt contact
surfaces are clean and in good con-
dition. Fitting a wheel
Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.
Screw in the bolts but do not fully
tighten them.
Lower the jack and remove it.
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.
R e fi t t h e p r o t e c t o r s o n t h e b o l t s .
Return the ground clearance to
the normal position.
Ensure the tyre pressure is cor-
rect and have the balancing
checked.
Deflation detection
These wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. It is essential to have re-
pairs carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
Anti-theft bolts
Each wheel is equipped with one
anti-theft bolt.
To remove it:
Remove the protector using tool 3 .
Use the anti-theft socket with the
wheelbrace. I f y o u r v e h i c l e i s fi t t e d w i t h

If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer
that the wheel bolts are compatible
with the new wheels.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of
the anti-theft bolt socket. This will
enable you to obtain a replace-
ment anti-theft bolt socket from a
CITROËN dealer .
