driving Operating fault
If there is a fault, a message is displayed
accompanied by an audible signal and
illumination of the SERVICE
warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Exceeding the programmed
speed
In the event of a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration, the
speed limiter (which does not act
on the brakes) may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Use of a floor mat other than that
recommended by CITROËN may affect
the normal operation of the accelerator
pedal and hamper the operation of the
speed limiter.
Floor mats approved by CITROËN
are fitted with a 3rd fixing located in
the pedal area to avoid any risk of
inter ference with the pedals.
The speed will also flash if the speed limiter is
not able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed setting (e.g. on a steep
descent or under excessive acceleration).
To reactivate the speed limiter, release the
accelerator to slow to a speed lower than the
programmed speed. F
Press button 5 .
F Or select the speed limiter function.
F Or stop the engine.

You can adjust the memorised speed,
displayed in zone A , by pressing:
- b utton 1 to increase the speed.
- b utton 2 to reduce the speed.
Successive presses will modify the cruise
speed in steps of 1 mph (km/h) and a
continuous press in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
You can then release the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle will automatically keep to the speed
chosen.
The vehicle speed may vary slightly from that
memorised.
If during cruise control the system cannot keep
to the cruise speed (e.g. on a steep descent),
then the speed flashes. If necessary, brake to
curb your speed.

Braking assistance systems
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 sur faces.
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
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
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 in the
instrument panel screen, it indicates a fault with
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 CITR oËn dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 efficiency.
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-
anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
When braking in an emergency,
press very firmly without releasing
the pressure.

Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
Activation
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Your vehicle has a system to improve traction
on snow: intelligent traction control
.
This system detects situations of low adhesion
that might make moving off and progress
difficult on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations the intelligent traction
control system regulates the amount of wheel
slip to optimise the traction and trajectory
control of your vehicle.
For vehicles with Hydractive III + suspension,
manual adjustment of ground clearance to
the intermediate position improves further the
ability to make progress in deep snow (see the
relevant paragraph).
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces with low
adhesion.

Reactivation
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp and
the lamp in the deactivation button,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicate a fault with
the system.
Deactivation
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
F Press this button.
The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act
on the operation of the engine and on the
brakes in the event of a involuntary change of
trajectory.
F
Press this button again.
The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
The systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually:
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the d
SC and a SR, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.

Removing a wheel
F Park the vehicle on stable, firm ground that
is not slippery. apply the parking brake.
F If your vehicle is equipped with
"Hydractive III+" suspension, with the
engine running at idle, adjust the ground
clearance to its maximum height.
F Switch off the ignition and engage first gear
(position P for an automatic gearbox).
F If your vehicle is fitted with "Hydractive III+"
suspension, position the chock, whichever
direction the gradient may be in, in front of
the front wheel diametrically opposite to
the one to be replaced.
List of operations
F Remove the protector from each bolt using
tool 3 .
F Fit the security bolt socket to the
wheelbrace to slacken the security bolt
(depending on equipment).
F Slacken the other bolts using just the
wheelbrace 1 .
Before positioning the jack:
F
Always adjust the vehicle’s ground
clearance to the "maximum height"
position and retain this adjustment
for as long as the jack is under the
vehicle (do not use the hydraulic
adjustments),
F Ensure that any passengers have
left the vehicle and are in a safe
place.
Never go underneath the vehicle if it is
supported only by the jack.
The jack and all of the tools are specific
to your vehicle. Do not use them for any
other purposes.
Have the original wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
Advice on installation
F
If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Chain specification
225/60 V16 Maximum link size:
9 mm
225/55 W17
245/45 W18 These tyres cannot
be fitted with chains
245/40 Y19
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
