Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt
etc.) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner sur face of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to
open the vehicle.
Deadlocking
Deadlocking deactivates the exterior
and interior door controls, as well as the
central locking button on the dashboard.
The horn remains operational.
You must therefore never leave anyone
inside the vehicle when it is deadlocked. F

W
ith the electronic key in recognition
zone A , press once with your finger or
thumb on the door handle of one of the front
doors (at the markings) or on the locking
control located on the tailgate (at the right of
the control) to lock the vehicle.
F
W
ithin 5 seconds, press the door handle
again to deadlock the vehicle.
Advice
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is
a
sensitive system; do not operate it while
it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not press the buttons of your remote
control out of range of your vehicle.
It might stop working. It will then be
necessary to reinitialise it again.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with an ignition switch, do
not forget to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering
lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency ser vices
to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a
safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when leaving the
vehicle, even for a
short time.
Purchasing a


second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by
a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle.

-
an
animal approaches the rear bumper,
-
y
ou are washing your vehicle,
-
y
our vehicle is being serviced,
-
y
ou are accessing the spare wheel
(depending on version).
To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone
or deactivate "Hands-Free Tailgate Access".
After installing a towing device, it is
essential to contact a
CITROËN dealer
or a
qualified workshop so that it is taken
into account by the detection system.

If the vehicle automatically locks itself
again (as happens if a
door or the boot
is not opened within 30
seconds of
unlocking), the monitoring system is
automatically reactivated.
Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren and
flashing of the direction indicators for thirty
seconds.
The volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring functions
remain active until the tenth successive time
the alarm is triggered.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control programme
comprising the following systems:
-

A
nti-lock Braking System (ABS) and
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD).
-
E

mergency braking assistance (EBA).
-
A

nti-slip regulation (ASR).
-

Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.

Safety

92
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system optimises traction in order to
avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of
the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle
on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
This system allows control of the vehicle to be
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid
the risk of snaking.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
coupled with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by the
display of a
message and an audible
signal, signals that there is a
fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD). Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion ")
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. Depending on version, your vehicle has
a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor sur face
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine
immobiliser system, whose secret code must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact the CITROËN dealer.
Starting/Switching off the
engine with the key
Key ignition switch
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a


malfunction.
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reser ve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preser ve the remaining
battery charge.
Switching off the engine leads to a
loss of
braking assistance.

Emergency braking
In the event of a fault with the brake pedal or
i n an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken
ill, driver under instruction, etc.), a continuous
pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
Braking takes place while the control lever is
being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
is released.
Driving

125
The ABS and DSC systems ensure stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed in the instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.

again.
Special aspects of automatic
mode
The gearbox selects the gear that offers
optimum per formance, taking account of the
exterior temperature, the profile of the road, the
load on the vehicle and the style of driving.
For maximum acceleration without touching the
selector, push the accelerator to the floor (kick-
down). The gearbox shifts down automatically
or holds the gear selected until the maximum
engine speed is reached.
