Stop & Start

This system puts the engine tempo-
rarily into standby during stops in the
traffi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc...).
The engine restarts automatically as
soon as you want to move off.
Stop & Start reduces fuel consump-
tion, exhaust emissions and noise
when stationary.

Lane departure warning system


This driving aid warns you when you
unwittingly cross a lane marking.

Parking sensors (visual and
audible)

This system warns you if an obstacle
is detected in front of or behind the
vehicle.
Tyre under-infl ation detection

This system checks the pressure
of the tyres automatically while
driving.
Xenon dual-function directional
headlamps

This system automatically provides
you with extra visibility on bends.
This lighting is linked with the cor-
nering lighting which maximises the
illuminated area at intersections and
when parking.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. The defl ation detection system is a
driving aid, but which does not ab-
solve the driver from the need to be
vigilant and responsible.
This system does not dispense
with the requirement to check
the tyres on a regular basis (see
"Identifi cation markings") to ensure
optimum vehicle behaviour and to
avoid premature tyre wear under
certain conditions (high load, high
speed).
Do not forget to check the tyre
pressure of the spare wheel .
Any repair or replacement of a tyre
on a wheel that is equipped with
a sensor must be carried out by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The system may suffer from tem-
porary interference caused by
electro-magnetic transmissions on
frequencies close to that use by
the system .




)
If you have fi tted wheels that
are not equipped with tyre defl a-
tion detection (wheels with snow
tyres, etc.), contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

SAFETY
















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
audible signal and a mes-
sage 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, ac-
companied by an audible sig-
nal 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 CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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
increase in braking effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

)
Remove the compressor and un-
clip and store the cartridge in a
sealed bag to avoid staining your
vehicle with traces of fl uid.

)
Drive immediately for approxi-
mately two miles (three kilome-
tres), at reduced speed (between
15 and 35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]),
to plug the puncture.

)
Stop to check the repair and the
pressure.

)
Connect the compressor pipe di-
rectly to the valve of the repaired
wheel.
)
Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing the switch A
to position "1"

until the tyre pressure reaches
2.0 bars. If this pressure has not been
reached after approximately
fi ve to ten minutes, the tyre
cannot be repaired; contact a
CITROËN dealer to have your ve-
hicle repaired.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

)
Connect the compressor's elec-
tric plug to the vehicle's 12 V
socket again.

)
Start the vehicle again and leave
the engine running.

)
Adjust the pressure using the
compressor (to infl ate: switch A
in
position "1"
; to defl ate: switch A
in
position "0"
and press button B
),
in accordance with the vehicle's
tyre pressure label (located on
the door aperture on the left-hand
side), then remember to check that
the leak has been plugged cor-
rectly (no further loss of pressure
after several miles [kilometres]).

)
Remove the compressor, then
store the whole kit.

)
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the dis-
tance travelled to approximately
120 miles (200 km).

)
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop as soon as
possible to have the tyre repaired
or replaced by a technician. Take care as sealant car-
tridge contains ethylene-gly-
col. This product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation
to the eyes. Keep it out of reach of
children.
The expiry date of the sealant is
indicated on the base of the car-
tridge.
The cartridge is designed for a sin-
gle use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take it
to a CITROËN dealer or an autho-
rised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new car-
tridge, available from CITROËN
dealers or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre
under-infl ation detection, the tyre
under-infl ation warning lamp will
remain on after the wheel has been
repaired until the system is reini-
tialised by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
