A
ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM. Thisprovides:Exterior perimeter protection
by means of detectors on the
vehicle access points (doors,
boot, bonnet) as well as on the electrical supply.
Interior volumetric protection
by means of ultrasonic sensors (detecting movement inside thepassenger compartment). This can be deactivated using thecontrol1.
•
•
The installation also has a siren,
and a warning lamp on the con-
trol1 which is visible from outside
the vehicle, indicating the three
possible statuses of the alarm:Alarm not active (disarmed),
warning lamp off.
Alarm active
(armed), the
warning lamp fl ashes slowly.
Alarm tri
ggered (signalling an
intrusion), the warning lamp
fl ashes rapidly if the alarm is deactivated by a press on thecontrol A. It stops as soon as you switch on the ignition.Note: If there is a malfunction,
the warning lamp remains perma-nently on.

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
OPERATING THE ALARM
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button Bon the remote control.
With the alarm armed, the protections are active after 5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).
When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion
will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by
the direction indicators lighting up.
The alarm then
goes back on standby, but the trigger-
ing remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid fl ashing of the warning lamp on control1 after you have deactivated the alarm with a press on the unlocking button A. The fl ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.
The siren is also tri
ggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply
then press on the unlocking button A.Note:If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the
alarm, just lock with the key only.
If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is still open, the central locking does not operate but the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.Note: The siren is automatically deactivated (for example for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control.

Deactivating the volumetric detection
You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection
only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
For this, switch o
ff the ignition then immediately pressbutton1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp on button1should come perma-nently on. It will start to fl ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm b
y locking your vehicle with the remotecontrol.
It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detec-
tion when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the
random triggering of the alarm.
Automatic activation (according to destination)
The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the
last door, or the boot, has been closed.
In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you
open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press
the unlocking button A again on the remote control.

BRAKES
ABS system
The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden brakingor in conditions of poor road adherence. It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The
functioning capability of all the electrical components essential to the ABS is monitored electronically before and
during your journey. The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch on the ignition: it should go out after a fewseconds.
If the monitoring warning lamp does not go out, that means that the ABS has disconnected because there is a fault.Also, the fact that the monitoring warning lamp comes on during the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive.
In both cases, the normal braking system remains effi cient, exactly as on a vehicle without ABS. However, to restorethe level of safety provided by correct operation of the ABS, the vehicle should be inspected as soon as possible bya CITROÀN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.yp y p
On roads with poor adherence (chippings, snow, ice etc.), it is always imperative to drive with prudence.
SYSTEM OF EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
The emergency braking assistance system helps you to attain the required braking pressure more rapidly, thus toreduce the stopping distance. It operates depending on the speed of action on the brake pedal, decreasing theresistance to this action. To prolong this action of the emergency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
If the Electric Parking Brake is off, the lighting of this warning lamp in conjunction with theSTOPwarn-ing lamp indicates that the brake fl uid level is low or that the braking distributor is malfunctioning. It isessential to stop the vehicle. Alert a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop as soon as possible.gpgg
