ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS) AND ELECTRONIC BRAKE
FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or

HORN
Press one of the spokes of the steering
w h e e l . When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), make sure that these are
a p p r o v e d .
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there

When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message,
it indicates that there is a
malfunction of the ABS, which
can cause a loss of control of the

When this warning light
comes on, connected to
the STOP warning light,
accompanied by a buzzer
and a message, it indicates
that there is a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution,
which can cause a loss of control of

Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a CITROËN
d e a l e r .
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
t h e b r a k e p e d a l .
In emergency braking, press
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 t h e
pressure.
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g i t .
It is triggered by the speed at which the
b r a k e p e d a l i s a c t i v a t e d .
This alters the resistance of the brake

This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure

its best and to avoid premature wear
of the tyres, in particular in the case
of arduous driving (heavy load, high

Airbags
Disarming
The passenger's front air bag alone can be disarmed:
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passenger air bag disarming switch,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
then remove the key keeping the s l o t i n t h i s p o s i t i o n .
Front air bags
The front air bags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver

Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display, consult a CITROËN signal and a message on the signal and a message on the
dealer to have the system c h e c k e d .
Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger air bag will not be triggered in the e v e n t o f a n i m p a c t .
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the air bag slot to the "ON"position to re-activate the air bag and thus ensure the safety of your p a s s e n g e r i n t h e e v e n t o f a n i m p a c t .
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passenger air bag when you install a rear-facing child seat on the front p a s s e n g e r s e a t .

Towing a trailer
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually. P l e a s e c o n t a c t a C I T R O Ë N d e a l e r fi r s t
for further information.
Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, and if
the change in load makes it necessary,
this system automatically corrects the
height of the beam after approximately
2 minutes. The driver is then assured
of having optimum lighting and not
causing a nuisance to other road
users.
In certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the
maximum load up a steep slope
in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power.
In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
t o w i n g s p e e d t o b e s i g n i fi c a n t l y
increased (approximately 12 mph
[20 km/h] more). Sequential control
of the gearbox may also become
unavailable. Lighting
Bicycle carrier I f y o u fi t a b i c y c l e c a r r i e r o n
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display’s
c o n fi g u r a t i o n m e n u .
R e f e r t o t h e " I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
features" section of chapter 9. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 8.
If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Towbar
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
T o w i n g e q u i p m e n t m u s t b e fi t t e d i n
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
t h e e l e c t r i c a l c o n n e c t i o n . A s t h i s fi t t i n g
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
fi t t i n g o f t h i s e q u i p m e n t t o a C I T R O Ë N
dealer .
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
w i t h fi t t i n g a t o w b a r o r o t h e r e l e c t r i c a l
accessory which is not recommended
by the CITROËN network . Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure of
your vehicle’s electronic system. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.

Having your vehicle towed From the rear
- Unclip the top of the cover using a coin,
- Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Special features of the
automatic gearbox
When being towed with four wheels on
the road, it is essential to observe the
following rules:
- selector lever in position N ,
- tow the vehicle at a speed below 30 mph (50 km/h) over a distance
limited to 30 miles (50 km)
m a x i m u m ,
- d o n o t a d d o i l t o t h e g e a r b o x .
When towing with the engine switched
off, there is no braking or steering
assistance.
Without lifting
(4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towbar.
The removable towing eye is inside the
engine compartment.
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing the
bottom part,
- Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks. Lifting (2 wheels on the road only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using professional lifting equipment.
