Recommendations on
loading
The weight of the load must comply with
the Gross Train Weight (GTW).
For more information on Engine
technical data and towed loads, refer to
the corresponding section.
If you are using a carrying system (roof
bars/roof rack), comply with the maximum
loads associated with this system.
For more information on Roof bars/Roof
rack , refer to the corresponding section.
Make sure that the size, shape and
volume of the loads carried are compatible
with the highway code and safety
regulations and do not impair the driver’s
field of vision.
Steel or glass partitions separate the loading
area from the cab.
The load must be evenly distributed in the
loading area so as not to inter fere with
driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side panels,
or even push it against the side panels
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy
objects are placed as close to the cab as
possible as a precaution in case of sharp
braking.
Firmly secure all parts of the load using
the stowing rings on the floor of the
loading area.
For more information on the Interior
fittings
and in particular on the stowing
rings, refer to the corresponding section. To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the
load must be made stable so that it cannot
slide, tip over, fall or be thrown. To do this,
use only retaining straps that conform to
current standards (DIN for example).
For more information on putting straps
in place, refer to the manufacturer’s user
guide.
There must not be any empty space
between the components of the load.
To prevent the load sliding, there must not
be any empty space between the load and
the panels of the vehicle.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability
of the load with stable handling equipment
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control programme
incorporating 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).
-
D

ynamic stability control (DSC).
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 electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.

Safety

110
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
followed 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.
Intelligent traction control
If you vehicle has this function, it features a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult
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.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.
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.
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.
