If position N is selected inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to

accelerate.
If
the ambient temperature is below

23°C, the engine should be left at idle
f
or four minutes, to ensure the correct

Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
q
uickly, 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
e
fficiency.
When
braking in an emergency, press
f
irmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
o
f the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
d
riving wheels and on the engine.
The
electronic stability programme acts on the
b
rake of one or more wheels and on the engine
t
o keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
b
y the driver, within the limits of the laws of
p
hysics.Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They
come into operation in the event of a grip
o
r
t
rajectory
pro
blem.
This
is indicated by flashing of this
w
arning lamp in the instrument panel.
Safety
Page 160 of 376
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly the
s
ystem automatically applies the brakes to
a
void a collision. The
collision can be avoided automatically if the d
ifference in speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle
ahead does not exceed 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above
this threshold, the system will do what
i
s possible to avoid or reduce the accident by
lowering
the speed of impact.
The
automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a
complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily
(for about 1.5 seconds) to allow
t
he driver to take back control by pressing the
b
rake
ped
al.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
brake lamps on your vehicle come on to
w
arn other road users.
After
an impact, the system is
a
utomatically put out of service: it no
lon
ger
ope
rates.
You
must go to a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified workshop to have the system
m
ade operational again.
During
automatic braking, the driver
c
an always obtain a higher rate of
d
eceleration than that controlled by the
system,
by pressing firmly on the brake
ped
al.
The
triggering of the system may cause
t
he engine to stall, unless the driver
d
epresses the clutch pedal quickly
e
nough during automatic braking.

RAcING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar. The space occupied by the
s
port diffuser prevents this.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
The
rear parking sensors will be

eactivated automatically if a genuine

Manual gearbox
Automatic gearboxBrake pads
Brake wear depends on the style o
f driving, particularly in the case o
f vehicles used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to have
t
he condition of the brakes checked,
e
ven between vehicle services.
The
gearbox
does
not
require
any
m
aintenance
(no
oil
change).
Refer
to
the
maintenance
and

this
component.
Only
use products recommended by

N or products of equivalent
quality
an

sp
ecification.
In
order to optimise the operation of
u
nits as important as those in the
b
raking system, CITROËN selects and
o
ffers very specific products.
The
gearbox
does
not
require
any
m

(no

Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m aintenance (no oil change).
Refer
to the maintenance and
w
arranty guide for details of the
c
hecking interval for this component. For
information on checking brake
d
isc wear, contact a CITR
oË
N dealer
or
a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wearParking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of e
ffectiveness of this system is
n
oticed, the parking brake must be
c
hecked, even between two services.
Unless
there
is
a
leak
in
the
circuit,
a
drop
in
t
he
brake
fluid
level
indicates
that
the
brake

are
worn. Checking
this system must be done by a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
