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 dynamic stability
control (
d
SC)
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 control acts on the
brake
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 156 of 458
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.
deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu, accessible with the ignition on.
Its
state is memorised when the ignition is
s
witched off.
When the system is deactivated, a m essage is displayed every time the
i
gnition is switched on, to warn you.

Towing with the RACIng version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.
The space occupied by the
s
port diffuser prevents this.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
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. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
engine as soon as possible.
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.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.

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

In
order to optimise the operation of

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

in
the
circuit,
a
drop
in
t

indicates
that
