Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-

e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-

e
mergency braking assistance (EBA).Anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, in
particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal. When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by an
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal

Safety

160
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfill their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the length
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling the strap firmly and then
releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer
to the corresponding section.
Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- b e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety regulations,
for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go
to a qualified workshop with the skills and
equipment needed, which a CITROËN dealer
is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN
dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
If the exterior temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.

circumstances, it is necessary to
turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the " START/STOP " button
to assist unlocking of the steering;
a message warns you when this is
needed.
The presence of the "Keyless Entry
and Starting" electronic key in the
recognition zone is essential.
As a safety measure, do not leave this
zone with the vehicle running.
Diesel vehicles
In temperatures below zero
the engine will not start until
the preheater warning lamp
has gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on after
pressing " START/STOP ", you should
hold the brake or clutch pedal down

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key or the "START/
STOP" button.
With a manual gearbox, at a
speed below 12 mph (20 km/h),
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
t
he vehicle is on a steep slope (up or
d ow n),
-
t
he driver's door is open,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start (using
the key or the "START/STOP" button),
-
t
he electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
-

he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-

-
s
ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes

This operation is perfectly normal.
With an automatic gearbox,
when
the vehicle is stationary, this warning mode during a journey. It resets itself to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the
key or the "START/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start

system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in
the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as
soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as
well as the noise level when stationary.
