With the engine running and the vehicle
stationary, in order to immobilise the vehicle
it is essential to manually apply the parking
brake by pulling control lever A.
Immobilising the vehicle,
engine running
The emergency braking must only be
used in exceptional circumstances.
Before leaving the vehicle, ensure
that parking brake warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on fixed, not flashing.
The application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
-

i

llumination of the braking
warning lamp and the P warning
lamp in the control lever A ,
-

d

isplay of the message "Parking
brake on".
When the driver’s door is opened, a message is
displayed accompanied by an audible signal, if
the parking brake has not been applied.
With an automatic gearbox, the audible signal
and the message will not appear if the gear
selector is at position P .
Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. starting the engine),
the parking brake can automatically alter its
force. This is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centimetres
without starting the engine, but with the ignition
on, press on the brake pedal and release the
parking brake by pulling then releasing the
control lever A . The full release of the parking
brake is confirmed by the warning lamps in
the control lever A and in the instrument panel
going off and display of the message "Parking
brake off ".
Emergency braking
In the event of failure of the electronic
stability control system, signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
braking stability is then not guaranteed.
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever A will stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability control provides stability
during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
the message "Parking brake faulty" will be
displayed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever A
.

Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(e.g. a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or
a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, depending
on equipment, to identify it.

illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.

workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
by your vehicle (e.g. fitting snow tyres),
you must have the system reinitialised by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger
a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane
marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.The lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe driving
regulations and take a break every
two
hours.
Deactivation
F Press this button again, the indicator lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off. No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20
seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard marking
(e.g. graffiti) is crossed.
Operating fault
The detection may be impeded:
- i f the sensors are dirty (mud, snow...),
-

i
f the markings on the ground are
worn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between
the markings on the ground and
the road sur face.
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.Detection
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's
seat cushion:
-

o
n the right-hand side, if the marking on
the ground has been crossed on the right,
-

o
n the left-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the left.
Activation
F When switching the ignition on or with the engine running, press this button; the
indicator lamp comes on.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine oil level
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns)
and the cooling fan could start at any
time (even with the ignition off).
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level

for more than 30 minutes.
Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Checking using the dipstick
F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
