Anti-lock BrakingSystem (ABS) fixed. The anti-lock braking system has a fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact aCITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.

fixed. The emission control system has a fault. The warning lamp should go off when the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop without delay.



Low fuel levelfixed, accompanied by and audible signal anda message.Wh
en it first comes on there remainsapproximately 6 litresof fuel in the
tank.
At this point, you begin to use the fuel reserve.Re
fuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp willcome on every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message.
This audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0".Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres.Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel,
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.

177Safety
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, 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 theresistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.

















Trajectory control systems (ESP)
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
control (ESC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.The electronic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automaticallyeach time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a gripor trajectory problem.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.

Intelligent traction control
s
ystem ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: intelligent traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snowor compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent tractioncontrol limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels of adhesion.
