Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency 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
audible signal and a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake
force distribution which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
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
and a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely 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 fulfil 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 firmly on the strap and
releasing it so that it reels in slightly. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- be tightened as close to the body as
possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
- be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle,
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.
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.
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.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P
or N
to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P
, when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched
off, there is an audible signal and a
message appears.
Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the multifunction
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R
and from N
to R
. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if a door
is opened.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from position P
to another position when the
battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear lever at N
and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.
Page 218 of 400
Stop & Start
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.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
With an electronic gearbox, for your
comfort during parking maoeuvres,
STOP mode is not available for a few
seconds after coming out of reverse
gear.
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. The "ECO"
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral and release the clutch
pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox
, at a speed
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever into
position N
.
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets
itself to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key. STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start using
the key,
- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some 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 off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

No alert will be given in the following situations:
- in the presence of stationary objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs...),
- with vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
- driving on a sinuous road or a sharp
corner, The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,
cycle - is detected and the following conditions
are fulfilled:
- all the vehicles must be moving in the
same direction,
- the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
75 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
- the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the other vehicles must be less
than 6 mph (10 km/h),
- the traffic must be flowing normally,
- in the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
- you are driving on a straight or slightly
cur ved road,
- your vehicle is not pulling a trailer,
a caravan...
- when over taking (or being over taken by) a
very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is
at the same time detected at the rear in the
blind spot angle and present in the driver's
for ward field of vision,
- in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry
or a stationary object,
- when overtaking quickly.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
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
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.
To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
If the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
