SAFETY
Driving safety
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS system improves vehicle stability
and handling during braking, particularly on
surfaces with poor adhesion (e.g. damaged
or slippery road surfaces).
Note : when changing a wheel (tyres
and rims), ensure that they meet the
manufacturer ’s requirements.
The anti-locking system automatically
intervenes when there is a risk of the wheels
locking.
The normal functioning of the ABS system
may be indicated by light vibrations on the
brake pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
hard on the brake pedal without releasing
the force.
If the ABS warning lamp lights
up on the instrument panel, this
indicates a malfunction of the ABS
system, which could lead to a loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not permit shorter
braking. On very slippery road surfaces
(ice, oil, etc.) the ABS may lengthen the
braking distances. In emergency braking,
do not hesitate to press the brake pedal
firmly, without releasing the pressure, even
on slippery roads, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.

Child safety
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child’s protection in
the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation to the child’s body to a minimum ,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the “forward
facing” child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle’s seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort. Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child’s shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child’s thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the “Child lock”.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the side windows.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the “forward facing” position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag when a “rear
facing” child seat is installed on the front
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag were
to inflate.

Towing a trailer
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the “Levels” section of chapter 7.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the “Identification
features” section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.

Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
Rear parking assistance :
the assistance will be deactivated
automatically when a CITROËN towbar is
used (see the “Rear parking assistance”
section of chapter 4).
Towbar
We recommend the use of CITROËN
towbars and their harnesses, which have
been tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of
this equipment is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer .
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at the
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s instructions.
The operation of the sensors is deactivated
automatically when the pin of the trailer
cable is inserted in the towbar socket.
When the trailer cable pin is removed, the
sensors are re-activated.

Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the “Technical data”
chapter for details of the weights and
towed loads applicable to your vehicle and
also to the administrative documents (V5
registration document, ...).
