Do not forget to switch them off when they
are no longer necessary.
LED daytime running
lamps
On starting the vehicle, in daylight the LED
daytime running lamps come on automatically.
If the sidelamps, dipped or main beam
headlamps are switched on manually or
automatically, the daytime running lamps
"go out.
Programming
For countries where exterior lighting by day is
not a legal requirement, you can activate or
deactivate the function via the configuration
menu.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
dipped beam headlamps are switched on
automatically if the light is poor.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
beam headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light
returns to a
sufficient level.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor at the
top centre of the windscreen.

If the ambient light level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
Flashing the headlamps again pauses the
function and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode.
The function is disabled automatically below
9
mph (15 km/h).
If main beam is nevertheless necessary, flash
the headlamps again; main beam will then
remain on until the vehicle reaches a
speed of
25
mph (40 km/h).
Above 25
mph (40 km/h), the function is
reactivated automatically (provided that the
headlamps have not been flashed again in the
meantime, to change to dipped beam).
Deactivation
F Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the " Dipped beam "
position. The system may suffer inter ference or not
work correctly:

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC) integrating the
following systems:
-

a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
Horn
F Press the central part of the steering wheel.
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
(EBFD) manages the braking pressure wheel
by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Safety

70
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Switching on
This system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a grip or trajectory problem, this
system comes into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
F

P
ress this button to deactivate the system.
The button's warning lamp comes on
accompanied by a
message in the instrument
panel screen, indicating that the ASR system is
deactivated.
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on.
F

P
ress this button again to reactivate it
manually.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a
fault
with the ASR system.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a


qualified workshop. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature 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 towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a
trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o 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 Headlamp
beam height adjustment , 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.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
CITROËN dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully; in
case of loss, inter vention by the CITROËN
dealer will be more efficient and quicker
if you present this number and the
confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.

Driving

90
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency services more difficult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
-

e
nsure that you are given the
confidential card,
-

h
ave the keys recorded by a CITROËN
dealer to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones which
can start the vehicle.
Confidential card
It contains the identification code necessary for
any work carried out by a CITROËN dealer on
the electronic immobiliser system. This code is
hidden by a
film, which should be removed only
if necessary.
Keep your card in a
safe place, never inside the
vehicle.
When undertaking a
long trip or journey,
however, it is advisable to take it with you along
with your personal papers.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you wish to move off.
Restart is instantaneous, quick and silent.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions and offers the comfort of complete
silence when stationary.
Going into engine STOP
mode
With the vehicle stationary, put the gear lever
into neutral, then release the clutch pedal.This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby.
Automatic stopping of the engine is only
possible after the vehicle has exceeded
a
speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h), to avoid
repeated stopping of the engine when
driving slowly. Never leave your vehicle before turning off
the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
