The ESP

system offers increased

driving safety but is not in place to

encourage the driver to take addi-

tional risks or to drive at excessive

speeds.
The functioning of this system is

subject to compliance with the

manufacturer’s recommendations

on wheels (tyres and rims), brake

parts and electronic components,

as well as with the assembly and

repair procedures approved by

CITROËN.

After any collision, have this system

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP) AND
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)

These systems are closely associated with ABS and additional to it. In the

event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESP system acts

automatically on one or more wheels and also on the engine to bring the

vehicle back on trajectory. The ASR system optimises traction and prevents

wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels as well as on the

engine. It also improves steering stability during acceleration.

OPERATION

When either the ESP or the ASR

system is brought into operation

the warning lamp "ESP/ASR" ﬂ ashes.

DEACTIVATION

In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, etc.) it may

prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to

spin and thus regain traction.
Press on button A, the "ESP/ASR" warning lamp, as well as the lamp on

the button A

, light up. The ESP/ASR systems are no longer active.

The ESP/ASR systems will activate again:

Automatically

after the ignition has been switched off.

Automatically

when you drive at above approx. 50 km/h (approx.

30 mph).
Manually

with another press on button A.

OPERATIONAL ANOMALY

Should there be a system malfunction, the "ESP/ASR" warning lamp will

light up.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.

B R A K E S

ABS system

The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden braking

or in conditions of poor road adherence. It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The functioning capability of all the electrical components essential to the ABS is monitored electronically

before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch on the ignition: it should go out

after a few seconds.
If the monitoring warning lamp does not go out, that means that the ABS has disconnected because there is a fault.

Also, the fact that the monitoring warning lamp comes on during the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive.

In both cases, the normal braking system remains efﬁ cient, exactly as on a vehicle without ABS. However, in order

for the security associated with the correct functioning of the ABS to be restored, the vehicle should be examined as

soon as possible by a CITROËN dealer.

for the security associated with the correct functioning of the ABS to be restored, the vehicle should be examined as

On roads with poor adherence (chippings, snow, ice etc.), it is always imperative to drive with prudence.

SYSTEM OF EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE

The emergency braking assistance system helps you to attain the required braking pressure more rapidly, thus to

reduce the stopping distance. It operates as a function of the speed of action on the brake pedal, decreasing the

resistance to this action. To prolong this action of the emergency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot

on the brake pedal.

If the Electronic Parking Brake is off, the lighting of this warning lamp in conjunction with the

STOP

warning lamp indicates that the brake ﬂ uid level is low or that the braking distributor is mal-

functioning. It is essential to stop the vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

The warning lamp comes

on if the parking brake is on

or not properly released

or if you try to release the

brake without pressing

on the brake pedal.

If these two warn-

ing lamps come on

together, this indi-

cates that the elec-

tric parking brake

is malfunctioning.
The brake is on.

If this warning lamp comes

The Piloted Deﬂ ector enhances

the aerodynamics and the braking

of your vehicle.

AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT

Two deployment stages are pos-

sible:

The ﬁ rst deployment stage

is from around 65 km / h

(40 mph)

. This prevails as long

as the speed remains above

approx. 25 km / h (16 mph);

below this speed, the Piloted

Deﬂ ector retracts completely.

The second deployment stage

is from around 125 km / h

(78 mph)

. This prevails as long

as the speed remains above

approx. 105 km / h (65 mph);

below this speed, the Piloted

Deﬂ ector

returns to the ﬁ rst)

deployment stage.

•

MAINTENANCE

For any maintenance that may be

necessary on your Piloted Deﬂ ec-

tor (leaves or other components

jammed, deploy it in the mainte-

nance position: Switch off the igni-

tion then within one minute action

the wiper stalk. Your Piloted Deﬂ ec-

tor deploys.
Next, to retract it, start then drive at

over 10 km/h (6 mph).
Note: The maintenance position
makes the wipers stand up verti-
cally. See "Wash/wipe".

ACCESSORIES

It is recommended to place

the Piloted Deﬂ ector in the

maintenance position before

installing an accessory on the

boot (for example a bicycle-

carrier).

Installation of accessories on

the vehicle (roof bars, roof box,

bicycle-carrier, etc.) limits the

effectiveness of the Piloted

Deﬂ ector.

Remark:

Depending on engine-

type, certain versions are equipped

with a ﬁ xed deﬂ ector.

•

If you wash the vehicle with a high pressure system, make sure that the

Piloted Deﬂ ector is closed.

As the vehicle approaches the

obstacle, the sound signal becomes

more and more urgent and the

shaded areas are displayed closer

and closer to the vehicle.

Proximity sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers of your vehi-

cle.
When manœuvring in either forward or reverse gear, at a low speed less

than approx. 10 km / h (6 mph)

, they inform you of the presence of any

obstacle that is within their zone of detection by:

A sound signal emitted by the front or rear loudspeakers.

Display of the outline of your vehicle with shading corresponding to the

area where an obstacle is detected.

As the vehicle approaches the obstacle, the sound signal tells you the posi-

tion of the obstacle according to whether the sound is coming from the front

LH or RH or the rear LH or RH loudspeakers.
Note: The sound volume of your audio equipment reduces automatically
when a signal is being emitted.

When the obstacle is less

than around 25 centime-

tres from the vehicle, the

sound signal becomes

continuous with display

of a "WARNING" panel on the

screen.

ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION

You can activate/deactivate the

parking assistance by pressing

button 1

. When the parking assist-

ance is inactive, the warning lamp

on button 1 is lit up.
Activation/deactivation of the park-

ing assistance is memorised when

you stop the vehicle.
Remark:

If you wish to tow a

trailer, it is necessary to deactivate

the parking assistance by pressing

button 1

. The warning lamp on the

button lights up.

OPERATION

When you engage reverse gear

a sound signal conﬁ rms to you

that the system is active. The out-

line of your vehicle appears on the

screen. Any obstacles located to

the rear or to the front of the vehi-

cle can be detected.
When moving forward at a
speed less than approx. 10 km/h
(6 mph)

, whether in neutral or in

gear, the vehicle outline appears

on the screen as soon as an obsta-

cle is detected in front of the vehi-

cle. Any obstacles located to the

rear or to the front of the vehicle

can be detected.

Remarks:

The proximity sensors cannot

detect objects that are

immediately under or over the

bumpers.

A thin object such as a spike,

a bollard or similar, can only

be detected at the start of the

manœuvre but not when the

vehicle arrives close up to it.
In poor weather or in winter,

you need to ensure that the

sensors are not covered with

mud or with ice or snow.

This driving assistance device warns you when you unwittingly cross a

lane marking (either a continuous or a dotted line on the road surface). It

is designed for use on motorways and dual carriageways, operating only

above speeds of approx. 80 km / h (50 mph).

ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION

A press on button 1

activates the function, the warning lamp on the button

lights up.
A second press on button 1 deactivates the function, the warning lamp on

the button goes out.
When you start the engine, the mode (activated/deactivated) selected when

you stopped the engine is retained.

OPERATION

Above a speed of around 80 km/h (50 mph), if you cross a lane marking, you are alerted to this by a vibration within

the cushion of your seat:

On the right hand side if you cross a lane marking to the right.

On the left hand side if you cross a lane marking to the left.

The system does not alert you if one of your direction indicators is operating and for approx. 20 seconds after the

direction indicator has stopped.

Remarks

This system is designed to identify trafﬁ c lane markings.
In certain cases it may trigger an alert that is unnecessary, for example if the vehicle passes over a directional arrow

or some unusual road marking.
The system may be affected temporarily by conditions external to the vehicle:

Detection of lane markings made difﬁ cult by:

Markings being worn.

Insufﬁ cient contrast with the general road surface.

Sensors being negated by:

Driving in snow or heavy rain.

Driving on roads that are covered with mud or water

puddles.

If there is prolonged interference, contact a CITROËN

dealer.

In addition to the catalytic converter, this ﬁ lter contributes actively to the preserving of air quality, by collecting the

polluting particles that have not been burnt off. Black exhaust fumes are thus eliminated.

Simultaneous lighting of the SERVICE and depollution system warning lamps indicates an

increased risk of clogging.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

DIESEL ADDITIVE LEVEL

If the additive level is low, it is necessary to top up the additive level.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

CLOGGING OF THE PARTICLE FILTER

Clogging is caused by the particle ﬁ lter starting to be saturated (owing to exceptionally long periods

spent driving in urban conditions: low speeds, trafﬁ c jams, etc.).
In order to regenerate the ﬁ lter you are advised to drive as soon as possible, when trafﬁ c conditions

allow, at a speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) or more for at least 5 minutes. If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION

When you start the vehicle, doors
and boot closed, the system
automatically locks the doors
as soon as you reach a speed of
around 10 km / h (6 mph).
Note: If a door has been opened,
this will lock again automatically
when the vehicle reaches approx.
10 km/h (6 mph).

Activation/Deactivation of
the anti-intrusion protection

Give a long press on control A for
central locking until you see a mes-
sage displayed.

ANTI-THEFT

The boot locks automatically as
soon as the vehicle reaches a
speed of around 10 km / h (6 mph).
Note: The opening of a door or use
of the control A unlocks the vehicle.

Your vehicle is ﬁ tted with doors that have frameless windows. When you open the doors, immediately you

action the exterior handle, a micro-descent device on the SIDE WINDOWS lowers the glass slightly.
If this device were not working properly, it could result in the windows breaking:

If there should be a battery failure:

Open the doors gently.
Do not close the door abruptly as this risks breaking the window, if possible wait until the battery is
powering the vehicle again.

If you are intending to work on the battery, open the windows ﬁ rst.

In freezing conditions, ice may form to hinder the operation of the micro-descent device. If the action

on the door handle does not move the window down, it is essential ﬁ rst to free the ice.

immediately you touch an interior
door handle.
The window recloses, automati-
cally adjusting for a perfect seal.

IMPORTANT

This function has no anti-pinch. Do
not leave your hand on the window
when you close the door
Any interruption of your vehicle's
electrical supply will prevent the
windows from opening and closing
correctly.
Remark: Travelling at high speed,
closing of windows may be hin-
dered by the aerodynamic pres-
sure. Acoustic comfort may then
be adversely affected.

ELECTRICALLY-CONTROLLED CHILD SAFETY

This deactivates the controls in the rear of the vehicle, both for the rear win-
dows and for opening the rear doors from the inside.
