[. . . ] Exterior FAMILIARISATION 5 1 Exterior Key - Remote control Complete unlocking of the vehicle. Key : chapter identification : page identification Opening the bonnet 2a 17 Take care when working under the bonnet. Raise the bonnet slightly by reaching in a flat hand, palm down, to make access to the lever easier. Engage the base of the strut in the hole provided to hold the bonnet open. [. . . ] Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal. When changing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that these are recommended by CITROËN. If this warning light comes on, together with the brake ABS and STOP warning lights, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display, it indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle on braking. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer. In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be reached more quickly, press the pedal firmly without releasing it. It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is activated. This alters the resistance of the brake pedal under your foot. To prolong the operation of the emergency braking assistance system: keep your foot on the brake pedal. Driving safety 102 ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD) The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force distribution) systems improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on braking, in particular on poor or slippery surfaces. The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, the EBFD provides control of the braking pressure wheel by wheel. If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display, it indicates a malfunction of the ABS which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle on braking. EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA) ABS Good practice The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking distance. On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc. . . ) the ABS may increase the braking distance. When braking in an emergency, do not hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly, without releasing the pressure, even on a slippery surface, you will then be able to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid an obstacle. Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal. When changing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that these are recommended by CITROËN. If this warning light comes on, together with the brake ABS and STOP warning lights, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display, it indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle on braking. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer. In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be reached more quickly, press the pedal firmly without releasing it. It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is activated. This alters the resistance of the brake pedal under your foot. To prolong the operation of the emergency braking assistance system: keep your foot on the brake pedal. Driving safety 103 Operation of the ASR and ESP systems The luminous diode flashes when the ASR or ESP is triggered. Operating check When a malfunction of the systems occurs, the indicator light comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display. Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked. The warning light may also come on if the tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure of each tyre. Disarming the ASR/ESP systems In certain exceptional conditions (starting the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or on loose ground. . . ), it could prove useful to disarm the ASR and ESP systems to make the wheels spin and regain grip. - Press the button, located on the centre console. - The indicator light comes on: the ASR and ESP systems no longer act. TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP) These systems are linked and complement the ABS. [. . . ] Wait until the CD/DVD has been copied or stop the copying before starting the guidance function. In certain countries, only major routes (motorways, . . . ) are listed for the traffic information. The performance of the system may slow down temporarily if a CD/DVD is being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as a route is being calculated. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to receive more than 4 satellites correctly. The time taken to calculate a route sometimes seems longer than usual. The altitude is not displayed. Wait until the system has started up completely. [. . . ]
