[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] 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. 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. 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. - 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. The ASR system is very useful for maintaining optimum drive and avoiding losses of control of the vehicle on acceleration. The system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of the drive wheels and on the engine. It also allows the directional stability of the vehicle to be improved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the ESP system automatically acts on the engine and the brake of one or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle back on course. Good practice The ASR/ESP systems offer increased safety during normal driving, but should not incite the driver to take risks or to drive at high speed. The operation of these systems is ensured if the recommendations of the manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the fitting and repair procedures within the CITROËN network are observed. After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer. They engage again: - automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h), - manually by pressing the button again. SAFETY 4 Seat belts Good practice 104 The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all strapped in securely before moving off. Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys. The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel which automatically adjusts the length of the strap to your size. Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips, safety pins, etc. ) which permit a clearance with the seat belt straps. After folding or moving a seat or a rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is rolled up correctly and that the buckle is ready to accommodate the tongue. Depending on the nature and seriousness of any impact, the pretensioning device may be triggered before and independently of inflation of the air bags. It instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants. Triggering 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. SEAT BELTS Height adjustment Squeeze the control with the return and slide the assembly on the driver's seat side and on the individual passenger seat side. Unfastening Press the red button. Fastening Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the buckle. Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap. Driver's seat belt not fastened warning light When the vehicle is started, this warning light comes on if the driver has not fastened his seat belt. Seat belts The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt against the body of the occupants. The pretensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is switched on. [. . . ] 43 QUESTION The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87. 5 Mhz is displayed. . . ). RESPONSE The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling. SOLUTION Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area. The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks. . . ) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment. The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer. Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route. With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time depends on the battery charge. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge. 9. However, certain traffic jams along the route are not indicated in real time. RESPONSE On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the traffic information. SOLUTION Wait until the traffic information is being received correctly (displaying of the traffic information symbols on the map). 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.
