General safety
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For all work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
Installing electrical accessories:
– The fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by CITROËN
may cause excessive current consumption
and failure of the vehicle's electrical system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer for information on
the range of approved accessories.
– As a safety measure, access to the
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's
electronic systems, is reserved strictly for
CITROËN dealers, equipped with the special
tools required (risk of malfunctions of the
vehicle's electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents). The
Manufacturer cannot be held responsible if
this advice is not followed.
– Any modification or adaptation not intended
or authorised by CITROËN or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements
defined by the Manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the commercial warranty.

Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) and Electronic
Brake Force Distribution
(EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle's stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
This warning lamp is continuously on in
the event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
This warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal, indicates an EBFD
malfunction.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.
The normal operation of the ABS may
result in slight vibrations in the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
the brake pedal very firmly and
maintain this pressure.
