Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
Trajectory control systems
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.
)
Press this button button, located on the
dashboard to the right of the steering
wheel, until the corresponding symbol
appears in the instrument panel screen.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is star ted.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated
automatically.
)
Press this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESP
systems.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
The ASR /ESP systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer’s recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures used by the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
The display of this message
in the instrument panel
indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP systems checked.
