Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)Activation
These systems are activated automatically each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
As
  soon   as   they   detect   a   problem   of   grip   or  
t

rajectory,   these   systems   act   on   the   operation   if  
t

he   engine   and   brakes.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which   is   bogged   down,   stuck   in   snow,   on   soft  
g

round...),   it   may   be   advisable   to   deactivate  
t

he   DSC   and   ASR,   so   that   the   wheels   can   turn  
f

reely   and   regain   grip.
This
 
is
 
indicated
 
by
 
flashing
 
of
 
this
 
w

arning
 
lamp
 
in
 
the
 
instrument
 
panel. Reactivate
  the   systems   as   soon   as   the   level   of  
g

rip   permits. F
 
P
ress   this   button.
This
  indicator   lamp   and   the   indicator  
l

amp   in   the   button   come   on.
The
  DSC   and   ASR   systems   no   longer   act  
o

n   the   operation   of   the   engine   and   on   the  
b

rakes   in   the   event   of   a   involuntary   change   of  
t

rajectory.
DSC/ASR
The DSC and ASR systems offer increased s afety   in   normal   driving,   but   they   should   not  
e

ncourage   the   driver   to   take   extra   risks   or   drive  
a

t   high   speed.
It
  is   in   conditions   of   reduced   grip   (rain,   snow,  
i

ce)   that   the   risk   of   loss   of   grip   increases.  
I

t   is   therefore   important   for   your   safety   to  
k

eep   the   DSC   and   ASR   systems   activated  
i

n   all   conditions,   and   particularly   in   difficult  
c

onditions. The
  correct   operation   of   these   systems  
d

epends   on   observation   of   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations   regarding   as   much   the  
w

heels   (tyres   and   rims),   braking   and   electronic  
c

omponents   as   the   assembly   and   repair  
p

rocedures   used   by   CITROËN   dealers.
To   benefit   in   full   from   the   effectiveness   of   the  
D

SC   and   ASR   systems   in   wintry   conditions,  
t

he   vehicle   must   be   fitted   with   four   snow  
t

yres,   allowing   the   the   vehicle   to   retain   neutral  
b

ehaviour   on   the   road.
