TRIp COMpUTER: operating fault messages
These appear with the © warning light and mean that you should drive very carefully to an authorised dealer as
soon as possible. If you fail to follow this recommendation, you risk damaging your vehicle.
They disappear when the display selection key is pressed or after several seconds and are stored in the computer log. The
© warning light stays on. Examples of operating fault messages are given on the following pages .
Examples of messages Interpretation of messages
“CHECK ESp” Indicates a fault with the traction control system (refer to the information on
the “Traction control system: ASR ” in Section 2).
“CHECK AUTO LIGHTS ”Indicates an automatic lighting operating fault; contact an approved Dealer .

In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu -
late the force applied in the braking
system.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. they do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil -
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– the (A bS) (anti-lock braking
system);
– the electronic stability program
(ESP) with understeer control and
traction control (ASR);
– emergency brake assist. operating faults:

If the
x and © indicator
lights on the instrument panel come
on, braking is still operational but
without AbS;
– If the
x, ®, © and
D indicator lights on the instru -
ment panel come on when driving,
this indicates a fault with the braking
and AbS systems.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
AbS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi -
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par -
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).

Electronic stability program
(ESP) with understeer control
and traction control (ASR)
Indicator light 1 ù on the instru -
ment panel flashes when the function
starts operating. Electronic stability program ESP
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi
-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares the direction se-
lected by the driver and the actual di -
rection of the vehicle and corrects this
as necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the engine
power.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders -
teering (loss of front axle road holding). t
raction control (ASR)
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au -
tomatically until the drive supplied be -
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
