BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking
in complete safety in emergency
situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).
When braking in an emergen-
c y , p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e -
leasing the pressure. The two warning lights comes on at
the same time and the two warnings
are displayed alternately on the
instrument panel display.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by the indication on the
instrument panel display, it indicates
a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
If these two warning lights come
on, linked with the warnings on the
instrument panel display, they indicate a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces. The warning light comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on (ON position). If it does not switch
off or does not come on, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning light comes
on continuously it indicates
a malfunction of the anti-lock
braking system which could
result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-
hicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

The ASC/TCL systems offer
e x c e p t i o n a l s a f e t y i n n o r m a l
driving, but this should not en-
c o u r a g e t h e d r i v e r t o t a k e e x t r a r i s k s
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
CITRÖEN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITRÖEN dealer.
Disarming
I n e x c e p t i o n a l c o n d i t i o n s ( s t a r t i n g a v e -
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, etc.), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.
Press the “ASC OFF” button, locat-
ed to the right of the steering wheel,
until the ASC OFF symbol appears
on the instrument panel display.
The displaying of this symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel dis-
play indicates that the ASC and TCL
systems are disarmed. Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-
tomatically above 30 mph (50 km/h).
Press the “ASC OFF” button again
to reactivate them manually.
The switching off of the symbol in the
top right corner of the instrument panel
display indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.
Operating fault
The displaying of this mes-
sage on the instrument
panel display indicates a
malfunction of these sys-
tems.
Contact a CITRÖEN dealer to have the
ASC/TCL systems checked.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is
higher than 10 mph (15 km/h).
Anti-skid regulation and
electronic stability programme
The anti-skid regulation optimises trac-
tion 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.
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
T h i s i s i n d i c a t e d b y fl a s h i n g o f
this symbol on the instrument panel dis-
play.
Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:
- the anti-skid regulation (TCL),
- the electronic stability programme (ASC).
