Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem of grip or trajectory.
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 system, so that the wheels can turn freely
and regain grip.
Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.F
P
ress this button, located on
the lower left of the dashboard
(driver's side), until the
corresponding symbol appears
in the instrument panel screen.
The button indicator light comes on.
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.
This is indicated by this warning light
flashing in the instrument panel.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Safety

Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually.
F
P
ress this button again to
reactivate the system manually.
The button indicator light goes off. These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. For your safety, you should
therefore keep these systems activated at
all times, particularly in poor conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding both the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
and the assembly and repair procedures
used by
CITROËN dealers.
In order to benefit from the efficiency of
these systems in winter conditions, we
recommend using snow tyres.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
