Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding o
f the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
d
riving wheels and on the engine.
The
electronic stability programme acts on the
b
rake of one or more wheels and on the engine
t
o keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by
t
he driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This
is indicated by flashing of this
w
arning lamp in the instrument panel. The
ASR /ESP systems offer
e
xceptional safety in normal driving, but
t
his should not encourage the driver to
t
ake extra risks or drive at high speed.
The
correct functioning of these
s
ystems depends on observation of
t
he
ma
nufacturer's
r
ecommendations
r
egarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
t
he braking components, the electronic
c
omponents and the assembly
a
nd repair procedures used by the
C
ITROËN dealer network.
After
an impact, have these systems
c
hecked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.

T
he lamp in the button goes off.
The
symbol going off in the instrument panel
i
ndicates the reactivation of the ASR and
ES
P systems.
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 ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels
c
an move freely and regain grip.
Trajectory control systems

These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They
come into operation in the event of a grip
