Trajectory control systems



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 and ESP systems, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip. ) Press this button button, located on the
dashboard to the right of the steeringwheel, until the corresponding symbol
appears in the instrument panel screen.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
The displa
y of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.

Reactivation

These systems are not reactivated automatically.
)Press this button again to reactivate themmanually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel indicates
the reactivation of the ASR and ESP systems. The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction 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 requiredby the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.



The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, butthis should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these systems depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the assembly and repair procedures used by theCITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.



Operating fault
The display of this message in the instrument panel indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP s
ystems checked.

As a safety measure, the motor will
not star t when the charging cable isconnected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to star t the motor interrupts the charging procedure. It willthen be necessary to disconnect and reconnect the charging cable plug tocontinue charging.


After charging, close the chargingsocket cover and flap. Take care to avoid the ingress of water or dust to the socket and its cover or the charging plug. Risk of fire or electrocution.
After charging, do not leave the cableconnected to the electric power point. There is a risk of shor t circuit or electrocution if it is contacted or immersed in water.
To optimise the ser vice life of the
main battery, charge it completelyevery 15 days.
For a complete charge, follow the normal charging procedure (domestic power point) without interruption, until itstops automatically (charging warning lamp off in the instrument panel).

The char
ge warning lamp in the instrument panel goes off when charging is complete. )Press the button to remove the chargingplug.)Refit the protective cover to the chargingcable. )Close the charging socket cover, then
the flap.)Disconnect the charging cable from
the power point.
)Stow the charging cable in the bag provided.
Vehicle out of use for a longperiod

When your vehicle is going to be outof use for a long period, charge the main battery completely every three months (following the normal charging procedure).
Before charging, check that the ancillaries battery is not disconnected or discharged. If this is the case, refer to the "ancillaries battery" section for reconnecting or charging the battery.

Check that the charging warning lamp
in the instrument panel is on fixed.
Fast charging stops automatically whenthe battery is around 80 % charged.It is possible to attain a level of 100 %charged by restarting the procedure. However, the time taken by this additional charge will be relatively long,
as the charging rate is reduced.


During the fast charge, the vehicle's air conditioning may start automatically,if needed to cool the main battery. It istherefore perfectly normal to hear thenoise of a fan running from outside thevehicle and to see a puddle of water form under the vehicle.


As a safety measure, the motor will not star t when the charging cable isconnected to the vehicle's socket. Also, any attempt to star t the motor interrupts the charging procedure. It will then be necessary to disconnectand reconnect the charging cable plug to continue charging, following the instructions for using the charging station.


If the ambient temperature is below 0 °C, the charging time may be longer.
If the ambient temperature is below -25 °C, charging may not be possible. If this is not the case, charging has not star ted;
check the operating instructions for the charging station. The charging warning lamp in the instrument
panel goes off when charging is complete. ) Disconnect the charging cable followingthe instructions for the charging terminal.)
Close the charging socket cover and the
flap.

After charging, close the chargingsocket cover and flap. Take care to avoid the ingress of water or dust to the socket and its cover or the charging plug. Risk of fire or electrocution.
