Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
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 control acts on the brake
of one or more wheels and on the engine to
keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by
the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
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.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,
mud, ...), if you are unable to move off, it may
be useful to temporarily deactivate these
systems so that the wheels can spin freely and
allow the vehicle to move.
F

P
ress this button, located near the steering
wheel.
If the indicator lamp in the button
comes on, this indicates that these
systems are deactivated.
It is recommended that the systems
be reactivated as soon as possible.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
F

P
ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
Operating fault
The illumination of the indicator
lamps in the instrument panel and
in this button, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a fault with these
systems.
Have it checked by a CITR
oËn

dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The trajectory control systems offer
increased safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems is assured provided that
manufacturer's recommendations are
observed on:
-

w
heels (tyres and rims),
-
b

raking components,
-
el

ectronic components,
-

a
ssembly and repair procedures.
