ABS system
The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden braking or in conditions of poor road adherence. It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The functioning capability of all the electrical components essential to the ABS is monitored electronically before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp lights up when you sw itch on the ignition: it should go out after a few seconds.
If the monitoring warning lamp does not go out, that means that the ABS has disconnected because there is a fault. Also, the fact that the monitoring warning lamp comes on durin g the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive.

On roads with poor adherence (chippings, snow, ice etc.), it is always imperative to drive with prudence.
System of emergency braking assistance
The emergency braking assistance system allows you, in an emergency, t o achieve the optimum braking pressure more quickly, thereby reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed of your action on the brake pedal, which reduces its resistance. To prolong this action of the emerg ency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot on the brake pedal.
If the parking brake is released, the lighting of this warning lamp along with the STOP warning l a m p i n d i c a t e s a n i n s u f fi c i e n t l e v e l o f b r a k e fl u i d o r a m a l f u n c t i o n o f t h e b r a k i n g d i s t r i b u t i o n .

The ESP system offers increased driving safety but is not in place to encourage the driver to take addi-tional risks or to drive at excessive speeds.
The functioning of this system is subject to compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations on wheels (tyres and rims), brake parts and electronic components, as well as with the assembly and repair procedures approved by CITROËN.repair procedures repair procedures
After any collision, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Traction Control (ASR)
These systems are closely associated with ABS and additional to it. In the event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESP system acts automatically on one or more wheels and also on the engine to bring the vehicle back on trajectory. The ASR system optimises traction and prevents wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels as well as on the engine. It also improves steering stability during acceleration.
Operation
If either of the ESP or ASR systems is active, the warning lamp fl a s h e s .
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, e tc.) it may prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin and thus regain traction.
Press on control A, the warning lamp and the light on control A light up. The ESP/ASR systems are no longer active.
The ERSP/ASR systems will activate again:Automatically after the ignition has been switched off.
Automatically when you drive at above approx. 50 km/h (approx. 30 mph).
Manually with another press on button A.
Operational anomaly
If there is a system fault, the warning lamp lights up, accompa nied by a message on the instrument panel screen, the lighting of the SERVICEwarning lamp and a beep.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.
