TheESP system offers increased
driving safety but is not in place toencourage the driver to take addi-
tional risks or to drive at excessivespeeds.
The operation of this s
ystem is
assured provided that the manufac-
turer’s recommendations concern-
ing the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking components and electricalcomponents are observed, as wellas the fi tting and repair proceduresused by CITROËN dealers andgpp
qualifi ed workshops.

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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, theESPsystem acts
automatically on one or more wheels and also on the engine to bring the
vehicle back on trajectory. The ASRsystem 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
When either the ESPor the ASR system is brought into operation
the warning lamp "ESP/ASR" fl ashes.
DEACTIVATION
In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, etc.) it mayprove useful to deactivate theESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels tospin and thus regain traction.
