ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME
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.
Following an accident, have thesystem checked by a CITROËNg,
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.
Press on buttonA, the"ESP/ASR" warning lamp, as well as the lamp on
the buttonA, light up. TheESP/ASR systems are no longer active.
The ESP/ASR systems will activate again:Automatically after the ignition has been switched off.
Automatically when you drive at above approx. 30 mph (50 km/h).
Manuallywith another press on button A.
OPERATIONAL ANOMALY
Should there be a system malfunction, the "ESP/ASR"warning lamp willlight up.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have the systemchecked.

BRAKES
ABS system
The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden brakingor 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 switch on the ignition: it should go out after a fewseconds.
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 during the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive.
In both cases, the normal braking system remains effi cient, exactly as on a vehicle without ABS. However, to restorethe level of safety provided by correct operation of the ABS, the vehicle should be inspected as soon as possible bya CITROÀN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.yp y p
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 helps you to attain the required braking pressure more rapidly, thus
to reduce the stopping distance. It operates depending on the speed of action on the brake pedal, decreasing theresistance to this action. To prolong this action of the emergency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
If the Electric Parking Brake is off, the lighting of this warning lamp in conjunction with the STOPwarning lamp indicates that the brake fl uid level is low or that the braking distributor is malfunctioning.It is essential to stop the vehicle. Alert a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop as soon asgpgg
possible.
