traction control CITROEN DISPATCH SPACETOURER 2020 Handbook (in English)

Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system optimises traction in order to
avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of
the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle
on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Intelligent traction control
If you vehicle has this function, it features a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS. Illumination of this warning lamp,
coupled with the STOP
and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal, signals that there is a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Safety

112
ASR / DSC
T hese systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.Advanced Grip Control
Special patented traction control system which
improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, whose operation has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during passenger vehicle use).
Associated with all-seasons Peak Mountain
Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a
compromise between safety, adhesion and
traction.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on, accompanied by the display of a
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level
of wheel spin, based on the different
levels of grip normally encountered on
the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered for each
of the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
Safety

148
If P is displayed on the instrument panel
but the selector is in another position,
place the selector in position P to allow
the engine to be started.
If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle,
then select position D to accelerate.
When the engine is running at idle with the
brakes released, if position R, D or M is
selected, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsuper vised inside
the vehicle.
As a safety measure, never leave the
vehicle without taking your key or remote
control with you, even for a short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P .
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic
changing of the gears. Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
It is possible to temporarily take control of gear
changes using the "
+" and " -" steering mounted
controls. The gear change instruction is acted
on if the engine speed permits.
This function allows certain situations to be
anticipated, such as overtaking a vehicle or
approaching a bend.
After a few moments with no action on the
controls, the gearbox returns to automatic
operation.
Self-sufficient traction
(moving without using the
accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves


as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any inter vention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the driving style, the
road profile and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the selector, press the
accelerator fully down (kick-down).
The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear
selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If the accelerator pedal is sharply released, the
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety
reasons.
