Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
T he under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the vigilance or the
r
esponsibility of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
mpairs road holding, extends braking
d
istances and causes premature
t
yre wear, particularly under arduous
condition
(high loading, high speed,
lon
g
jo
urney).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
label.
See
the "Identification markings"
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.
The
system monitors the pressures in the four
t
yres, once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
more tyres.
Page 153 of 376
151
DS3_en_Chap08_securite_ed01-2014
The alert is maintained until the system is r einitialised.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
cause
visible
bulging
of
the
tyre.
D
o
not
satisfy
yourself
with
just
a
visual
c
heck. Before
reinitialising the system, ensure
t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line
with the recommendations on the
t
yre pressure label.
The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not give a warning if a pressure is
i
ncorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by

Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum braking in complete
s
afety in emergency situations:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-
e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
e
mergency braking assistance (EBA).Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
i
n particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of
w
heel lock.
Normal
operation of the ABS may make itself
f
elt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When
braking in an emergency, press
v
ery firmly without releasing the
p
ressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, together with the STOP and ABS
warning
lamps, accompanied by an
a
udible
signal and a message in the screen, it
i
ndicates
a malfunction of the electronic brake
f
orce distribution which could result in loss of
control
of
the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
When
replacing wheels (tyres and
r
ims), ensure that they conform to the
ma
nufacturer's
r
ecommendations.
If
this warning lamp comes on,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal
a
nd a message in the screen, it
i
ndicates
a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
s
ystem
which could result in loss of control of
t
he
vehicle when braking.
In either case, contact a CITR
oË
N dealer or a
qualified
w
orkshop.

DS3_en_Chap08_securite_ed01-2014
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
q
uickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking
e
fficiency.
When
braking in an emergency, press
f
irmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
o
f the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
d
riving wheels and on the engine.
The
electronic stability programme acts on the
b
rake of one or more wheels and on the engine
t
o keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
b
y the driver, within the limits of the laws of
p
hysics.Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They
come into operation in the event of a grip
o
r
t
rajectory
pro
blem.
This
is indicated by flashing of this
w
arning lamp in the instrument panel.

deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft

Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are stationary or moving in the same direction as
y
our vehicle.
It
does not detect small vehicles
(
bicycles, motorcycles), pedestrians or
a
nimals, nor non-reflective stationary
ob
jects. In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy
rain, snow, fog, hail...), braking
d
istances increase, which can reduce
the
ability of the system to avoid a
c
ollision.
The
driver must therefore remain
par
ticularly
v
igilant.
Never
leave accumulations of snow or
a
ny object projecting above the bonnet
o
r in front of the roof: this might fall into
t
he field of vision of the sensor and
generate
a detection.
The
system is not triggered or is interrupted if t
he d river:
-
a
ccelerates strongly
-
o
r turns the steering wheel suddenly
(
avoiding
m
anoeuvre).
