snow chains Citroen DS4 2010.5 1.G Owner's Manual

175Safety
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum braking pressure more quickly, 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 efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-skid regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. The electronic stability programme acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is star ted. They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction Control . This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow. In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control takes over from the ASR system, limiting the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control, even
without snow tyres and with or without chains. In extremely severe conditions (snow on top of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can be useful to
deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.

281Technical data

Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of yo ur vehicle.
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet. This number is engraved on the bodywork near the engine mounting.
B. Vehicle identification number on the dashboard. This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label. This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar.
Wheels which are fitted with 225/40 R18 tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains. For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once a month.
C. Manufacturer's label. The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label affixed to the driver's centre pillar.
It bears the following information: - the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden conditions, - the wheel rim and tyre sizes, - the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer, - the spare tyre inflation pressure, - the paint colour code.
