Warning lamp



is on



Cause



Action/Observations






Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS)


fixed. The anti-lock braking system has
a fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.





Dynamic stability
control
(ESP/ASR)


flashing. The ESP/ASR regulation is active. The system optimises traction and improves the
directional stability of the vehicle.

fixed. Unless it has been deactivated (button
pressed and its indicator lamp on), the
ESP/ASR or hill star t assist system
has a fault. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.


Engine
autodiagnosis
system


flashing. The engine management system has
a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic conver ter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

fixed. The emission control system has a
fault. The warning lamp should go off when the engine is star ted.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop without delay.






Low fuel level


fixed. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6 litres of
fuel
in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

Safety









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 (ESP)


Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
control (ESC)

The anti-slip 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 control 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.








Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on
snow: intelligent traction control.

This system detects 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, the intelligent traction
control
limits the amount of wheel slip 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 adhesion.
