Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem of grip or trajectory.
Deactivation of the ASR
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and
regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
F
I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Deactivation is confirmed by a message.
The ASR system will no longer act on the
operation of the engine or on the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.Operating fault Reactivation of the ASR
The system is reactivated automatically every
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
F
I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicates a fault with
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems offer even greater
safety during normal driving, but they
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at excessive speed.
When traction deteriorates (rain, snow,
ice), the risks of loss of grip increase.
Therefore, for your safety, it is essential
that these systems are left active in all
conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The operation of these systems
is assured provided that the
manufacturer's recommendations
concerning the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the CITROËN
network
fitting and repair procedures are
complied with.
To ensure the effectiveness of these
systems in winter conditions, it is
essential that the vehicle is fitted with
four snow tyres which will enable the
vehicle to retain neutral handling.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Use only chains designed to be fitted the type
of wheel on your vehicle:
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking. The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F
F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised. Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.

This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.This kit consists of a compressor and a sealant cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair
of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread or
shoulder.
Its compressor can be used to check and adjust the pressure of the tyre.
Temporary puncture repair kit
Access to the kit
Depending on version, the kit is stowed under
the front passenger's seat or in the storage box
under the second row footwell.

to remind you that a wheel is in
temporary use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80
km/h) when driving with a tyre
