Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.
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 according 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 the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system (also known as Traction Control)
optimises traction in order to limit 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, the DSC 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.
Safety

231
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS. Depending on version, your vehicle has 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 adhesion.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are approved
for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.

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
function " 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
function " 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.
