Driving safely
SAFETY
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAMME (ESP)
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration.
Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer. If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically
acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
In certain exceptional conditions (when
starting a vehicle stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR system to make the
wheels spin and regain grip.

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The LED flashes when the ASR
or ESP is triggered. Press this button.
The LED on the button comes on: the ASR
system no longer acts on the engine
operation, but continues to act on the brakes.
Operating fault

When a malfunction of the ASR
system occurs, this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the screen.

Driving safely

When a malfunction of the ESP
system occurs, this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.


Good practice

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN network are
observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer. Intelligent Traction Control

System to improve traction on slippery
surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...)
This system checks for situations of difficult
surface adhesion that could make it difficult
to move off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control
takes over from the ASR
system,
by transferring drive to the wheel with the
best grip on the ground to provide the best
traction and trajectory control.
Activation
On starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
Press the button, located on the dashboard,
to activate the system; the warning lamp in
the button comes on.
The system is active up to about 18 mph
(30 km/h).
Once the speed exceed 18 mph (30 km/h),
the system is deactivated automatically, but
the warning lamp in the button comes on.
The system is reactivated automatically
as soon as the speed drops below 18 mph
(30 km/h).

Checks


CHECKS
Air filter and passenger compartment filter

A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may
reduce the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours. The
replacement intervals for these components
are indicated in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as often
if necessary, refer to the "Under the bonnet"
section of chapter 7.


Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

Bleeding the water contained in
the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Leave open until
all of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer.

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status

For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.


Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.

Changing a wheel



- If a pressure of at least 3 bars
is not
reached within 5 minutes, disconnect
the compressor from the valve and the
power socket, then move the vehicle
forward by approximately 10 metres to
distribute the sealant fluid inside the
tyre.

- Then repeat the inflating operation:


●
if a pressure of at least 3 bars
is not
reached within 10 minutes, switch off
your vehicle: the tyre has suffered too
much damage and repair has not been
possible. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

●
if the tyre has been inflated to a
pressure of 4 bars
, set off again
immediately.

After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the pressure of the tyre
again.
Adjust the pressure if necessary and contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Checking and adjusting the pressure

The compressor can only be used to check
and adjust the pressure.


- Disconnect the hose I
and connect it to
the tyre valve directly; the cartridge will
then be connected to the compressor
and the filling fluid will not be injected.
If it is necessary to deflate the tyre, connect
the hose I
to the tyre valve and press the
yellow button, placed in the centre of the
switch on the compressor.


Replacing the sealant fluidcartridge

To replace the cartridge, carry out the
following operations:


- disconnect the hose I
,

- turn the cartridge to be replaced
anticlockwise and lift it,

- insert the new cartridge and turn it
clockwise,

- reconnect the hose I
and connect the
hose B
in its location.


The cartridge contains ethylene-glycol,
a product which is harmful if swallowed
and which causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the cartridge in the
environment, take it to a CITROËN dealer or to
an organisation responsible for its collection.
This replacement kit is available from
CITROËN dealers.
