The ASC/TCL systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
CITRÖEN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITRÖEN dealer.
Disarming
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, etc.), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.

 Press the “ASC OFF” button, locat-
ed to the right of the steering wheel,
until the ASC OFF symbol appears
on the instrument panel display.
The displaying of this symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel dis-
play indicates that the ASC and TCL
systems are disarmed. Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-
tomatically above 30 mph (50 km/h).

 Press the “ASC OFF” button again
to reactivate them manually.
The switching off of the symbol in the
top right corner of the instrument panel
display indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.
Operating fault
The displaying of this mes-
sage on the instrument
panel display indicates a
malfunction of these sys-
tems.
Contact a CITRÖEN dealer to have the
ASC/TCL systems checked.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is
higher than 10 mph (15 km/h).
Anti-skid regulation and
electronic stability programme
The anti-skid regulation optimises trac-
tion 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.
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this symbol on the instrument panel dis-
play.
Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:
- the anti-skid regulation (TCL),
- the electronic stability programme (ASC).

“CVT” GEARBOX
The six-speed automatic gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort of
automatic regulation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
This gearbox enables you to access
two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox
and therefore without any action on
the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver
using the steering wheel controls or
the gear lever.
It consists of the following controls:
- a gear lever 1 on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, re-
verse gear and neutral or for chang-
ing gear in sequential mode,
