This system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking under heavy braking or in conditions of poor road adherence.
It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The operating capacity of all the electrical components that are essential to the ABS system is checked by an electrical monitoring system before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp comes on when you switch on the ignition and should go out after a few seconds.
If the warning lamp does not go out, this means that the ABS has discon-nected as a result of a malfunction. Also, if the warning la mp lights up dur-ing a journey, it means that the ABS system is inactive. In eith er case, the normal braking system remains fully effective, as on a non-ABS vehicle.
However, to restore the safety associated with the correct operat ion of the ABS, the vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by a CITR OËN However, to restore the safety associated with the correct operation of the operation of the

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The ESP system offers increased driving safety but is not in place to encourage the driver to take addi-tional risks or to drive at excessive speeds.
The functioning of this system is subject to compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations on wheels (tyres and rims), brake parts and electronic components, as well as with CITROËN’s as-parts and electronic components, components,
sembly and repair procedures.
After any collision, have this system checked by a CITROËN dealer.After any collision, have this system , have t
Electronic stability programme (ESP) and traction control (ASR)
These systems are closely connected to the ABS and additional to it. In the event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESP system acts automatically on one or more brakes and also on the engine to bring the vehicle back on trajectory. The ASR system optimises traction and prevents wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels, as well as on the engine. It also improves steering stability during acceleration.
Operation :
When either the ESP or ASR system is in operation, the ESP/ASR warning l a m p fl a s h e s.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, e tc.) it may prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR system to allow the wheels to spin and thus regain traction.
- Press on control A, the ESP/ASR warning lamp and the control light up. The ESP/ASR systems are no longer active.
The ESP/ASR systems will activate again :
- Automatically after the ignition has been switched off.
- Automatically above a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph).
- Manually with a new press on control A.
Operational anomaly
If the systems malfunction, the ESP/ASR warning lamp comes on, ac-companied by a sound signal and a message on the multifunction display. Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.companied by a sound signal and a message on the multifunction by a sound
