Dynamic stability control
(ESP/ASR)
The ESP/ASR system is put
into service automatically
when the vehicle is started.
Unless the system has been de-
activated, if this warning lamp and
the indicator lamp on the button
come on continuously, this indi-
cates the occurrence of a fault in the
ESP/ASR system or in the hill start
assistance. Engine autodiagnostics system
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
the engine management
system.

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
the anti-lock braking system.
However, this does not prevent op-
eration of the vehicle’s servo-assisted
braking system.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems
which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emer-
gency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribu-tion (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular
on poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibration of
the brake pedal. Operating fault
When braking in an emergency,

the pressure. If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multi-function screen,
it indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system which could re-
sult in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the STOP
and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by an audi-
ble signal and a message on the
multifunction screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake
force distribution which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions. Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency,
enables you to obtain the optimum
braking pressure more quickly, thus
reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in
the resistance of the pedal and an
