Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (star ting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip. Press the "ESP OFF" button, located on the left below the steering wheel.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this indicates that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.

The correct functioning of these systems is assured provided that manufacturer's recommendations are obser ved on: - wheels (tyres and rims), - braking components, - electronic components, - assembly and repair procedures. After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
