SAFETY
104 The ASC/TCL systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these sys-
tems depends on observation of the
manufacturer’s recommendations 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
qualifi ed workshop.


Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be
better to deactivate the ASC system, so
that the wheels can move freely and re-
gain grip.


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


)
Press the "ASC OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.
Switching off of the symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel
screen indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.

Operating fault
The display of this message
in the instrument panel
screen indicates a malfunc-
tion of these systems.
Contact a CITROËN deal-
er or a qualifi ed workshop 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).

Traction control and automatic
stability control
Traction control optimises traction to
prevent wheel spin, by acting on the
brakes of the driving wheels and on the
engine.
Automatic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the tra-
jectory 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
screen.



Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:


- traction control (TCL),

- automatic stability control (ASC).
