qualified workshop.
Warning

Brake pad wear fixed, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message in the
display screen. The brake pads are at an advanced
state of wear.
Have the brake pads replaced by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Deactivation of
the automatic
functions of the
electric parking
brake
fixed.
The "automatic application" (on
switching off the engine) and
"automatic release" functions are
deactivated or faulty. Activate the function (depending on the country of
sale) via the vehicle parameters menu or contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop if automatic
application / release is no longer possible.
For more information on the Electric parking brake
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Under-inflation fixed. The pressure in one or more wheels
is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.

on one of the wheels. Under-inflation detection is not assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
Activation
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Your vehicle has a system to improve traction
on snow: intelligent traction control
.
This system detects situations of low adhesion
that might make moving off and progress
difficult on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations the intelligent traction
control system regulates the amount of wheel
slip to optimise the traction and trajectory
control of your vehicle.
For vehicles with Hydractive III + suspension,
manual adjustment of ground clearance to
the intermediate position improves further the
ability to make progress in deep snow (see the
relevant paragraph).
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces with low
adhesion.
