Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, itindicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking system which could result in loss of control of the vehiclewhen braking.
I
f this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and ABSwarning lamps, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
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 brakepedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
When braking in an emergency, pressfirmly without releasing the pressure.
When replacing wheels (tyres andrims), ensure that they conform to themanufacturer's recommendations.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting 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 in
the centre of the dashboard.
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the
indicator lamp on the button comes
on
, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h). ) Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to
react
ivate them manually.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a messa
ge in the multifunction
screen, this indicates a malfunction
of these s
ystems.
Trajectory control systems
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 stabilit
y programme 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.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
This is indicated by flashing
of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
Activation
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 ESP/ASR systems offer exceptionalsafety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of thesesystems depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding wheels (tyres and rims), braking components, electroniccomponents and assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Have it checked b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
