Operating fault
When the vehicle is stationar
y
The warning lamp comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switchedon (ON position). If it does not go off or does not come on, contact a CITROËNdealer or a qualified workshop. Fixed illumination o
f this warninglamp indicates a malfunction of the
wheel anti-lock braking system which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
When the vehicle is moving
Illumination of these twowarning lamps indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake force distributionwhich could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.

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 theresistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.

Trajectory control systems
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 this button button, located on the
dashboard to the right of the steeringwheel, until the corresponding symbol
appears in the instrument panel screen.
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 displa
y of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated automatically.
)Press this button again to reactivate themmanually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel indicates
the reactivation of the ASR and ESP 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 stability programme acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory requiredby the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, butthis should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these systems depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the assembly and repair procedures used by theCITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
The display of this message in the instrument panel indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP s
ystems checked.
