50Safety














Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and electronic
stability programme (ESP)


Operating check
Operation of the ASR and ESP
s
ystems
When one of these two systems is
operating, this warning lamp comes on.
If a fault occurs with the s
ystems, this
warning lamp comes on.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop to have thesystems checked.
These systems are linked and supplement the
ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine. It also allows
the directional stability of the vehicle to be
improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the ESP system automatically acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on theengine to put the vehicle back on course, within
the limits of the laws of physics.
The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety during normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive athigh speed. Correct operation of these systemsdepends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims), thebraking components and the electronic components as well as the repair procedures use by a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop.
After an impact, have these systemschecked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
