by an audible signal
and a message.

The ESP/ASR or hill start
assist system has a fault. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.



Power steering
fi xed. The power steering has a
fault. Drive carefully at reduced speed.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.





Under-infl ation


fi xed. 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.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS (ESP)

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability control (ESC)

The anti-slip regulation (also known as
traction control) optimises traction to pre-
vent 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.

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.








Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving
on snow: intelligent traction control.
This system detects situations of diffi -
cult surface adhesion that could make it
diffi cult to move off or make progress on
deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent trac-
tion control
limits the amount of wheel
slip to provide the best traction and tra-
jectory control for your vehicle.
In extremely severe conditions (deep
snow, mud, ...), when it proves impossible
to move off, it may be useful to temporar-
ily deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to al-
low the wheels to spin freely and so allow
movement of the vehicle.

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), if you are un-
able to make progress, it may be ad-
visable to temporarily deactivate these
systems, so that the wheels can spin
freely and allow the vehicle to move.



Press the "ESP OFF"
button, locat-
ed near the steering wheel.
If the indicator lamp in the button comes
on, this indicates that these systems
are deactivated.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on surfaces of-
fering low levels of adhesion.

It is recommended that the systems be
reactivated as soon as possible.
