Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, it
in
dicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking system which couldresult in loss of control of the vehicle
when 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 brake
pedal is pressed.
Th
e effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase inbraking 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 softground...), 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 automaticallyeach time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h). ) Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to
reactivate them manually.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the multifunction
screen, this indicates a malfunction
of these s
ystems.
Trajectory control systems
The anti-slip regulation (also known as TractionControl) 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 bythe 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 theinstrument 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 these systems depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding wheels (tyres and rims), braking components, electronic components 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.

Wheel with trim
When removing the wheel
, firstdetach the trim using the wheelbrace 1pulling at the valve passage hole. When refitting the wheel
, refit the trimstarting by placing its notch facing thevalve and press around its edge withthe palm of your hand.
Access to the spare wheel
The spare wheel is installed in the boot under
the floor.
According to country, the spare wheel may be
steel or of the "space-saver" type.
For access to it, refer to the paragraph "Access
to tools" on the previous page.
Fitting the steel or "space-saver" type spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,it is normal to notice, when tightening the bolts on fitting, that the washers donot come into contact with the steel or "space-saver" type spare wheel. Thewheel is secured by the conical contactof each bolt.
