2014 Citroen DS4 traction control

Warning/indicator lampis on Cause Action/Observations
Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) fixed.
The anti-lock braking system has
a fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.

fixed. The emission control system has a
fault.
The warning lamp should go off when the engine is started.If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop without delay.
Low fuel level fixed, accompanied by
and audible signal and
a message. When it first comes on there remains
approximately
6 litres of fuel in the
tank.
At this point, you begin to use the fuel
reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp will
come on every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message.
This audible signal and message are repeated
with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
towards
"

0".
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres .
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel,
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.

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 the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (
d
SC)
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 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 automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control .
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of adhesion.
