Hazard warning lamps
Press the button, the direction indicators flash. They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic operation of

Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
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. In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud, ...), when it proves impossible to move off, it may be useful to temporarily deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin freely and so allow movement of the vehicle.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved for your vehicle. Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
When this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.

Dynamic stability control (DSC) and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started. As soon as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory, these systems act on the operation if the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp and the lamp in the deactivation button, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, indicate a fault with the system.
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h). Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate them manually:
 Press this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on. The DSC and ASR systems no longer act on the operation of the engine and on the brakes in the event of a involuntary change of trajectory.
 Press this button again. Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
