Energy consumption / generation indicator
Energy consumption
On switching on the ignition, your vehicle
neither consumes nor generates energy in its
electric traction system: the needle is in the
"neutral" position (provided that the heating and
air conditioning are off).
"Eco" zone
A system that informs the driver of the level of energy consumption or generation of the main battery.
"Neutral" position"Charge" zone
The needle moves to the right in proportion to
the energy consumption by the vehicle.The needle is in this zone when the vehicle is
used so as to moderate electric consumption
and optimise its range.
The needle moves to the left in proportion to
the level of charge sent to the main battery,
during period of deceleration and braking.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
Trajectory control systems
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems to regain grip.
F
Pr
ess this button button, located on
the dashboard (driver's side), until the
corresponding symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen.
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 display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated automatically.
F Pr
ess this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel indicates
the reactivation of the ASR and ESP systems.The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction to limit wheel spin,
by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme 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.
This is indicated by flashing of this
symbol in the instrument panel. The ASR /ESP systems should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures used by the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
The display of this message
in the instrument panel
indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
to have the ASR /ESP systems checked.
Excessive wheel spin may cause
damage to the differential of
your
v

ehicle.
