Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards better control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Traction control (TRC)
This system optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Safety

106
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Operation
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS system, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)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 vibration of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the

pressure.
Yo u must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and traction control (TRC)
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.
Activation of the DSC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Activation of the TRC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
Drive carefully at reduced speed, and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Safety

108
Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance system that aims to avoid a frontal collision or reduce the speed of an impact if the driver does not react or
reacts too late (brake application too late).This system is designed to improve
driving safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic and to assess the distances and
relative speeds of other vehicles.
Active City Brake can in no
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope...) at a distance of less than
10 centimetres: risk of eye injury.
Automatic braking occurs later than if
done by the driver, so as to intervene
only when there is a high risk of
collision.
Principle
Using a laser sensor and a camera located at
the top of the windscreen, this system detects
a vehicle running in the same direction or
stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking system
is operated automatically to reduce the speed
of impact or to help avoid a collision with the
vehicle ahead.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following
conditions are met:
●
t
he engine is running,
●

t
he vehicle is in a for ward gear,
●

t
he speed is between 9 and 87 mph
(15
and 140 km/h) for triggering the alert ;
the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 9
mph (15 km/h),
●

t
he speed is between about 18 and 50 mph
(30 and 80 km/h) for braking assistance ;
the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 18 mph (30 km/h),
●

t
he speed is between about 6 and 50 mph
(10 and 80 km/h) for automatic braking ;
the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one ahead is more than
about 6 mph (10 km/h),
●

t
he braking assistance systems (ABS,
EBFD, EBA) are not faulty,
●

t
he trajectory control systems (TRC, DSC)
are not deactivated or faulty,
●

t
he vehicle is not in a tight corner,
●

t
he system has not been triggered during
the previous 10 seconds.
