Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
After an impact, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Activation
This system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a
problem of grip.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.This is indicated by the flashing of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel.Operating fault
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Deactivation is via the Driving menu
of the touch screen.
It is confirmed by a message.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically every
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30
mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually.
Reactivation is via the Driving menu
of the touch screen.
It is confirmed by a message.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicate a fault with
the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems offer even greater
safety during normal driving but should
not encourage the driver to take
additional risks or drive at excessively
high speed.
It is when the traction conditions
deteriorate (rain, snow, ice) that the risk
of loss of grip increases. Therefore, for
your safety, it is essential to leave these
systems active in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
The operation of these systems
is assured on condition that the
manufacturer's recommendations
concerning the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the CITROËN network
fitting and repair procedures are
complied with.
To ensure the effectiveness of these
systems in winter conditions, it is
essential to fit the vehicle with four
snow tyres which will enable the vehicle
to maintain neutral handling.
