Operating fault
The DSC/ASR systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driving, but
this 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 on:
-
w

heels (tyres and rims),
-
b

raking components,
-
el

ectronic components,
-
a

ssembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Illumination of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel and the lamp in the
button, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
