Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power
steering, this warning lamp flashes in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Switching off
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the space is too great, the
system may not be able to measure the
space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope
of the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for
example) is not taken into account by the
Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road
dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a
manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate
it to repeat the measurement. In the event of a fault, this warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the fault occurs during the use
of the system, the warning lamp
goes

off. High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.

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 improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
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.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system (also known as Traction Control)
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, the DSC 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.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem of grip or trajectory.
Deactivation of the ASR
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, so that the wheels can turn freely and
regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
F
I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Deactivation is confirmed by a message.
The ASR system will no longer act on the
operation of the engine or on the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.Operating fault Reactivation of the ASR
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:
F

I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicates a fault with
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems offer even greater
safety during normal driving, but they
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at excessive speed.
When traction deteriorates (rain, snow,
ice), the risks of loss of grip increase.
Therefore, for your safety, it is essential
that these systems are left active in all
conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The operation of these systems
is assured provided 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 that the vehicle is fitted with
four snow tyres which will enable the
vehicle to retain neutral handling.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
