The system's fault does not prevent the
vehicle from being driven.
Localised Assistance Call
** According to the geographic coverage of "Localised Emergency Call", "Localised
Assistance Call" and the official national
language chosen by the owner of the
vehicle. Press this button for more
than 2
seconds to request
assistance if the vehicle breaks
down.
A voice message confirms that the call has
been made**.
Immediately pressing this button again cancels
the request.
The cancellation is confirmed by a voice
message.
Geolocation
To reactivate geolocation, simultaneously press
the "Localised Emergency Call" and "Localised
Assistance Call" buttons again, followed by
a
press on "Localised Assistance Call" to
confirm.
If you purchased your vehicle outside the
CITROËN dealer network, we invite you to
have a
dealer check the configuration of
these ser vices and, if desired, modify it to
suit your wishes. In a
multilingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice. For technical reasons and, in particular, to
improve the quality of Telematic ser vices
to customers, the manufacturer reserves
the right to carry out updates to the
vehicle's on-board telematic system.
If the indicator lamp lights up continuously red:
there is a

system fault.
If the indicator lamp flashes red: replace the
back-up battery.
In either case, emergency and assistance calls
may not function.
Contact a

qualified repairer as soon as
possible. The list of countries covered and of Telematic
ser vices is available from dealers or on the
website for your country.
You can deactivate geolocation by
simultaneously pressing the "Localised
Emergency Call" and "Localised Assistance
Call" buttons, followed by pressing "Localised
Assistance Call" to confirm. If you benefit from the Citroën Connect
Box offer with the SOS and assistance
pack included, there are additional
ser vices available to you in your personal
space, via the website for your country.Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control integrating the
following systems:
-

a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).

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 in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD system 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 in relation 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
f ollowed 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.
Intelligent traction control
( " Snow motion ")
Depending on version, your vehicle has
a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor sur face
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
When lit up continuously, this
warning lamp indicates a fault with
the ABS.
If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, an audible signal
and a
message, it means that the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD) is defective.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by
a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly.
Safety

105
In emergency braking, press the brake
pedal hard and maintain this pressure.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
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 with grip or trajectory.
Deactivation of the ASR
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich 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. F

I
n the Driving
menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Deactivation is confirmed by the display of
a

message.
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Reactivation of the ASR
The system is reactivated automatically every
time the ignition is switched back on or from
31
mph (50 km/h).
Below 31
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
F

I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Operating fault
The illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a
message, indicates that
there is a
fault with these systems. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations, not
only about the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components but
also the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel. Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
