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.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.

braking.

do

so. F

f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.
F

immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

peed limit sticker.
Composition of the kit
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the
driver's field of vision, to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.
Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair
of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
Temporary puncture repair kit
Access to the kit
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.
Tyre under-inflation detection
After repair of the tyre, the warning
lamp will remain on until the system is
reinitialised.
For more information on Under-
inflation detection , refer to the
corresponding section.

workshop for assistance.
F S tart the compressor by placing the switch
at the " I" position and leave it running until
the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bar.
T

he sealant product is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe
from the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing and stains). Take care, the sealant product is
harmful if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date is marked on the
cartridge.
After use, do not discard the
cartridge by the roadside, take it to
a CITROËN
dealer or an authorised
waste disposal site.
Don't forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
