Safety
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of
the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as to
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of
getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to
ensure that these systems remain effective
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer swaying.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control (ESC) must not
have any faults.
If the system detects oscillations (snaking) in the
movement of the trailer at speeds between 35
and 100 mph (60 and 160 km/h), it acts on the
brakes to stabilise the trailer and, if necessary,
reduces the engine power to slow down the
vehicle.
The correction is signalled by the flashing of this indicator lamp in the instrument
panel and illumination of the brake lamps.
For information on the weights and towed loads,
refer to the "Technical data" section or the
registration certificate for your vehicle.
To ensure complete safety while driving with
a Towbar system, refer to the corresponding
section.
Operating fault
Should a fault occur with the system, this
warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system offers increased safety in normal driving,
provided that the recommendations on towing
a trailer are observed. It should not
encourage the driver to take risks, such as
towing a trailer in adverse operating
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.) or drive at
too high a speed.
In certain cases, snaking of the trailer may not
be detected by the ESC system, particularly
with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the
system may not be able to prevent sudden
snaking of the trailer.
Advanced Grip Control
(Depending on version)
A special, patented traction control system,
which improves driveability on snow, mud and
sand. This system, optimised for operation in a range
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most
slippery conditions (encountered during normal
passenger car use).
This system, which can be combined with all-
season M+S (Mud and Snow) tyres, offers a
compromise between safety, grip and driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to harness the
power of the engine. Operation at high engine
speeds is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on, accompanied by the display of a
message to confirm your choice.

Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message.
►

Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►

Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of the four tyres when cold.
►

If it is not possible to make this check
immediately

, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or
more wheels.


Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system is
reinitialised via the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen.
►

In this menu, select the "
Driving functions"
tab.
►

In the page, select the "

Under-inflation
initialisation " function.
