SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

The ESP system offers increased

driving safety but is not in place to

encourage the driver to take addi-

tional risks or to drive at excessive

speeds.

The functioning of this system is sub-

ject to compliance with the manufac-

turer’s recommendations on wheels

(tyres and rims), brake parts and elec-

tronic components, as well as with

CITROËN’s assembly and repair pro-

cedures.

After any collision, have this system

checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Electronic Stability Programme

(ESP) and Traction Control (ASR)

These systems are closely con-

nected to the ABS and additional

to it. Where a difference is detected

between the trajectory followed by

the vehicle and that wanted by the

driver, the ESP system acts au-

tomatically on the brake of one or

more wheels to return the vehicle to

the trajectory wanted, within the lim-

its of the laws of physics. The ASR

system optimises traction and pre-

vents wheel spin by acting on the

brakes of the driving wheels. It also

improves steering stability during

acceleration.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY

PROGRAMMES

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (vehicle

stuck in snow, soft ground, etc.) it

may prove useful to deactivate the

ESP/ASR system to allow the wheels

to spin and thus regain traction.

Press on control A, the ESP/ASR

warning lamp and the control light

up. The ESP/ASR systems are no

longer active.

The ESP/ASR systems will activate

again:

- Automatically

after the ignition

has been switched off.

- Automatically

when you drive at

above approx. 30 mph.

- Manually

with another press on

control A.

Operational anomaly

If there is a system malfunction, the

ESP/ASR warning lamp comes on.

Contact CITROËN to have the sys-

tem checked.

Operation

When either the ESP or ASR sys-

tem is brought into operation,

the ESP/ASR warning lamp ashes.
