power of the engine. Operation at high engine

Operation

The system is activated automatically when the

ignition is switched on.

The electronic stability control system (ESC)

must not have any faults.

The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99

mph (60 and 160 km/h).

If the system detects that the trailer is

snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise

the trailer and reduces engine power, if

necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the

ﬂashing of this warning lamp on the instrument

panel and the brake lamps coming on).

For information on weights and towed loads,

refer to the Engine technical data and towed

loads section or your vehicle’s registration

current legislation in force in your country. It

must not encourage the driver to take extra

risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable

conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load,

exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inﬂated

tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at

excessive speed.

In certain cases, the system may not detect

trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.

When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the

system may not be able to prevent sudden

trailer snaking.

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.

Operating modes

Advanced Grip Control

(Depending on version)

A special, patented traction control system,

which improves driveability on snow, mud and

sand.

To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,

refer to the corresponding section.

This system, optimised for operation in a range

of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most

slippery conditions (encountered during normal

passenger car use).

When combined with all-season Peak Mountain

Snow Flake tyres, this system oﬀers a

compromise between safety, grip and driveability.

When combined with suitable tyres, this system

oﬀers a compromise between safety, grip and

driveability.

Malfunction

If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights

up on the instrument panel, accompanied

by a message and an audible signal.

To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and

drive carefully!

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.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

Whenever the ignition is switched oﬀ, the

system automatically resets to this mode.

The trailer stability control system

provides an extra safety feature under

normal driving conditions, when following the

recommendations for use of trailers and

The accelerator pedal should be pressed

suﬃciently to allow the system to harness the

Safety

Snow

The ASR and DSC systems will no

longer act on the operation of the engine

or of the brakes in the event of a change of

trajectory.

During a descent, the system assists the driver

in maintaining a constant speed, depending on

the gear engaged, while progressively releasing

the brakes.

This mode adapts its strategy to the

conditions of grip encountered for each of

the two front wheels on moving oﬀ.

These systems are reactivated automatically

from 31 mph (50 km/h) and whenever the

ignition is switched on.

(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))

For the system to activate, the gradient

must be greater than 5%.

The system can be used with the gearbox in

neutral.

Otherwise, engage a gear corresponding to

the speed to prevent the engine stalling.

With an automatic gearbox, the system can

be used with the selector at N, D or R.

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.

Recommendations

Your vehicle is designed principally to

drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to

occasionally drive on other less passable

terrain.

However, it does not permit oﬀ-road driving

such as:

– crossing and driving on terrain which

could damage the underbody or strip away

components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due

to obstacles or stones in particular,

– driving on terrain with steep gradients and

poor grip,

When the system is regulating, the Active

Safety Brake system is automatically

deactivated.

(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))

The system is no longer available if the

speed of the vehicle is:

– above 43 mph (70 km/h).

– managed by the Adaptive cruise control,

depending on the type of gearbox.

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.

– crossing a stream.

(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))

Hill Assist Descent

Control

Switching on

By default, the system is not selected.

The state of the function is not saved when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

Do not use the other modes on sand as

the vehicle may become stuck.

Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to

steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces

(e.g. gravel, mud).

Deactivation

You can deactivate the ASR and DSC

systems by turning the knob to the "OFF"

position.

This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of

control of the vehicle when descending, whether

going forward or in reverse.
