Safety
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using
engine braking and by applying the brakes on
the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It
also enhances the vehicle's directional stability
while accelerating.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme
includes the following systems:
The normal operation of the ABS may
result in slight vibrations in the brake
pedal.
– Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD).
– Emergency braking assistance (EBA).
– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
– Dynamic stability control (DSC).
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and Electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit together with
the STOP and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by a message and an audible
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
This warning lamp on the instrument
panel flashes to indicate that they are
operating.
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 braking efficiency.
Deactivation / Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck
in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground,
etc.), it may be useful to deactivate the ASR
system to freely spin the wheels and regain
traction.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
