Driving safely
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC system automatically
acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Operating fault
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the LED come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Operation
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.
The warning lamp flashes when
operation of the ASR or DSC is
triggered.
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
Good practice
Deactivation
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR and DSC systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the
electronic components and fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration.

Press the button, located on
the centre console.
OFF
The LED comes on: the ASR
and DSC systems no longer
operate.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Use the DSC to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
They engage again:
