You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
When braking in an emergency, press  
very firmly without releasing the  
pressure.  
When replacing wheels (tyres and  
rims), ensure that they conform to the  
manufacturer's recommendations.

Trajectory control systems  
Emergency braking assistance Anti-slip regulation (ASR)  
and dynamic stability  
control (dSC)  
System which, in an emergency, enables you  
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more  
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.  
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction  
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding  
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the  
driving wheels and on the engine.  
The electronic stability control acts on the  
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine  
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required  
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of  
physics.  
Activation  
These systems are activated automatically  
each time the vehicle is started.  
They come into operation in the event of a grip  
or trajectory problem.  
Activation  
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake  
pedal is pressed.  
The effect of this is a reduction in the  
resistance of the pedal and an increase in  
braking efficiency.  
This is indicated by flashing of this  
warning lamp in the instrument panel.  
When braking in an emergency, press  
firmly without releasing the pressure.
