Driving safely
reactivation
Good practice
Load inertia control
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on.
The DSC and ASR systems offer exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
The true total weight of a commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on the load
carried. As a result, the centre of gravity of
the vehicle can move, both longitudinally
and in height.

The correct operation of these systems
depend on observation of the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and assembly
and repair procedures.
All such variations have an effect on braking,
traction, the behaviour of the vehicle when
cornering and the tendency to overturn.

with the ASR system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
This system then adapts the operation of
the DSC and ASR systems according to the
weight distribution in the vehicle. In critical
situations, your vehicle than remains more
securely on its intended trajectory.
