Driving safely
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
Thesesystemsarelinkedand
complementtheABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
onacceleration.
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.
Use the DSC to hold your course
withoutattemptingtocountersteer.
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.
Deactivation
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.
Operating fault
Good practice
TheASR/DSCsystemsofferincreased
safety during normal driving, but
shouldnotincitethedrivertotakerisks
ortodriveathighspeed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
brakingcomponents,theelectronic
componentsandthettingandrepair
proceduresareobserved.
After an impact, have these systems
checkedbyaCITROËNdealerora
qualiedworkshop.
Operation
Thewarninglampashes
when operation of the ASR or
DSCistriggered.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph
(50km/h),
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.
- Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
- TheLEDcomeson:theASRand
DSC systems no longer come into
play.
- manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(dependingonmodel).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualiedworkshoptohavethesystem
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
thetyresareunder-inated.Checkthe
pressureofeachtyre.
