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
