Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
Thesesystemsareactivatedautomatically
eachtimethevehicleisstarted.
Assoonastheydetectaproblemofgripor
trajectory,thesesystemsactontheoperationif
theengineandbrakes.
Deactivation
Inexceptionalconditions(startingavehicle
whichisboggeddown,stuckinsnow,onsoft
ground...),itmaybeadvisabletodeactivate
theDSCandASR,sothatthewheelscanturn
freelyandregaingrip.
Thisisindicatedbyflashingofthis
warninglampintheinstrumentpanel.
Reactivatethesystemsassoonasthelevelof
grippermits.
F Pressthisbutton.
Thisindicatorlampandtheindicator
lampinthebuttoncomeon.
TheDSCandASRsystemsnolongeract
ontheoperationoftheengineandonthe
brakesintheeventofainvoluntarychangeof
trajectory.
DSC/ASR
TheDSCandASRsystemsofferincreased
safetyinnormaldriving,buttheyshouldnot
encouragethedrivertotakeextrarisksordrive
athighspeed.
Itisinconditionsofreducedgrip(rain,snow,
ice)thattheriskoflossofgripincreases.
Itisthereforeimportantforyoursafetyto
keeptheDSCandASRsystemsactivated
inallconditions,andparticularlyindifficult
conditions.
Thecorrectoperationofthesesystems
dependsonobservationofthemanufacturer's
recommendationsregardingasmuchthe
wheels(tyresandrims),brakingandelectronic
componentsastheassemblyandrepair
proceduresusedbyCITROËNdealers.
Tobenefitinfullfromtheeffectivenessofthe
DSCandASRsystemsinwintryconditions,
thevehiclemustbefittedwithfoursnow
tyres,allowingthethevehicletoretainneutral
behaviourontheroad.
