Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
TheDSCsystemoffersexceptional
safetyinnormaldriving,butthisshould
notencouragethedrivertotakeextra
risksordriveathighspeed.
Thecorrectoperationofthesystem
depends on observation of the
manufacturer'srecommendations
regardingthewheels(tyresandrims),
thebrakingcomponents,theelectronic
componentsandtheassemblyand
repair procedures used by CITROËN
dealers.
Afteranimpact,havethesystem
checkedbyaCITROËNdealerora
qualifiedworkshop.

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system,sothatthewheelscanmove
freelyandregaingrip.
Thisisindicatedbyflashingofthis
