Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
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.
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.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
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.
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.
