Trajectory Control Systems - CITROËN C-ZERO Handbook

Safety

Trajectory control systems

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction to limit wheel spin,
by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this
symbol 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 ASR and ESP systems to regain grip.
F Press this button button, located on the
dashboard to the right of the steering
wheel, until the corresponding symbol
appears in the instrument panel screen.
The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
Excessive wheel spin may damage your
vehicle's differential.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated automatically.
F Press this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESP
systems.
Operating fault
The display of this message in
the instrument panel indicates
a malfunction of these
systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR/ESP systems checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems 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 the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
