Intelligent Traction Control System ("Snow Motion"); Emergency Braking Assistance (Eba); Anti-Slip Regulation (Asr); Dynamic Stability Control (Dsc) - CITROEN C5 AIRCROSS Handbook

Safety
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

This system optimises traction in order to
avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of
the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle
on acceleration.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Trailer stability assist (TSA)
This system allows control of the vehicle to be
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid
the risk of snaking.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
coupled with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible
signal, signals that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Depending on version, your vehicle has
a system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor surface
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
