Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control programme
comprising the following systems:
The system's fault does not prevent the
vehicle from being driven.
If you purchased your vehicle outside the
CITROËN dealer network, we invite you to
have a dealer check the configuration of
these services and, if desired, modify it to
suit your wishes. In a multilingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice.

The list of countries covered and of
telematic services is available from dealers
or on the website for your country.
If you benefit from the Citroën Connect
Box offer with the SOS and assistance
pack included, there are additional
services available to you in your personal
space, via the website for your country.
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Geolocation
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.
Deactivate/reactivate geolocation by
simultaneously pressing buttons 1 and 2 and
then a single press of button 2 to confirm.

Safety
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
This system allows control of the vehicle to be
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid
the risk of snaking.
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.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
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.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Intelligent traction control
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
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).
system ("Snow motion")
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.
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.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Malfunction

This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of
a message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.
It is confirmed by the illumination of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel and the display of a message.
Deactivation
Reactivation
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
above 31 mph (50 km/h).
Below 31 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually.
Reactivate these systems as soon as the level
of grip permits.

Safety
ASR/DSC
Operating fault
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
These 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 these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
Should a fault occur with the system,
When towing, this system reduces the risk of
the vehicle or trailer swaying.
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control (ESC) must not
have any faults.
If the system detects oscillations (snaking) in
the movement of the trailer at speeds between
37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), it acts
on the brakes to stabilise the trailer and, if
necessary, reduces the engine power to slow
down the vehicle.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The correct operation of these
The trailer stability assist system offers
increased safety in normal driving,
provided that the recommendations on
towing a trailer are observed. It should not
encourage the driver to take risks, such
as towing a trailer in adverse operating
conditions (overloading, failure to observe
the trailer nose weight, worn or under-
inflated tyres, faulty braking system, etc.)
or drive at too high a speed.
In certain cases, snaking of the trailer
may not be detected by the ESC system,
particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces,
the system may not be able to prevent
sudden snaking of the trailer.
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding both the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
and the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
The correction is signalled by the
flashing of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel and illumination of
the brake lamps.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
To ensure complete safety while driving with
a Towbar device, refer to the corresponding
section.
