Electronic stability
Programme (EsP) and
Traction Control (asr)
These systems are closely associ-
ated with ABs and additional to it.
In the event of a loss of control of
the vehicle by the driver, the EsP
system acts automatically on one
or more wheels and also on the
engine to bring the vehicle back on
trajectory. The asr system opti-
mises traction and prevents wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels as well as on the
engine. It also improves steering
stability during acceleration.

Operation
If either of the EsP or
asr systems is active, the
warning lamp flashes.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (vehicle
stuck in snow, soft ground, etc.)
it may prove useful to deactivate
the EsP/asr systems to allow
the wheels to spin and thus regain
traction.
Press on control a, the warning
lamp and the light on control a
light up. The EsP/asr systems
are no longer active.
The EsP/asr systems will acti-
vate again:
•
automatically after the igni-
tion has been switched off.
•
automatically when you drive
at above approx. 50 km/h
(approx. 30 mph).
•
manually with another press
on button a.
Operational anomaly
If there is a system fault, the warn-
ing lamp lights up, accompanied
by a message on the instrument
panel screen, the lighting of the
sErviCE warning lamp and a
beep.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked.
The EsP system offers increased
driving safety but is not in place to
encourage the driver to take addi-
tional risks or to drive at excessive
speeds.
The functioning of this system is
subject to compliance with the
manufacturer's recommendations
on wheels (tyres and rims), brake
parts and electronic components,
as well as with the assembly and
repair
procedures
approved
CITROËN.
After
any
collision,
contact
CITROËN dealer.

Questions and answers
how do you fit a new headlight washer
There is no specific guide for fitting a new headlight washer on a Citroën C5. However, the process may involve trial and error. You might be able to access the washer by removing the wheel and splash shield from the wheel arch. On the driver's side, the suspension tank and power steering components may be in the way. The washer ram (part number 6438P1) is the same for both sides, but the jets at the end have different part numbers.
