BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking
in complete safety in emergency
situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).
When braking in an emergen-
cy, press very fi rmly without re-
leasing the pressure. The two warning lights comes on at
the same time and the two warnings
are displayed alternately on the
instrument panel display.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by the indication on the
instrument panel display, it indicates
a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
If these two warning lights come
on, linked with the warnings on the
instrument panel display, they indicate a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces. The warning light comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on (ON position). If it does not switch
off or does not come on, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning light comes
on continuously it indicates
a malfunction of the anti-lock
braking system which could
result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-
hicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
