ABS system
The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden braking or in conditions of poor road adherence. It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The functioning capability of all the electrical components essential to the ABS is monitored electronically before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp lights up when you switch on the ignition: it should go out after a few seconds.
If the monitoring warning lamp does not go out, that means that the ABS has disconnected because there is a fault. Also, the fact that the monitoring warning lamp comes on durin g the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive. In both cases, the normal braking system remains effi cient, exactly a s on a vehicle without ABS. However, in order for the security associated with the correct functioning of the ABS to be restored, the vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by a CITROËN dealer.for the security associated with the correct associated with the
On roads with poor adherence (chippings, snow, ice etc.), it is always imperative to drive with prudence.
SYSTEM OF EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
The emergency braking assistance system helps you to attain the requ ired braking pressure more rapidly, thus to reduce the stopping distance. It operates as a function of the speed of action on the brake pedal, decreasing the resistance to this action. To prolong this action of the emerg ency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot on the brake pedal.
If the Electronic Parking Brake is off, the lighting of this wa rning lamp in conjunction with the STOP warning lamp indicates that the brake fl uid level is low or that the braking distributor is mal-functioning. It is essential to stop the vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible. warning lamp indicates that the brake fl uid level is low o r that the braking distributor is mal- warning lamp indicates that the brake fl uid level is low or that the braking distributor is mal-
