Braking assistance systems Group of supplementary systems which helpyou to obtain optimum braking in complete safet
y in emer
genc
y situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS), - electronic brake
force distribution
(EBFD
),
- emer
genc
y brakin
g assistance
(EBA
).

Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force di
str

Linked systems w
hich improve t
he sta
bility an
d
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS ma
y make itself
felt b
y slight vibration o
f the brake pedal.
When brakin

function
o
f the electronic brake

could result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking. You must sto

When replacing wheels (tyres andrims), ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's reco
mm
endations.

, it indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system which could result in loss
of control of the vehicle when brakin

In either case, contact a CITRO
ËN dealer.

131Safety
Emergency braking ass
istance

System which, in an emergency, enables you to o
btain the opt
imum
braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is presse
d.

The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.

When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems Anti-skid regulation (A
SR)
and e
lectron
ic sta
bili
ty
programme (E
SP)
The anti-skid re
gulation
(also known as
Traction Control
) optimises traction to prevent
skiddin
g of the wheels, b
y actin
g on the brakes
o
f the drivin
g wheels and on the en
gine.
The e
lectron
ic sta
bility pro
gramme acts on t
he
brake o
f one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws o
f
physics.
Activat
ion
These s
ystems are act

each time t
he ve

They come into operation in the event o
f a grip
or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warnin
g lamp on the instrument panel.
