Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you   to   obtain   optimum   braking   in   complete  
s

afety   in   emergency   situations:
-
 
a
nti-lock   braking   system   (ABS),
-
 
e
lectronic   brake   force   distribution   (EBFD),
-
 
e
mergency   braking   assistance   (EBA).Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking,  
i

n   particular   on   poor   or   slippery   sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation   automatically   when   there   is   a   risk   of  
w

heel   lock.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make   itself  
f

elt   by   slight   vibration   of   the   brake   pedal.
When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
v

ery   firmly   without   releasing   the  
p

ressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, together   with   the   STOP  and   ABS
warning
  lamps,   accompanied   by   an  
a

udible
 
signal   and   a   message   in   the   screen,   it  
i

ndicates
 
a   malfunction   of   the   electronic   brake  
f

orce
 
distribution   which   could   result   in   loss   of  
c

ontrol
 
of
  the   vehicle   when   braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
When
  replacing   wheels   (tyres   and  
r

ims),   ensure   that   they   conform   to   the  
ma

nufacturer's
 r
ecommendations.

For
  more   information   on   child   seats,   refer   to  
t

he   corresponding   section.
In the event of an impact
depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning
  device   may   be   deployed  
b

efore   and   independently   of   the   airbags.  
D

eployment   of   the   pretensioners   is  
a

ccompanied   by   a   slight   discharge   of  
h

armless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due   to   the  
a

ctivation   of   the   pyrotechnic   cartridge  
i

ncorporated   in   the   system.
In
  all   cases,   the   airbag   warning   lamp  
c

omes   on.
Following
  an   impact,   have   the   seat   belts  
s

ystem

Safety

Towing with the gT RACIn g version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a t
owbar.   The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F

S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o

The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine
