Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-

e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD).
Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
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 vehicle 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.
Operating fault
When the vehicle is stationary
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
the indication on the instrument panel screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
The vehicle retains normal braking.
Drive carefully at moderate speed and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. The warning lamp 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 or a qualified workshop.
