This system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking under heavy braking or in conditions of poor road adherence.
It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The operating capacity of all the electrical components that are essential to the ABS system is checked by an electrical monitoring system before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp comes on when you switch on the ignition and should go out after a few seconds.
If the warning lamp does not go out, this means that the ABS has discon-nected as a result of a malfunction. Also, if the warning la mp lights up dur-ing a journey, it means that the ABS system is inactive. In eith er case, the normal braking system remains fully effective, as on a non-ABS vehicle.
However, to restore the safety associated with the correct operat ion of the ABS, the vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by a CITR OËN However, to restore the safety associated with the correct operation of the operation of the
