BRAKES
ABS system
The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden brakingor 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 fewseconds.
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 during the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive.
In both cases, the normal braking system remains effi cient, exactly as on a vehicle without ABS. However, to restorethe level of safety provided by correct operation of the ABS, the vehicle should be inspected as soon as possible bya CITROÀN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.yp y p
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 required braking pressure more rapidly, thus toreduce the stopping distance. It operates depending on the speed of action on the brake pedal, decreasing theresistance to this action. To prolong this action of the emergency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
If the Electric Parking Brake is off, the lighting of this warning lamp in conjunction with theSTOPwarn-ing lamp indicates that the brake fl uid level is low or that the braking distributor is malfunctioning. It isessential to stop the vehicle. Alert a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop as soon as possible.gpgg
