BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION
(EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or

The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there

When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by

it indicates that there is a
malfunction of the ABS, which
can cause a loss of control of the

Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a CITROËN

The indicator light comes on
accompanied by a message:
the ESP and ASR systems
no longer act on the engine
operation, but continue to act

The ASR/ESP systems offer
increased safety during normal
driving, but should not incite the
driver to take risks or to drive at high

The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations

If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the
ESP system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course, within the limits of the laws
