Safety
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction Control. This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult surface adhesion thatcould make it difficult to move off or makeprogress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Controllimits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,mud…), it can be useful to temporarilydeactivate the dynamic stability control andwheel anti-slip
systems to allow a degree of
wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow t
yres are strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may makeitself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal. When this warnin
g lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle whenbraking.

When this warnin
g lamp comes on,coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the electronic brake forcedistribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
