xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it lights up when you are driving, it in-
dicates a fault in the anti-lock braking
system.
Braking will then be as normal, without
the ABS. Contact an approved Dealer
as soon as possible.
ÔCoolant temperature warn-
ing light
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on.
If it turns red, stop and let the engine
idle for a minute or two.
The temperature should lower and the
warning light should return to a blue
colour. If not, stop the engine. Let the
engine cool down before checking the
coolant.
Contact an approved Dealer.
WARNING LIGHTS (3/4)
Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) and traction control
system warning light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
There are several reasons for the war-
ning light to come on: please refer to
the information on “Driver correction
devices and aids” in Section 2.
ÄToxic Fume Filter System
Warning Light
For vehicles equipped with this option,
the light comes on when the ignition is
switched on then goes out.
– If it lights up continuously, consult your approved dealer as soon as
possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information on “Advice:
antipollution, fuel economy and driving”
in Section 2.

AND COUNTRY.

2.23
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS);
– electronic stability program (ESC) with understeer control and trac-
tion control;
– emergency brake assist;
– hill start assistance.Operating faults:
–
© and x lit up on the in-
strument panel alongside messages
“CHECK ABS”, “CHECK BRAKING
SYSTEM” and “CHECK ESC”: ABS,
ESC and emergency brake assist
are deactivated. Braking is always
enabled;
–
x, D, © and ® lit
up on the instrument panel alongside
the message “BRAKING SYSTEM
FAULT”: this indicates a fault in
the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any
way improve the vehicle's physical per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. It is still essential to
follow the rules of good driving practice
(such as driving at a safe distance from
the vehicle in front etc.).
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/4)
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

2.25
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK BRAKING
SYSTEM” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.
