abS (anti-lock braking
System)
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 perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front). Operating faults:
–
If the x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while driv-
ing, braking is still operational .
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on while driving, this indicates a
fault in the braking system.
In such cases, the ABS and emergency
brake assist are also deactivated and,
depending on the vehicle, the mes -
sages “check ABS” and “check brak -
ing system” appear on the instrument
panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
DriVing cOrrEctiOn DEVicES (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– abS (anti-lock braking system);
– emergency brake assist with, de -
pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;
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.
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).
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
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.

Emergency brake assist
This is an additional system to ABS
which helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the brak-
ing assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger ABS
regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is not released.

The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 18 mph (30 km/h).
Cruise control
cruiSE cOntrOl, SPEED liMitEr: cruise control function (1/4)

The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
This function is an addi -
tional driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circum -
stances replace the driver’s respon-
sibility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip -
pery roads (black ice, aquaplan -
ing, gravel) and during bad weather
(fog, rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.

Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti -
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored.
The green
 and  indicator lights
on the instrument panel go out, con -
firming that the function is deactivated.
recalling the cruising speed
If a speed has been stored, it can be re-
called by pressing button 5 (R), on con-
dition that you are driving faster than
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and
that you are sure that the driving condi -
tions are suitable (traffic, road surface
condition, weather conditions, etc.).
nb : if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– the brake pedal;
– move to neutral position;
– switch 4 (O).
In all three cases, the cruising speed is
stored.
Standby is confirmed when the green
 warning light goes out and the
“stored” message appears on the in -
strument panel.
cruiSE cOntrOl, SPEED liMitEr: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

Level 3
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the “ MInI” warning
line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website.
t opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
