BRAKES45II-4ABS - Anti-lock Braking System* This system improves vehicle safety by preventing the wheels from locking under emergency braking or when
braking on surfaces offering poor adhesion.
It thus also allows control of the steering to be retained. The operation of the various electronic components of the system is continuously monitored, both before and during your
journey. On switching on the ignition, the ABS lamp will light for approximately two seconds. If it stays on or lights when
driving, the ABS computer has detected a fault and has disconnected the ABS system. If the lamp lights whilst driving, it
again indicates that a fault has been detected and that the ABS system is inactive. In both situations, the normal braking
system is not affected and will continue to function as a conventional braking system without ABS. Nevertheless, to re-
establish the full safety features of the ABS system, It is recommended that the vehicle be examined by a dealer as soonas possible.
On slippery roads (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.), it is imperative to drive with caution.
