Anti-lock brake system(ABS)* In conjunction with approved tyres in good condition, the anti-lockbrake system improves the stabilityand handling of your 106, particu-larly on poor or slippery surfaces. The anti-lock brake system ope- rates automatically if there is a riskof wheel locking. Lighting of the ABS warning lamp may be due to the turning of awheel during an operation on thevehicle (changing a wheel, forexample) with the ignition on (posi-tion
M).

operation of the system can berecognised by a light vibration ofthe brake pedal. Should an emergency stop be
necessary, press the brake pedal
