HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Press the button, the direction

They can operate with the ignition
off.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND EBFD AND CSC * BRAKING SYSTEMS
The ABS, in conjunction with
the EBFD and CSC * braking
systems, increases the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
on braking and provides improved
control, in particular on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems
provide full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel. A
distribution between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the EBFD (Electronic Brake
Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of the CSC * (Cornering Stability
Control).
When the vehicle is being
driven, illumination of this
warning lamp indicates that
the parking brake is still on
or has not been properly
released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
