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 im-
proved 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 light indicates that
the handbrake is still on or has
not been properly released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
handbrake.
HANDBRAKE

Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.
Note: when changing wheels
(tyres), make sure that these
