ABS - Anti-lock Braking System
This system improves vehicle safety by preventing the wheels from lockin
g under emergency braking or
when braking on surfaces offering poor adhesion. It thus allo ws control of the steering to be retained.
The operational capacity of the various electrical components of the ABS is continuously monitored, both before
and during your journey. On switching on the ignition, th e ABS warning lamp will light up and then should go out
after a few seconds.
If the warning lamp stays on, this means that the ABS has been disconnected because a fault was detected. If
the warning lamp lights up when you are driving, this means t hat the ABS system is not active. In either case, the
normal braking system remains effective, as on a vehicle without ABS. Nevertheless, to restore the additional
safety afforded by correct functioning of ABS, it is recommended tha t the vehicle be taken to a CITROËN dealer
as soon as possible.
On slippery roads (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.), it remains essenti al to drive with caution.
Emergency braking assistance system
This system enables you in an emergency to achieve the optimum braki ng pressure, thus to reduce the stopping
distance. It is triggered by your speed of action on the brake pedal, which reduces its resistance to that action.
Keep the brake pedal pressed until the vehicle comes to a stop. B R A K E S
