BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary  systems  which help
 you  to  obtain  optimum  braking  in complete

  safety   in   emergency   situations:
-
 
anti-lock
  braking   system   (ABS),
-
 
electronic
 
brake
 
force
 
distribution
 
(E

b F d ),
-
 emergency

  braking   assistance   (EBA).
When
 
braking
 
in
 
an
 
emergency
,  
press

 
very
 
firmly
 
without
 
releas
-
ing
  the   pressure. When
 
replacing
 
wheels
 
(tyres
 
and

 
rims),
 
ensure
 
that
 
they
 
con
-
form
 
to
 
the
 
manufacturer's
 
rec
-
ommendations. When
 
braking
 
in
 
an
 
emergency
,  
press

 
firmly
 
without
 
releasing
 
the

  pressure.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which  improve  the  sta -
bility  and  manoeuvrability  of  your  vehicle when

 
braking,
 
in
 
particular
 
on
 
poor
 
or slippery

  surfaces.
Activation
The
 
anti-lock
 
braking
 
system
 
comes
 
into

 
operation
 
automatically
 
when
 
there
 
is

  a   risk   of   wheel   lock.
Normal
 
operation
 
of
 
the
 
ABS
 
may
 
make
 
itself

 
felt
 
by
 
slight
 
vibration
 
of
 
the
 
brake
 
pedal. Operating fault
If
 
this
 
warning
 
lamp
 
comes
 
on,
 
accompanied

 
by
 
an
 
audible
 
signal

 
and
 
a
 
message
 
in
 
the
 
screen,

 
it
 
indicates
 
a
 
malfunc
-
tion  
of
 
the
 
anti-lock
 
braking
 
system
 
which

 
could
 
result
 
in
 
loss
 
of
 
control
 
of
 
the

  vehicle   when   braking.
If  
this
 
warning
 
lamp
 
comes
 
on, together

 
with
 
the
 
ST
OP  
and ABS

 
warning
 
lamps,
 
accompa
-
nied  
by
 
an
 
audible
 
signal
 
and a

 
message
 
in
 
the
 
screen,
 
it
 
indicates
 
a malfunction

 
of
 
the
 
electronic
 
brake
 
force distribution

 
which
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
loss
 
of control

  of   the   vehicle   when   braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Emergency braking assistance
System which,  in  an  emergency ,  en -
ables  you  to  obtain  the  optimum  braking  
pressure

 
more
 
quickly
,  
thus
 
reducing
 
the

  stopping   distance.
Activation
It
 
is
 
triggered
 
by
 
the
 
speed
 
at
 
which
 
the
 
brake

  pedal   is   pressed.
The
 
ef
fect  
of
 
this
 
is
 
a
 
reduction
 
in
 
the
 
resistance

 
of
 
the
 
pedal
 
and
 
an
 
increase
 
in

  braking   efficiency.
In either case, contact a CITR
o

qualified
 
workshop.

TRAjECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
dynamic stability control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation  (also  known  as  traction
 control)  optimises  traction  to  
prevent

ing
 
on
 
the
 
brakes

wheels
 
and

  on   the   engine.
The electronic stability control acts on
the
 
brake
 
of
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
wheels
 
and
 
on

 
the
 
engine
 
to
 
keep

Activation
These

cally
  each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
They
 
come
 
into

A FEW DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the driving  regulations  at  all  times
 and  remain  vigilant  whatever  the  
traffic

  conditions.
Pay
 
close
 
attention
 
to
 
the
 
traffic
 
and
 
keep

 
your
 
hands
 
on
 
the
 
wheel
 
so
 
that
 
you

 
are
 
ready
 
to
 
react
 
at
 
any
 
time
 
to
 
any

  eventuality.
On
 
a
 
long
 
journey
,  
a
 
break
 
every
 
two hours

  is   strongly   recommended.
In
 
difficult
 
weather
,

ticipate
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
brake
 
and
 
increase
 
the

  distance   from   other   vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise  against  driving  on  flooded
 roads,  as  this  could  cause  seri -
ous
 
damage
 
to
 
the
 
engine
 
or
 
gearbox,
 
as

 
well
 
as
 
to
 
the
 
electrical
 
systems
 
of
 
your

  vehicle.
Important!
Never drive  with  the  parking  brake
 applied  -  Risk  of  overheat -
ing
 
and
 
damage
 
to
 
the
 
braking
 
system!
Do

 
not
 
park
 
or
 
run
 
the
 
engine when

stationary in areas where
inflammable substances  and  ma -terials (dry grass,  dead  leaves...) might
 come  into  contact  with  the hot

 
exhaust
 
system 
-  
Risk
 
of
 
fire!
n

ever leave a vehicle unsuper-
vised
 
with
 
the
 
engine
 
running.
 
If
 
you have to leave your vehicle
with

 
the
 
engine
 
running,
 
apply

parking
 
brake
 
and
