Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP and ABS warning
l
amps, accompanied by an audible signal
a
nd a message, it indicates that there
i
s a fault with the electronic brake force
di
stribution
(
EBFD).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp indicates that there is a fault
with
the ABS. Depending
on version, your vehicle has a s
ystem to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face
adhesion that could make it difficult to
m
ove off or make progress on deep fresh snow
o
r compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide
the best traction and trajectory control
f
or your vehicle.
The
use of snow tyres is strongly
r
ecommended on sur faces offering low levels
o
f adhesion.
When
changing wheels (tyres and
r
ims), ensure that these are approved
for
your vehicle.
Normal
operation of the ABS may make
i
tself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
ped
al.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In
both
cases, have the system checked by a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
s
oon
as
possible.
The
vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
c
arefully
at moderate speed.
