Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBF
d)
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the ABS, which could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP
warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message, it indicates that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD), which could cause loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of adhesion.
Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control
.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
