DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS
(4/6)
The traction control system offers ad-
ditional safety. It is recommended that
you do not drive with the function disa-
bled. Correct this as soon as possible
by pressing the switch 1 again.
Note: The function is reactivated auto-
matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking system immediately devel-
ops maximum power and may trigger
ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Brake lights come on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up and flash in the event of sudden
deceleration.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the
system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “WARNING: Check
Braking System” appears on the instru-
ment panel along with the
©
warn-
ing light.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the traction control
system
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch
1 . In this case, the

warn-
ing light appears continuously on the
instrument panel accompanied by the
message “ESC OFF”. This action does
not deactivate the ESC.
