BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems
which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emer-
gency situations:
- the anti-lock braking system
(ABS),
- the electronic brake force distri-
bution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assist-
ance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability 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
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the instrument panel dis-
play, it indicates a malfunction of the
anti-lock braking system which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
If this warning light comes
on, together with the STOP
and ABS warning lights, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message on the instru-
ment panel display, 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.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency,
enables 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 effect of this is a reduction in
the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.
