ABS - Anti-lock braking system
This system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking under heavy braking or in conditions of
poor road adherence.
It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The operating capacity of all the electrical components that are essential to the ABS system is checked by an elec-
trical monitoring system before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp comes on when you switch on the
ignition and should go out after a few seconds.
If the warning lamp does not go out, this means that the ABS has disconnected as a result of a malfunction. Also,
if the warning lamp lights up during a journey, it means that the ABS system is inactive. In either case, the normal
braking system remains fully effective, as on a non-ABS vehicle. However, to restore the safety associated with the
correct operation of the ABS, the vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by a CITROËN dealer.
On slippery surfaces (gravel, snow, ice, etc.), driving carefully is still essential.
Emergency braking assistance system
In an emergency, this system enables you to achieve the optimum braking pressure more quickly, thereby reduc-
ing the stopping distance. It deploys according to the speed of your action on the brake pedal, reducing the resist-
ance to that action. To prolong the effect of the emergency braking assistance, simply keep your foot on the brake
pedal.
