DRIVING YOUR 406
151
Do not use cruise control
on slippery roads or in
heavy traffic.
THE ABS ANTI-LOCK
BRAKING SYSTEM
When used with approved tyres in
good condition, the ABS increases
the stability and manoeuvrability of
your 406, particularly on poor or slip-
pery road surfaces.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system
enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,
thus reducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered according to the speed
of activation of the brake pedal. The
effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
The normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle
to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless of
the road characteristics and without
the driver having to touch the accel-
erator or brake pedals.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
Operation
☞ Place switch 1 in the ON position.
A speed can be memorised.
☞ Place switch 1 in the OFF position
to cancel.
Memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button 2 or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically.
Note: It is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the
cruise control.
