ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground, etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle’s physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front).
Operating faults:
– If the
x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while driv-
ing, braking is still operational;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
In these cases, the ABS, ESP and
emergency brake assist are all deacti-
vated and the messages “Check ABS”,
“Check braking system” and “Check
ESP” are displayed on the instrument
panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES (1/3)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– ABS (anti-lock braking system);
– electronic stability program (ESP)
with understeer control and trac-
tion control (ASR);
– emergency brake assist with, de-
pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
