Operation Manual

225Driving and operation
Control indicator u for ABS
It comes on for a few seconds after the
ignition is turned on. The system is ready
for operation when the control indicator
goes out.
If the control indicator does not go out
after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while
driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The
brake system remains operational without
ABS regulation.
Self-check
Each time the ignition is turned on and the
engine started, after moving away from a
speed of around 1.9 mph (3 km/h) the
system performs a self-check which may be
audible.
Fault
You can continue driving, provided you
drive with care and anticipation.
Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a
workshop. The self-diagnosis integrated
into the system facilitates rapid fault
identification.
Wheels, tyres
See page 337 for suitable tyres and
restrictions.
Tyres fitted in the factory are adapted to
the chassis and provide optimum driving
comfort and safety.
Changing tyre/wheel type
Before conversion to other tyres or wheels,
note the changes required.
If tyres of a different size than those fitted
at the factory are used, the electronic
speedometer may require reprogramming
to ensure that the correct speed is
displayed.
9 Warning
If there is a fault in ABS, the wheels may
be subject to locking due to braking that
is heavier than normal. The advantages
of ABS are no longer operational. The
vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroadworthy.
