– ABS (anti-lock braking system);
– ESC (electronic stability control)
with understeer control and trac-
tion control;

Driver correction devices/aids
Operating faults:
–
© and x lit up on the in-
strument panel accompanied
by the messages “Check ABS”,
“WARNING: Check Braking System”
and “Check ESC”: the ABS, the ESC
and the emergency brake assist are
disabled. Braking is always ena-
bled;
–
x, D, © and ®
lit on the instrument panel accom-
panied by the message “Braking
system fault”: this indicates a fault
with the braking system.
In both cases, please consult an
Authorised Dealer.
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 per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. It is still essential to
follow the rules of good driving practice
(such as driving at a safe distance from
the vehicle in front etc.).
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (1/5)
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).
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.
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.
