DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS
2
Driving - 117
– ABS (anti-lock braking system);
– ESC (electronic stability control)
with understeer control and traction
control;
– emergency brake assist;
– hill start assistance.
Other driving assistance systems are
detailed on the following pages.
These functions are an
additional aid in the
event of critical driving
conditions, enabling the
vehicle behaviour 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 responsibility of
the driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always be
ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
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
vehicle can be steered to avoid an
obstacle whilst braking. In addition,
this system can increase stopping
distances, particularly 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"
performance 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
etc.).
In an emergency, apply
firm and continuous
pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump it
repeatedly. The ABS will modulate
the force applied in the braking
system.
Operating faults:
– and lit up on the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the"Check ABS", "WARNING: Check
Braking System" and "Check ESC"
messages: the ABS, ESC and
emergency brake assist are
deactivated. Braking is still provided;
– , , and
lit on the instrument panel
accompaniedbythe"WARNING:
Braking System" message: this
indicates a fault with the braking
system.
In both cases, please consult an
Authorised Dealer.
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. Call an
approved Dealer.
