ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS / EBFD)
TheABSandEBFD(electronicbrake
forcedistribution)systemsimprovethe
stabilityandmanoeuvrabilityofyour
vehicleonbraking,inparticularon
poororslipperysurfaces.
TheABSpreventslockingofthe
wheels, the EBFD provides control of
thebrakingpressurewheelbywheel.
Ifthiswarninglampcomes
on,accompaniedbyan
audiblesignalandamessage
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunctionoftheABSwhich
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicleonbraking.
Ifthiswarninglampcomes
on,togetherwiththebrake
andSTOPwarninglamps,
accompaniedbyanaudible
signalandamessageinthe
screen,itindicatesamalfunctionof
theelectronicbrakeforcedistribution
which could result in a loss of control of
thevehicleonbraking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE (EBA)
Inanemergency,thissystemenables
theoptimumbrakingpressuretobe
reachedmorequickly,pressthepedal
rmlywithoutreleasingit.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brakepedalispresseddown.
Thisalterstheresistanceofthebrake
pedalunderyourfoot.
Tomaintainoperationofthe
emergencybrakingassistancesystem:
keepyourfootonthebrakepedal.
Good practice
Theanti-lockbrakingsystemcomes
intooperationautomaticallywhen
thereisariskofwheellock.Itdoesnot
reducethebrakingdistance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice,
oil,etc...)theABSmayincreasethe
brakingdistance.Whenbrakingin
anemergency,donothesitateto
pressthebrakepedalrmly,without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
tocontinuetomanoeuvrethevehicle
toavoidanobstacle.
NormaloperationoftheABSmaybe
feltbyslightvibrationofthebrake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims),ensurethatthesearelistedby
CITROËNforthevehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealeroraqualiedworkshop.
