Emergency braking
assistance
Systemwhich,inanemergency,enablesyou
toobtaintheoptimumbrakingpressuremore
quickly,thusreducingthestoppingdistance.
Activation
Itistriggeredbythespeedatwhichthebrake
pedalispressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
brakingefficiency.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifiedworkshop.
Whenbrakinginanemergency,press
veryfirmlywithoutreleasingthe
pressure.
