Dependingonthevehicle,theymayin
clude:
– the ABS (antilock braking sys
tem);
– emergency brake assist;
– of the electronic stability pro
gramESC with understeer control
and traction control;
– hill start assistance;
– deceleration speed control;
– multi-collision braking.
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. 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re
placethevigilanceorresponsibili
ty of the driver when manoeuvring
thevehicle(thedrivermustal
waysbereadyforsuddeninci
dentswhichmayoccurwhendri
ving).
ABS (anti-lock braking system)
Underheavybraking,theABSpre
vents 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obsta
clewhilstbraking.Inaddition,thissys
tem 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sur
face and roadholding. It is still essen
tial to follow the rules of good driving
practice(suchasdrivingatasafedis
tance from the vehicle in front etc.).
Special feature of 4wheel drive ve
hicles
In "4WDLOCK" mode, the system
may lock the wheels briefly to optimise
the braking distance on very wet
ground (snow, mud, sand, etc.).
In an emergency, apply
firm and continuous pres
sure to the brake pedal.
Thereisnoneedtopumpitre
peatedly. The ABS will modulate
the force applied in the braking
system.
Operating faults:

strument panel accompanied by
the"Check ABS", "WARNING: Check
Braking System" and "Check ESC"
