DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS
3
Driving - 167
Dependingonthevehicle,theymayin
clude:
– an anti-lock braking system
(ABS);
– electronic stability control (ESC)
with understeer control and traction
control;
– emergency brake assist;
– multi-collision braking;
– regenerative braking system;
– hill start assistance.
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.
These 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responsi
bilityofthedriverwhenmanoeu
vring the vehicle (the driver must
alwaysbereadyforsuddeninci
dentswhichmayoccurwhendri
ving).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
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.).
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:
– and illuminated on
theinstrumentpanelaccompanied,de
pending on the vehicle, by the "Check
ABS", "Check braking system" and
"Check ESC" messages to indicate
that ABS, ESC and Emergency Brake
Assist are deactivated. Braking is still
provided;
– , , and
light up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the "Braking
system fault" message to indicate a
fault in the braking system.
Inbothcases,pleasecontactanap
proved Dealer.
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is danger
ous to brake suddenly
anditisessentialtostopimmedi
ately, as soon as traffic conditions
allow. Call an approved dealer.
