ANTI-SKID CONTROL
This system helps to limit skidding
on drive wheels and to control the
vehicle when pulling away or
accelerating.
This function is an
additional aid in case of
critical driving conditions
to enable the vehicle
behaviour to be adapted to suit the
driving conditions.
However, the function does not
take the place of the driver. It does
not increase the vehicle's limits
and should not encourage you to
drivemorequickly.
Thus,itcan,underno
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).
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and
slows down their over-rotation.
If a wheel is starting to spin, the
system brakes automatically until the
drive supplied becomes compatible
with the level of grip.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the action
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function is in operation,
message 1 flashes to make you aware
of this.
