If you benefit from the Citroën Connect
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
Box offer with the SOS and assistance
pack included, there are additional
services available to you in your personal
space, via the website for your country.
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to 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.
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control integrating the
following systems:
If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP and
ABS warning lamps, an audible
signal and a message, this indicates
that the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) is faulty.
You must stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
-
anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
emergency braking assistance (EBA),
wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.

dynamic stability control (DSC).
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and
contributes towards improved control on corners, in
particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
If you need to brake in an emergency,
press the brake pedal very firmly and
keep the pressure applied.
The electronic brake force distribution system (EBFD)
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
