BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency,
enables you to obtain the optimum
braking pressure more quickly, thus
reducing the stopping distance.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
Group of supplementary systems
which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emer-
gency situations:
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
-
-
anti-lock braking system (ABS),
electronic brake force distribu-
tion (EBFD),
The effect of this is a reduction in
the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
-
emergency braking assistance
(EBA).
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the STOP
and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen,
it indicates a malfunction of the elec-
tronic brake force distribution which
could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
When braking in an emergency,
press firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular
on poor or slippery surfaces.
You must stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In either case, contact a CITROËN
VIII
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibration of
the brake pedal.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
When braking in an emergency,
press very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
