Anti-lock braking system and  
electronic brake force distribution  
Group of supplementary systems which help  
you to obtain optimum braking in complete  
safety in emergency situations:  
Linked systems which improve the stability  
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when  
braking, in particular on poor or slippery  
surfaces.  
-
-
anti-lock braking system (ABS),  
electronic brake force distribution  
(EBFD),  
-
emergency braking assistance (EBA).  
Operation  
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 accompanied by some noise.  
HOrn  
Press the centre of the steering wheel.  
When braking in an emergency, press  
very firmly without releasing the  
pressure.  
Switching off  
These systems cannot be deactivated by  
the driver.

The ABS system does not provide shorter  
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces  
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking  
distances. For emergency braking, press the  
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even  
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to  
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.  
System which, in an emergency, enables  
you to obtain the optimum braking pressure  
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping  
distance.  
panel screen, it indicates a fault with  
the anti-lock braking system which could result in  
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.  
Operation  
It is triggered by the speed at which the  
brake pedal is pressed.  
When replacing wheels (tyres and  
rims), ensure that they conform to the  
manufacturer's recommendations.  
If this warning lamp comes on,

The effect of this is a reduction in the  
resistance of the pedal and an increase in  
braking efficiency.  
it indicates a fault with the electronic brake  
force distribution which could result in loss  
of control of the vehicle when braking.  
When braking in an emergency, press  
firmly without releasing the pressure.  
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
Switching off  
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or  
a qualified workshop.  
This system cannot be deactivated by  
the driver.  
For maximum braking efficiency, a  
bedding-in period of around 300 miles  
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this  
period it is recommended that you avoid  
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking.
