YOUR 106 IN DETAIL
Anti-lock brake system
(ABS)*
In conjunction with approved tyres
in good condition, the anti-lock
brake system improves the stability
and handling of your 106, particu-
larly on poor or slippery surfaces.
The anti-lock brake system ope-
rates automatically if there is a risk
of wheel locking.
Lighting of the ABS warning lamp
may be due to the turning of a
wheel during an operation on the
vehicle (changing a wheel, for
example) with the ignition on (posi-
tion M).
1
Note: In certain conditions, normal
operation of the system can be
recognised by a light vibration of
the brake pedal.

Application:

To make application and release of
the handbrake easier, press the
brake pedal and pull the handbrake

best compromise when parking and
when driving at high speeds.
