223Driving and operation
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS u)
ABS continually monitors the brake system
and prevents the wheels from locking
regardless of the type of road surface or
tyre grip.
It starts to regulate the braking pressure as
soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock.
The v ehicle remains steera ble, even in the
event of very heavy braking, for instance
on bends or when swerving to avoid an
obstacle. Even in the case of full-on
braking, the ABS makes it possible to drive
round an obstacle without releasing the
brakes.
ABS control is made apparent though a
pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of
the regulation process.

Control indicator u for ABS
It comes on for a few seconds after the
ignition is turned on. The system is ready
for operation when the control indicator
goes out.
If the control indicator does not go out
after a few sec onds, or if it illuminates while
driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The
brake system rem ains operational without
AB S reg ulation.
Self-check
Each time the ignition is turned on and the
engine started, after moving away from a
speed of around 2 mph (3 km/h) the system
performs a self-check which may be
audible.
Fault
You can continue driving, provided you
drive with care and anticipation.
Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a
workshop. The self-diagnosis integrated
into the system allows rapid fault
identification.
9 Warning
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that the
pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the
pressure on the pedal.
Do not let this special safety feature
tempt you into taking risks when driving.
Traffic safety can only be achieved by
adopting a responsible driving style.
9 Warning
If there is a fault in ABS, the wheels may
be subject to locking due to braking that
is heavier than normal. The advantages
of ABS are no longer operational. The
vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
