DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system enables detection of an
emergency braking situation. In this
case, the braking system immediately
develops maximum power and may
trigger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
(4/5)
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
– if you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
– if you do not use the accelerator, the
system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message "WARNING: Check
Braking System" appears on the instru-
©
ment panel along with the
ing light.
Consult an approved dealer.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
These functions do not take the
place of the driver. They do not
increase the vehicle's limits and
should not encourage you to
drive more quickly. Under no cir-
cumstances should they replace
warn-
the vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the vehi-
cle (the driver must always be ready
for sudden incidents which may
occur when driving).
