Citroen C3: Electronic stability control (ESC) / Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability and handling during braking, and enable greater control while cornering, particularly on poor or slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed
in the
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit
together with
the STOP and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by a message and an audible
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The normal operation of
the ABS may
result in slight vibrations in the brake
pedal.
When braking in an
emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have
these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
