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.
The electronic stability control programme
includes the following systems:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD)...
Emergency braking assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you
to reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance...
Other information:
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to
the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
deactivate the Stop & Start function,
drive as slow..
Do not remove the labels
attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For all work on your
vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
