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.
