During hard braking, the ABS system prevents the wheels from locking, thus allowing control over the braking distance and steering of the vehicle.

In such conditions, it is possible to perform manoeuvres to avoid an obstacle while braking. Moreover, this system optimises the braking distance, especially on surfaces with low grip (wet road).

Each time the system activates, the brake pedal vibrates. The ABS system never improves the "physical" parameters related to tyre grip on the road surface. Therefore, the rules of careful driving must always be observed (keeping a safe distance between vehicles, etc.).

In an emergency braking situation, it is recommended to press the brake pedal firmly and continuously. It is not necessary to pump the brake pedal. The ABS system will adjust the braking force applied in the braking system.

Malfunctions

  • If the warning lightappears on the
    instrument panel while driving, braking is still ensured;
  • If the warning lightsand

    appear on the instrument panel, this indicates a fault in the braking system components.

In these cases, the ABS, ESC and emergency brake assist systems are also switched off.

Partial braking system operation is ensured. However, this involves a risk in case of emergency braking and requires stopping the vehicle immediately, if road conditions allow. Contact an Authorised Dacia Partner.
