DRIVING YOUR 306 CABRIOLET
THE ABS ANTI-LOCK
BRAKING SYSTEM*
In conjunction with tyres in good con-
dition and of an approved make, the
ABS system with electronic brake
force distribution improves the stabil-
ity and handling of your vehicle, par-
ticularly on an uneven or slippery
surface.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
In the event of emergency braking,
press very firmly without reducing
the pressure.
In some conditions the normal oper-
ation of the ABS may be felt as
vibrations of the brake pedal.
* According to specification.
Power steering*
This is a comfort device which offers
the best compromise for parking, and
for driving at high speeds.
