Function of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
ABSregulatesthe brake pressure in critical driv‐ing situations:
RDuring braking, e.g. at full brake applicationor insufficient tire traction,the wheels areprevented from locking.
RVehiclesteerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS intervenes when braking,you willfeel apulsing inthe brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardousroadconditions and can serveas aremindertotakeextra care while driving.
System limitationsRABS is active from speeds of approx. 5mph(8 km/h).
RABS may be impaired or may not function if amalfunction has occurred andtheyel‐low%ABSwarning lamp lights up contin‐uously inthe instrument cluster aftertheengine isstarted.
Function ofBAS (Brake Assist System)
\nWARNINGRisk of an accident causedbya malfunction inBAS (Brake AssistSys‐tem)
IfBAS is malfunctioning,the braking distancein an emergency braking situation isincreased.
Depressthe brake pedal with fullforcein emergency braking situations. ABSpreventsthe wheels from locking.
