WARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels coul dlock when
braking. The steerability and braking charac-
teristics may be severely impaired .Addition-
ally, further driving safety systems are deac-
tivated. There is an increased dange rofskid-
ding and accidents.
Drive on carefully.H ave ABS checked imme-
diately at aqualified specialist workshop.
If ABS is malfunctioning, other systems,
including driving safety systems ,willa lso
become inoperative. Observe the information on the ABS warning lamp (Y page332) and
display messages which may be show ninthe
instrument cluster (Y page300).
ABS works from aspee dofa bout8km/h,
regardless of road-surface conditions. ABS
works on slippery surfaces, even when you
only brake gently.
Brakes X
If ABS intervenes: continue to depress the
brake peda lwith force until the braking sit-
uation is over.
X To make afull brake application:
depress the brake peda lwith full force.
If ABS intervenes when braking, you willf eel a
pulsing in the brake pedal.
The pulsating brake peda lcan be an indica-
tion of hazardous road conditions; this serves
as areminde rtotake extra care while driving. BAS (Brake Assist System)
General notes BAS operates in emergency braking situa-
tions. If you depress the brake peda lquickly,
BAS automatically boosts the braking force,
thus shortening the stopping distance. Important safety notes i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page77). G
WARNING
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased. There is arisk of accident.
In an emergency braking situation, depress
the brake peda lwith full force. ABS prevents
the wheels from locking.
Brakes X
Keep the brake peda ldepressed firmly until
the emergency braking situation is over.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
The brakes willf unction as usual once you
release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated. BAS PLUS(
Brake Assist System
PLUS) with Cross-Traffic Assist
General notes i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page77).
BAS PLUS is only available on vehicles with
the Driving Assistance package.
For BAS PLUS to assist you when driving, the
rada rsensor system and the camera system
must be operational.
With the help of asensor system and acam-
era system, BAS PLUS can detect obstacles:
R that are in the path of yourv ehiclefor an
extended period of time
R that cross the path of yourv ehicle
In addition, pedestrians in the path of your
vehicl ecan be detected.
BAS PLUS detects pedestrians using typical
characteristics such as the body contours
and posture of aperso nstanding upright.
If the rada rsensor system or the camera sys-
