If you secure achild in achild restraint system
on the front-passenger seat and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is
off, the front-passenger fronta ir bag can
deploy in the event of an accident. The child
could be struc kbythe air bag. This poses an
increased risk of injur yoreven fatal injury.
Make sure that the front-passenger fronta ir
bag has been disabled. The PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.
GWARNING
If you secure achild in aforward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat
and you position the front-passenger seat too close to the dashboard, the child could, in the
event of an accident:

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
General notes
ABS regulate sbrake pressure in such awaythat
the wheels do not lock when yo ubrake. This
allows yo utocontinue steering the vehicl ewhen
braking.
The ò warning lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up when the ignition is switched on. The
lamp goes ou twhent he engine starts running.
Important safety notes
Observe the important safety guideline sfor the
drivin gsafety system(Ypage 62).
ABS works fromas peedof abou t5mph
(8 km/h), regardles sofroad-surface conditions.
ABS works on slippery surfaces ,evenw heny ou
onl ybrake gently.
GWARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when
braking .The steerability an dbraking charac-
teristics maybes everel yimpaired. Addition-
ally ,fur the rdrivin gsafety systems ar edeac-

BAS, Hill Start Assist and ESP®and its driving
safety systems and other driving systems also
fail .Observe the notes on the òwarning
lamp and the display messages.
Braking
If ABS intervenes when braking, you wil lfeel a
pulsating in the brake pedal.
The pulsating brake pedalc an be an indication
of hazardous road conditions and functions as a
reminder to take extra care whiled riving.
XIf ABS intervenes:continue to depresst he
brake pedalw ith force until the braking sit-
uatio niso ver.
XTo make afull brake application: depress
the brake pedalw ith full force.
BAS (Brake Assist System)
General notes
BAS operates in emergency braking situations.
If you depresst he brake pedalq uickly, BAS
automatically boosts the braking force, thus
shortening the stopping distance.
Important safety notes
Observe the important safety guidelines for the
driving safety system (Ypage 62).
GWARNING
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased .There is arisk of an accident.
In an emergency braking situation, depress
the brake pedalw ith full force. ABS prevents
the wheel sfrom locking.
If BAS is malfunctioning, the ÷warning lamp
lights up whil ethe engine is running
(

Braking
XKeep the brake pedalf irmly depressed until
the emergency braking situation is over.
ABS prevents the wheel sfrom locking.
The brakes willf unction as usual once you
release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.
EBD (electroni cbrake force distribu-
tion)
General notes
EBD monitors and controls the brake pressure
to the rear wheels. This enables EBD to improve handling during braking.
Important safety notes
Observe the important safety guidelines for the
driving safety system (Ypage 62).
GWARNING
If EBD is malfunctioning, the rear wheelsc an
lock, e.g. under full braking. This increases the
risk of skidding and an accident.
You shoul dtherefore adapt you rdriving style
to the different handling characteristics. Have
the brake system checked at aqualifieds pe-
cialist workshop.
