cal data relating to vehicle deceleration or accel-
eration, such as: R

Base dont he evaluation of this data, the
restraint system control uni tt riggers the Emer-
gency Tensioning Devices during af ronta lo r
rea rc ollision. An Emergency Tensioning Device can only be
triggered, if: R

Safety

You are responsible for maintainin gt he distance
to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for
braking in good time, and for stayin ginl ane.
Always adapt your drivin gs tyle to suit the pre-
vailing road and weather condition sa nd main-
tain as afe distance from the vehicle in front.
Drive carefully.
The drivin gs afet ys ystems described only work
as effectively as possible when there is ade-
quate contac tb etwee nt he tires and the road
surface. Pay particular attention to the informa-
tion regarding tires, recommended minimum
tir et re ad depth se tc .int he "Wheels and tires"
section ( Y
page 260).
In wintry drivin gc onditions, always use winter
tires (M+S tires) and if necessary, sno wc hains.
Only in this way will the drivin gs afet ys ystems
described in this section work as effectively as
possible.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
Genera li nformationAB Sr egulates brak ep ressure in such aw ay that
the wheels do not lock when you brake. This
allows you to continue steerin gt he vehicle when
braking.

G WARNING
If AB Sism alfunctioning, the wheels could
lock when braking. The steerabilit ya nd brak-
ing characteristics would be severely affec-
ted. There is an increased danger of skidding
and accidents.
Drive on carefully. Have AB Sc hecked imme-
diately at aq ualified specialis tw orkshop.
When AB Sism alfunctioning, other systems,
including drivin gs afet ys ystems, will also becom ei noperative .O bserve the information

Brakes X
If ABS intervenes: continue to depres st he
brak ep edal vigorously until the braking sit-
uation is over. X
To make af ull brake application: depress
the brak ep edal with full force.
If AB Si ntervenes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brak ep edal.
The pulsatin gb rak ep edal can be an indication
of hazardous road conditions, and function sasa
