ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) The concept The ABS keeps the wheels from locking
while braking, thereby enhancing active
driving safety. ABS also includes Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD).Safe brakingYour vehicle is equipped with ABS as a stan
-
dard feature. The best way to brake the
vehicle in critical situations requiring brak
-
ing is to apply maximum pressure to the
brake pedal: panic stop.

Since the vehicle remains maneuverable,
you can still go around any obstacles with
the smallest possible steering movements.The pulsation of the brake pedal, together
with the sound of hydraulic regulation,
indicates to you that ABS is actively taking
effect.
Cornering Brake Control (CBC)Cornering Brake Control (CBC) is an
enhancement of ABS that improves vehicle
stability especially when braking during
cornering.

When the vehicle is being braked, the rear
wheels are relieved from load, and this can
cause the vehicle to oversteer in curves.
CBC counteracts this by making use of uni
-
lateral braking pressure to generate a sta
-
bilizing counter torque while braking out
-
side of the ABS control range.Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD)In order to achieve a short braking distance
when the vehicle is fully loaded, your vehi
-
cle is equipped with relatively large brakes
on the rear axle. EBV continuously moni
-
tors the speeds of the rear wheels in rela
-
tion to the front wheels in order to prevent
overbraking of the rear wheels even when
the vehicle has a light load. If the rear
wheels tend to lock, the EBV controls their
slip, ensuring operating stability.

CHANGING TIRES Jacking up the vehicle 1. Place the jack at the jacking point closest
to the wheel.

The jack base must be perpendicular to
the surface beneath the jacking point
The vehicle jack is designed for changing wheels only. Do not
attempt to raise another vehicle model
with it or to raise any load of any kind. To
do so could cause accidents and personal
injury.<
2.
During jacking up, insert the jack head in the square recess of the jacking point
3. Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you
are changing is raised from the ground.Mounting a wheel1. Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the
wheel2. Remove accumulations of mud or dirt
from the mounting surfaces of the
wheel and hub. Clean the lug bolts3. Mount the new wheel4. Screw at least two lug bolts finger-tight
into opposite bolt holes 5. Screw in the remaining bolts
6. Tighten all the lug bolts firmly in a diag
-
onal pattern
7. Lower the vehicle8. Remove the jack.Tightening the lug bolts Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pattern.
As soon as possible, have the secure seating of the lug bolts, tightening

wheel coming loose can lead to a severe
accident.<
Replace the defective tire as soon as possi
-
ble and have the new wheel/tire assembly
balanced.
