146 Driving and Operating
Antilock Brake
System (ABS)
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake
pressure as soon as a wheel shows
a tendency to lock. The vehicle
remains steerable, even during hard
braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the
brake pedal fully depressed
throughout the braking process,
despite the fact that the pedal is
pulsating. Do not reduce the
pressure on the pedal.
After starting off, the system
performs a self-test which may be
audible.
Control indicator

Brake System (ABS) Warning
Light 071.
Adaptive brake light
During full braking, all three brake
lights flash for the duration of ABS
control.
Fault
{Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS
are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no
longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.
Parking Brake
{Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever. (Continued)

Driving and Operating 147
Warning (Continued)
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
foot brake at the same time.
See Brake and Clutch System
Warning Light 071.
Brake Assist
If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied
(full braking).
Maintain continuous pressure on the
brake pedal for as long as full
braking is required. Maximum brake
force is automatically reduced when
the brake pedal is released.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
The system helps prevent
unintended movement when driving
away on inclines.
When releasing the foot brake after
stopping on an incline, the brakes
remain on for a further two seconds.
The brakes release automatically as
soon as the vehicle begins to
accelerate.
The hill start assist is not active
during an Autostop.
Ride Control Systems
Traction Control
System (TCS)
The Traction Control system (TC) is
a component of the Electronic
Stability Control system.
TC improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the tyre of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts
to spin, engine output is reduced
and the wheel spinning the most is
braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery
road surfaces.
TC is operational as soon as the
control indicator
Gextinguishes.
When TC is active

A temporary spare wheel is not
equipped with pressure sensors.
The tyre pressure monitoring
system is not operational for these
wheels. Control indicator

illuminates. For the further three
wheels the system remains
operational. The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory
approved repair kits can be used.
External high-power radio
equipment could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced
tyre pressure monitoring system
sensors must be dismounted and
serviced. For the screwed sensor :
Replace valve core and sealing ring.
For clipped sensor : Replace
complete valve stem.

TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre/ wheel position after rotating the
tyres or exchanging the complete
wheel set and if one or more TPMS
sensors were replaced. The TPMS
sensor matching process should
also be performed after replacing a
spare tyre with a road tyre
containing the TPMS sensor.
The malfunction light and the
warning message or code should go
off at the next ignition cycle. The
sensors are matched to the tyre/
wheel positions, using a TPMS
relearn tool, in the following order :
Left side front tyre, right side front
tyre, right side rear tyre and left side
rear tyre. The turn light at the
current active position is illuminated
until sensor is matched.
Consult your workshop for service
or to purchase a relearn tool. You
have two minutes to match the first
tyre/ wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tyre/wheel positions. If it takes
longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching process
is outlined below:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Move selector lever to neutral.
4. Use MENUon the indicator
lever to select the Vehicle
Information Men u in the
Driver Information
Centre (DIC).
5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to the tyre
pressure menu.
6. Press SET/CLR to begin the
sensor matching process.
A message requesting
acceptance of the process
should display.
7. Press SET/CLR again to
confirm the selection. The horn
sounds twice to signal the
receiver is in relearn mode.
8. Start with the left side front tyre.
9. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the
valve stem. Then press the
