Functions of ABS (anti-lock braking system)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
R
During braking, the wheels are prevented
from blocking, e.g. due to maximum full-stop
braking or insufficient traction of the tires.
R
Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
R
ABS is active from speeds of approx. 5 mph
(8 km/h).
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can serve as a reminder to take
extra care while driving.
System borders
ABS may be impaired or may not function if a
malfunction has occurred and the yellow
!
ABS warning lamp lights up continuously in the
instrument cluster after the engine is started.
Function of BAS (Brake Assist System)
&
WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
a malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist Sys‐
tem)
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
may increase in an emergency braking situa‐
tion.
#
Depress the brake pedal with full force
in emergency braking situations. ABS
prevents the wheels from locking.
BAS supports your emergency braking situation
with additional brake force.
If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS is
activated:
R
BAS automatically boosts the brake pres‐
sure.
R
BAS can shorten the braking distance.
R
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual once you
release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.
