Functions of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
R
During braking, e.g. at maximum full-stop
braking or insufficient tire traction, the
wheels are prevented from locking.
R
Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
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 limits
R
ABS is active from speeds of approx. 3 mph
(5 km/h).
R
ABS may be impaired or may not function if a
malfunction has occurred and the yel‐
low ! ABS warning lamp lights up contin‐
uously in the instrument cluster after the
engine is started.
Functions of Off-road ABS
Off-road ABS is specially adapted for driving off-
road:
R
The front wheels lock cyclically during brak‐
ing.
R
The braking distance is shortened due to the
digging-in effect.
System limits
R
Off-road ABS functions at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h).
R
If Off-road ABS intervenes, the ability to steer
may be restricted.
Function of BAS
The Brake Assist System (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.
