ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:

During braking, e.g. at full brake application
or insufficient tyre 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.
