The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) regulates the
brake pressure in critical driving situations:
R
During braking, for instance, at maximum full-
stop braking or if there is insufficient tire trac-
tion, 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 con-
ditions 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 yellow
!
ABS warning lamp lights up continuously after
the vehicle is started.
%
Off-road ABS is activated automatically when
you select the
F
or
G
drive program.
Off-road ABS is specially adapted for driving off-
road:
R
The front wheels lock cyclically during braking.
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.
&
WARNING Risk of an accident caused by a
malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist System)
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased.
#
Depress the brake pedal with full force in
emergency braking situations. ABS pre-
vents the wheels from locking.
The Brake Assist System (BAS) supports your
emergency braking situation with additional brake
force.
If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS will be
activated:
R
BAS automatically boosts the brake pressure.
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 will be deactivated.
