Driving safety systems
In this section, you will find information
about the following driving safety systems:
앫 ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
앫
BAS (Brake Assist System)
앫 ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Program)
앫
SBC
TM
brake system (Sensotronic
Brake Control)
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
ABS adjusts the brake pressure in such a
way that the wheels do not lock when you
brake. This allows you to continue steering
the vehicle.
ABS works from a speed of about 5 mph
(8 km/h) upwards, regardless of road sur-
face conditions.
ABS works on slippery surfaces, even
when you only brake gently.
i
In winter conditions, the maximum effect of
ABS, BAS, ESP
®
and SBC
TM
can only be achieved
if you use winter tyres (M+S tyres), with snow
chains if necessary.
Risk of accident
G
The risk of an accident increases if you drive
too fast, especially when cornering, on wet
and icy roads and if you drive too close to
the vehicle in front.
The driving safety systems described in this
section are unable to reduce this risk or
override the laws of physics.
For this reason, always adapt your driving
style to suit the current road and weather
conditions and maintain a sufficient dis-
tance from other road users and objects on
the road.
Risk of accident
G
Do not depress the brake pedal repeatedly
in quick succession (pumping). Depress the
brake pedal firmly and evenly. Pumping the
brake pedal reduces the braking effect.
