ABS Brake System
(Antilock Brake System)
The ABS system represents a major contribution
to the enhancement of active safety in your vehi-
cle. This system prevents the wheels from locking
in a panic stop on almost all road surfaces.
Controls, Instruments
With the ASS system in your vehicle, the
following areas are enhanced:
Steering,
vehicle remains steerable under all
braking forces when ABS is engaged.
Good directional control,
no swerving caused
by locking of wheels under braking conditions.
Shorter stopping distance,
stopping distances
are usually reduced because controlled braking is
maximized.
Prevention of
wheel lock
up,
no brake- induced
sliding and thus no localized tire wear from emer-
gency braking.
The crucial advantage of the ABS system over a
conventional brake system is in the area of main-
taining directional control and maneuverability of
the car in emergency situations during normal
driving, including panic braking in turns.
A
Warning!
The increased control that is provided should
not induce you to take greater risks with your
safety. The limits dictated by the laws of
physics cannot be overcome, even with ASS.
The risk of accidents due to inappropriate
speed cannot be reduced, even by the ASS.
The driver bears the responsibility for all
driving maneuvers.
t>
Adapt your driving style to the prevailing road
and weather conditions.
t>
Obey all traffic laws.
Other vehicles not equipped with the ASS
system may not be able to maintain control,
especially on wet or poor road surfaces and
thus may be more likely to impact you from
behind.
t>
To minimize that risk, use your ABS system to
increase your ability to maneuver to avoid dan-
gerous situations and not merely to try to stop
in the shortest distance possible.
