Anti - Blocking - System
The ABS system enhances conside-
rably the active driving safety of the
vehicle. Compared with common bra-
ke systems, it keeps a good driving
maneuverability even at sudden bra-
king on wet roads because the wheels
will not block.
However, you cannot expect that the
braking distance will be reduced with
ABS under all circumstances!
The ABS has been designed not to
shorten the braking distance, but to
keep the control ability over the vehicle.
If the circumferential wheel speed is
too low related to the vehicle speed and
the wheel tends to slip, the braking
pressure of this wheel will be reduced.
The braking pressure controls each
axle separately. Hereby the braking
effect will be balanced and the driving
maneuverability is kept as much as
possible.
To allow a good function of ABS, the
brake pedal must be hold depressed -
never brake up interruptedly!
n
When the ignition is on, the ABS
indicator light must always come
on. If the ABS indicator light does
not go out in several seconds after
the ignition is on, or when it does
not come on at all and/or comes on
during driving, the system is defe-
ctive and the vehicle is braked wi-
thout ABS. Only the normal brake
system is operative on vehicle.
Proceed to your nearest authori-
zed service station in that case.
n
The enhanced safety which is
offered by the ABS must not tempt
you to undergo any risking!
n
All repairs and interventions in
ABS may be performed by the au-
thorized service station only.
Warning!
ASR
*
n
The ASR system facilitates the ac-
celeration and driving when the road
adhesion is decreased. At the moment
when the wheel on the driving axle
starts to slip, it will be braked up and
hereby the torque on the wheel with
better adhesion conditions will be in-
creased. At the same time engine
speed (revolutions) and torque is be-
ing decreased.
n
While the ASR is being in operation
the ASR warning lamp is illuminating.
n
If the ASR indicator light does
not go out in several seconds after
the ignition is on, or when it does
not come on at all and/or comes
permanently on while driving, the
system is defective and ASR is
probably out of function.
Proceed to your nearest authori-
zed service station in that case.
n
When ASR is not functional, the
normal vehicle operation is not in-
fluenced.
n
All repairs and interventions in
ASR may be performed by the au-
thorized service station only.
Warning!
