PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
Dual circuit braking system
WARNING
If a brake circuit fails, you will at
first experience a softer feel to
the brake pedal. You will then need
to exert a greater force on the brake
pedal, and make allowance for
increased stopping distances. Have
the braking system checked by an
expert before continuing your
journey.
E66564
Your vehicle is equipped with a
diagonally split dual circuit braking
system. If one of the brake circuits
fails, the other remains operative.
Disc brakes
E66565
Wet brake discs result in reduced
braking efficiency.
After leaving a carwash or driving the
vehicle through water, dab the brake
pedal while driving to remove the film
of water.
Emergency brake assist
WARNING
Emergency brake assist is an
additional system which is not
intended to relieve the driver of his
responsibility for exercising due care
and attention when driving.
Emergency brake assist is able to
detect an emergency braking
situation by measuring the rate at
which the brake pedal is applied. It
automatically provides maximum
braking efficiency as long as the
pedal is applied. This can reduce
stopping distances in critical
situations.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ABS
WARNING
Although the ABS ensures
optimum braking efficiency,
stopping distances can vary greatly
depending on the road surface and
conditions. Use of the ABS cannot
eliminate the dangers inherent in
driving too close to the vehicle in front
of you, aquaplaning, excessive
cornering speed or poor road
surfaces.
