ABS (Antilock Brake System)
The ABS prevents the wheels from
locking up above a vehicle speed of
approximately 3 km/h (2 mph) inde
pendent of road surface conditions.
It is necessary, however, that the
vehicle speed reaches at least
8 km/h (5 mph) before commencing
to brake.
At the instant one of the wheels is
about to lock up, a slight pulsation can
be felt in the brake pedal, indicating
that the ABS is in the regulating mode.
On slippery road surfaces, the ABS
will respond even with only slight
brake pedal pressure. The pulsating
brake pedal can be an indication of
hazardous road conditions, and it
functions as a reminder to take extra
care while driving.
The ABS warning lamp in the instru
ment cluster comes on with the key in
steering lock position 2 and should go
out with the engine running.
If the charging voltage falls below
10 volts, the indicator lamp comes on
and the ABS is switched off When the
voltage is above this value again, the
warning lamp should go out and the
ABS will be operational.
If the ABS warning lamp does not
go out or comes on while driving, it in
dicates that the ABS has detected a
malfunction and has switched off. In
this case, the brake system functions
in the usual manner, but without
antilock assistance. Have the
system checked at your authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer as soon as
possible.
Warning!
Even the ABS cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from act
ing on the vehicle. The ABS can
not prevent accidents, including
those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another
vehicle too closely, or aquaplan
ing. Only a safe, attentive, and
skillful driver can prevent acci
dents. The capabilities of an ABS
equipped car must never be ex
ploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize
the user’s safety or the safety of
others.
