As a result, you could lose control of the vehi-
cle and cause an accident.
Always adapt your driving style to the prevail-
ing road and weather conditions and maintain
a sufficient, safe distance from other road
users. Avoid full brake applications; except in
emergency situations.
i Even if Stability Control Assist is activated
you can still block the wheels of the trailer/
semitrailer when braking.
Anti-lock protection improves the directional
stability and the steerability of the vehicle or
tractor/trailer combination during braking.
If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you are
inattentive, the driving safety systems can nei-
ther reduce the risk of an accident nor override
the laws of physics. Driving safety systems are
merely aids designed to assist driving. You are
responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good
time. Always adapt your driving style to the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions and main-
tain a sufficient, safe distance from other road
users. Drive carefully.
If ABS is deactivated or if there is a malfunction
in the vehicle's brake system, Active Brake
Assist is automatically deactivated.
When ABS is intervening:
X Continue to depress the brake pedal until the
braking situation is over.
When ABS is intervening, the continuous
brake is switched off. The
Ã
indicator
lamp in the instrument cluster remains on.
During a full brake application:
X Depress the brake pedal with force.
If you want to drive the tractor vehicle with a
trailer/semitrailer with ABS or an electronic
brake system:
X
Connect a control cable to the socket or to the
ABS plug (
Y
page 324).
If you want to drive the semitrailer tractor vehi-
cle without a trailer or with a trailer without ABS:
X Insert the control cable into the blank socket.
Deactivating/activating ABS
G
WARNING
If ABS is deactivated, the wheels may lock
when braked. As a result, the vehicle can no
longer be steered. There is an increased risk
of skidding and an accident.
Always leave ABS on when driving on roads
and firm surfaces.
ABS is automatically activated when you start
the engine. By deactivating ABS, it may be pos-
sible to achieve shorter braking distances on
rough terrain and on unpaved roads, e.g. on soft
ground. You can only deactivate ABS for the
tractor vehicle.
X
Press the upper section of the
q
button.
When the
!
indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up, ABS is deactivated.
BAS (Brake Assist System)
G
WARNING
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased. There is a risk of accident.
In an emergency braking situation, depress
the brake pedal with full force. ABS prevents
the wheels from locking.
BAS operates in emergency braking situations.
If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS
boosts the braking force and thus shortens the
braking distance.
