ADAPTIVE BRAKE system
The ADAPTIVE BRAKE brake control system, which is
already used in the model 204 sedan and wagon, is
also used in the new GLK-Class.
The ADAPTIVE BRAKE system incorporates the ABS
and ASR control functions essential for traction and
vehicle dynamics as well as a yawing moment control
function. The BAS function, the cruise control and the
tire pressure loss warning system, as well as the
enhancement functions of Hill Start Assist, dry braking
and precharging, are included as before. This
improves the performance of the vehicle in terms of
traction potential and driving safety both on the road
and offroad. The ESP
®
trailer stabilization function is
also installed as standard. The sway of the tractor-
trailer combination is also reduced by brake interven-
tions at individual wheels.
