Brake functions
The car's brakes are used to reduce the speed
or prevent the car from rolling.
Besides the foot brake and parking brake, the
car is equipped with several automatic brake
assist functions. These can assist the driver by
not needing to keep his/her foot on the brake
pedal when stationary at a traffic light, or when
starting on an uphill gradient.
Depending on the car's equipment, the follow-
ing auto braking functions are available:
• Braking when stationary
• Auto braking after a collision
• Inching - the car is held stationary depending
on the setting selected
• Assistance at risk of collision

Foot brake
The foot brake is part of the brake system.
The car is equipped with two brake circuits. If a
brake circuit is damaged, the brake pedal will
engage deeper. Higher pressure on the pedal
will therefore be needed to produce the normal
braking effect.
If the foot brake is used when the car is switched
off, greater pedal pressure is required to brake
the car.
Anti-lock braking system
The car has anti-lock brakes (ABS
138
), which
prevents the wheels from locking while braking
and allows maintained steering control.
A short test of the ABS system is made auto-
matically after the car has been started when
the driver releases the brake pedal. A further
automatic test of the system may be made at
low speed.
Light braking charges the battery
Under light braking, the car's kinetic energy is
converted into energy which is used to charge
the battery. Battery charging is indicated in the
driver display.
The driver display indicates charging.
