Driving safety systems Braking
If ABS cuts in while you are braking, you
will feel:
!
the vehicle vibrating
! the brake pedal pulsating
This will indicate to you that ABS has been
acti vated. Always adapt your driving style
to suit the prevai ling road and weather
conditions.
6 Continue to depress the brake pedal,
even when ABS has been activ ated. Brake Assist operates
inemergency brak-
ing situation s.If you depress the brake
pedal quickly, BAS boosts the braking
force automatically and thus shortens the
stopping distance.
6 Depress the brake pedal firm lyuntil the
emergency-braking situation is ove r.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
When you release the brake pedal, the
brakes work as norm al again. BAS is then
deactivated. The Electronic Stabilit
y Program monitors
the traction, i.e. the power transmission
between the tyres and the road, and the
stability of the vehicle.
ESP detects when a wheel is spinning or
when the vehicle has begun to skid. ESP
stabilises the vehicle by applying specific
braking to individual wheels and limiting
the engine power output. ESP assists you
in particular when pulling away on a wet or
slip pery road surface.
If ESP cuts in, the vwarning lamp
flashes in the speedometer.
The v ESP warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when you turn the
key to po sition 2in the ignition lock. It
goes out when the engine is running. This
ind icates that ESP is operational. G
Risk of accident Always adapt your driving style to suit the
prevailin
groad and weather conditions and
maintain a suffi cient distance from other
road users and objects onthe road. BAS
G
Risk of accident If BAS malfunctions, the brake system is still
available with the full brake boosting effect.
In an emer
gency braking situation, however,
th e braking fo rce is not automatically
bo osted and may lengthen the stopping dis-
tance. ESP209en_d2.boo Seite
