The brake system continues to function normally, but without the
functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you
brake hard, for example.
G WARNING
If the ABS malfunctions, the wheels may lock during hard braking.
This limits the steerability of the vehicle when braking and may
increase the braking distance. If ABS is deactivated due to a
malfunction, BAS and ESP ®
are also deactivated. There is an
increased risk of skidding and an accident.

G WARNING
With tire pressures which are too low, there is a risk of the
following hazards:
R they may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed
increase.
R they may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly
impair tire traction.
R the driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may
be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
X Stop the vehicle without making any sudden steering or braking
maneuvers. Pay attention to the traffic conditions as you do so.
