regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
R During braking, the wheels are pr evented
from blocking, e.g. due tomaximum full-s top
braking or insuf ficient traction of the tyres.
R Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
R ABS is active from speeds of appr ox.
8 km/h.
If ABS inter venes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
