Fu nctions of ABS (anti-lock braking sy st em)
ABS re gulates th e brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations: R
During braking, e.g. at maximum full-s to p
braking or insuf fi cient traction of th e tires,
th e wheels are pr ev ented from blocking.R
Ve hicle st eerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS inter ve nes when braking, yo u will fe el a
pulsing in th e brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous ro ad
conditions and can ser ve as a re minder to ta ke
ex tra care while driving.
Sy st em limitations R
ABS is active from speeds of appr ox . 5 mp h
(8 km/h). R
ABS may be impaired or may not function if a
malfunction has occur re d and th e ye l‐
low % ABS wa rn ing lamp lights up contin‐
uously in th e instrument clus te r af te r th e
engine is st ar te d. Fu nction of BA S (Brake Assist Sy st em)

WA RNING Risk of an accident caused by
a malfunction in BA S (Brake Assi st Sys‐
te m)
If BA S is malfunctioning, th e braking dis ta nce
in an emergency braking situation is
increased.
