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.
