R During braking, e.g. at maximum full-s top
braking or insuf ficient tyre traction, the
wheels are pr evented from lock ing.
R Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS inter venes when braking, you will feel a

can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
Yo u do this by limiting the speed between

Shortly before the set speed is reached, it
appears in the multifunction displa y.When you
