Functions of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
During braking, e.g. at maximum full-stop
R
braking or insufficient tire traction, the
wheels are prevented from locking.
Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
R
If ABS intervenes 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 serve as a reminder to take
extra care while driving.

R
25 mph (40 km/h).
If Off-road ABS intervenes, the ability to steer
R
may be restricted.

emergency braking situation with additional
brake force.

R
sure.
