132 Driving and parking
Some driving and driving safety systems use
cameras and sensors to monitor the area in
front of, behind or next to the vehicle.
Keep the areas around the sensors and cameras
free of dirt, ice or slush ( page 299). The cam‐
/
eras and sensors must not be covered, for exam‐
ple by bicycle racks, overhanging loads, stickers,
foil or foils to protect against stone chipping.
Additional licence plate brackets can impair the
function of the ultrasonic sensors, in particular.
In the event of damage or a severe impact in the
area of the sensors, have the function of the
sensors checked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Have damage or stone chipping in the area
of the cameras repaired at a qualified specialist
workshop. If the sensors or cameras are dam‐
aged, some driving systems and driving safety
systems may no longer function properly.

Function of ABS
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) regulates the
brake pressure in critical driving situations:
During braking, e.g. at full brake application
R
or insufficient tyre 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.
Function of BAS
The Brake Assist System (BAS) supports your
emergency braking situation with additional
brake force.
If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS is
activated:
BAS automatically boosts the brake pres‐
R
sure.
BAS can shorten the braking distance.
