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 traction of the tyres,
the wheels are prevented from blocking.
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 (Brake Assist System)
& WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
a malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist Sys‐
tem)
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergency braking situation is
increased.
Depress the brake pedal with full force
#
in emergency braking situations. ABS
prevents the wheels from locking.
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.
R
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.

The brakes will function as usual once you
release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.
