Functions of ABS (anti-lock braking system)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
During braking, the wheels are prevented
R
from blocking, for example due to maximum
full-stop braking or insufficient traction of the
tires.
Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
R
ABS is active from speeds of approx. 5 mph
R
(8 km/h).
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.
