• get out of the vehicle and could either injure
themselves when doing so or they could be

Driving Safety Systems

The vehicle can be equipped with the following
Driving Safety Systems:
• Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
• Electronic brake force distribution (EBV)
• Acceleration skid control (ASR)
• Brake assist system (BAS)
• Electronic stability program (ESP) *
NOTE: The maximum effectiveness of ABS, EBV, ASR
and ESP is only achieved if you drive with correct tire

effectiveness of the ABS and the ESP is only achieved
with winter tires (M+S tires), or snow chains as
