Brakes and brake assist systems

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Information on braking
Handbrake
Stabilisation Control (ESC)
Antilock brake system (ABS)
Traction control system (ASR)
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
WARNING
The brake booster only operates when the engine is running. Greater physi-
■
cal effort for braking is required when the engine is switched off - risk of acci-
dent!
Depress the clutch pedal when stopping or braking a vehicle with a petrol
■
engine and manual transmission in the low rev range. If you fail to do so, the
functionality of the brake booster can be impaired - risk of accident!
If a front spoiler, full wheel trim, etc. is mounted retrospectively, it must be
■
ensured that the air supply to the front wheel brakes is not reduced. Other-
wise, the functionality of the brake system could be impaired - risk of acci-
dent!
Please note that the handbrake must be fully released. A handbrake which
■
is only partially released can result in the rear brakes overheating, which can

have a negative effect on the operation of the brake system - risk of accident!
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. The children might, for ex-
■
ample, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The vehicle
might then move off - risk of accident!
A lack of fuel can cause irregular engine running or cause the engine to shut
■
down. The brake assist systems would then be without function - risk of acci-
dent!
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road and
■
traffic conditions. The increased safety offered by the brake assist systems
must not tempt you to take greater risks than otherwise - risk of an accident!

The normal braking system is still fully functional if there is an ABS fault.
■
Visit a specialist garage immediately and adjust your style of driving according
to the damage to the ABS as you will not know how great the damage is and
the limitation it is placing on the braking efficiency.
