ABS
u 3
The ABS (anti-lock brake system)
continuously monitors the vehicle's brake
system and prevents the wheels from
locking, irrespective of the road condition
and tyre grip.
It starts to regulate the braking pressure as
soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock.
The vehicle remains steerable, even in the
event of very heavy braking, for instance
on bends or when swerving to avoid an
obstacle. Even in the case of full-on
braking, the ABS makes it possible to drive
round an obstacle without releasing the
brakes.
ABS control is made apparent through a
pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of
the regulation process.
Brakes

Warning
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that the
pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the
pressure on the pedal.
Do not let this special safety feature
tempt you into taking risks when driving.
Traffic safety can only be achieved by
adopting a responsible driving style.
