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.

R
(8 km/h).
ABS may be impaired or may not function if a
R

low ! ABS warning lamp lights up contin‐
uously in the instrument cluster after the
engine is started.

& WARNING Risk of an accident caused by
a malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist Sys‐
tem)

in an emergency braking situation is
increased.
