These systems provide assistance by e.g. the
driver not needing to depress the brake pedal
at a traffic light, when starting up a hill or
when driving down a hill.
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped,
the following brake assist functions may be
included:

STARTING AND DRIVING
Brakes
The brake pedal is used to apply the vehicle's
regular brakes, which are part of the brake
system.
The vehicle is equipped with two brake cir-
cuits. If one brake circuit is damaged, the
brake pedal will go down further when
depressed. More pressure will then be
required from the driver for normal braking
effect.
WARNING
The power brakes only work when the
electric motor or combustion engine is run-
ning.
If the brake pedal is used when the engine is
switched off, greater pressure must be applied
to brake the vehicle.
In very hilly areas or when driving with a heavy
load, gear position B can be used to augment
the brakes with engine braking.
Use the Off Road drive mode to increase the
engine braking effect when driving on steep
downgrades at low speeds.
Anti-lock brakes
The vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock
2
Braking System (ABS
), which helps prevent
the wheels from locking and helps maintain
steering control when braking. Vibrations may
