Function of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:

R
or insufficient tyre traction, the wheels are
prevented from locking.
Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
R
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.
System limitations
ABS is active from speeds of approx.
R
8 km/h.
