Function of ABS
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) regulates the
brake pressure in critical driving situations:
During braking, e.g. at full brake application
R
or insufficient tire 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.

Functions of Off-road ABS
% Off-road ABS is activated automatically when
you select the F or G drive program.
Off-road ABS is specially adapted for driving off-
road:
The front wheels lock cyclically during brak‐
R
ing.
The braking distance is shortened due to the
R
digging-in effect.
System limits
Off-road ABS functions at speeds below
R
25 mph (40 km/h).
If Off-road ABS intervenes, the ability to steer
R
may be restricted.
