♦ XDS - Extension of the electronic differential lock. It reacts
when the front inside wheel lifts during fast cornering. XDS
intervenes by using braking pressure on the inside wheel, in
order to prevent spinning. In doing so, the traction improves
and the track stability of the vehicle increases.
1.3 Safety precautions, basic information on
fault finding and on repairing
♦ ABS is a vehicle security system, in-depth knowledge of the
system is required for working on such systems. Testing and
replacement or repairs should be carried out by personnel
specially trained for ABS.
♦ Faults are indicated by the ABS warning light , the red brake
system warning light and the warning light for ESP (ESC) .
Certain faults are not detected until after a minimum speed of
20 km/h has been exceeded (conduct a road test).
♦ If the ABS warning light and the brake system warning light do
not light up and if in spite of this the brake system is not fully
operational, look for the fault in the conventional brake system
