Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Information for braking
Handbrake
Stabilisation control (ESC)
Antilock brake system (ABS)
Traction control (TC)

Electronic differential lock (EDL)
WARNING
The brake booster only operates when the engine is running. Greater physi-
■
cal effort for braking is required when the engine is switched off - risk of acci-
dent!
Depress the clutch pedal when stopping or braking a vehicle with a petrol
■
engine and manual transmission in the low rev range. If you fail to do so, the
functionality of the brake booster can be impaired - risk of accident!
If a front spoiler, full wheel trim, etc. is mounted retrospectively, it must be
■
ensured that the air supply to the front wheel brakes is not reduced. Other-
wise, the functionality of the brake system could be impaired - risk of acci-
dent!
