1994 Mercedes-Benz S500 S600 W140 Owners Manual

Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS warning lamp in the
instrument cluster comes on with the
key in steering lock position 2 and
should go out when the engine is
running.
Warning!
The ABS prevents the wheels from
locking up above a vehicle speed of
approximately 2 mph (3 km/h)
Even the ABS cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from acting
on the vehicle. The ABS cannot
independent of road surface conditions.
It is necessary, however, that the
vehicle speed reaches at least 5 mph
prevent accidents, including those
resulting from excessive speed in
turns, following another vehicle too
closely, or aquaplaning. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can
prevent accidents. The capabilities of
an ABS equipped car must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the
user's safety or the safety of others.
If the charging voltage falls below 10
volts, the warning lamp comes on and
the ABS is switched off. When the
voltage is above this value again, the
warning lamp should go out and the
ABS will be operational.
(8
km/h) before commencing to brake.
At the instant one of the wheels is
about to lock up, a slight pulsation can
be felt in the brake pedal, indicating
that the ABS is in the regulating mode.
If the ABS warning lamp does not go
out or comes on while driving, it
indicates that the ABS has detected a
malfunction and has switched off. In
this case, the brake system functions in
the usual manner, but without antilock
assistance.
On slippery road surfaces, the ABS
will respond even with only slight
brake pedal pressure. The pulsating
brake pedal can be an indication of
hazardous road conditions and
functions as a reminder to take extra
care while driving.
Note:
To alert following vehicles to slippery
road conditions you discover,  operate
your hazard warning  flashers as
appropriate.
Have the system checked at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as
soon as possible.
