Driving and safety systems
Continuous steady brake pedal pressure
yields the advantages provided by the ABS,
namely braking power and the ability to
steer the vehicle.
Braking
LOW RANGE– ABS
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.
During off-road driving a special low range
system for the antilock brake system (ABS)
is operational with transfer case in position
LOW (୴ page 141).
On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will re-
spond even with light brake pressure. The
pulsating brake pedal can be an indication
of hazardous road conditions and func-
tions as a reminder to take extra care while
driving.
̈
Keep firm and steady pressure on the
brake pedal while experiencing the pul-
sation.
An improved braking action (dig-in effect)
is obtained for vehicle speeds up to
37 mph (60 km/h) through a change in the
ABS control function.
Emergency brake maneuver
More information can be found in the
“Practical hints” section (୴ page 240).
i
̈
Keep continuous full pressure on the
brake pedal.
To alert following vehicles to slippery
road conditions you discover, operate
your hazard warning flashers as appro-
priate.
i
If the ABS is malfunctioning, the BAS,
EBB, ESP and 4-ETS are also switched
off.
The - warning lamp in the instrument
cluster (୴ page 24) lights up when you
turn the key to position 2. It goes out when
the engine is running.
Normal driving and braking functions
are still available.
