ABS (Antilock Brake System)
BAS (Brake Assist System)
The following factors increase the risk of ac-
cidents:
Warning!
Do not pump the brake pedal. Use firm,
steady brake pedal pressure instead. Pump-
ing the brake pedal defeats the purpose of
the ABS and significantly reduces braking
effectiveness.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program)

Excessive speed, especially in turns
Wet and slippery road surfaces
i
Following another vehicle too closely
In winter operation, the maximum ef-
fectiveness of the ABS and ESP is only
achieved with winter tires (M+S tires),
or snow chains as required.
The ABS, BAS and ESP cannot reduce this
risk.
The ABS regulates the brake pressure so
that the wheels do not lock during braking.
This allows you to maintain the ability to
steer your vehicle.
Always adjust your driving style to the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions.
The ABS is functional above a speed of ap-
proximately 5 mph (8 km/h) independent
of road surface conditions.
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. Keep firm and steady
pressure on the brake pedal while experi-
encing the pulsation.
