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 154).
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
For more information, see “Practical hints”
(୴ page 288).
The - indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster (୴ page 24) comes on when you
turn the SmartKey to position 2. It goes
out when the engine is running.
̈
Keep continuous full pressure on the
brake pedal.
i
If the ABS is malfunctioning, the BAS,
EBB, ESP, and 4-ETS are also switched
off.
Normal driving and braking functions
are still available.
