of the braking effort in straight-line braking
without a loss of vehicle stability.
If the ABS malfunctions, the wheels may lock
during hard braking, reducing steering
capability and extending the braking distance.
G Warning!
If the EBP malfunctions, the brake system will
still function with full brake boost. However,
the rear wheels could lock up during
emergency braking situations, for example.
You could lose control of the vehicle and
cause an accident.
Off-road ABS
With the off-road driving program switched
on, or with the transmission in LOW RANGE
mode, the ABS designed for off-road driving
is activated automatically.
Adapt your driving style to the changed
driving characteristics.
When applying the brakes at speeds below
18
mph (30 km/h), the front wheels are
locked cyclically to shorten the braking
distance (dig-in effect). This will restrict
steering the vehicle.

BAS
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) is
operational as soon as the engine is running.
It monitors the vehicle’s traction (force of

very quickly, the BAS provides full brake
boost automatically, thereby potentially
reducing the braking distance.

on the ignition. It goes out when the engine
is running.
If the BAS malfunctions, the brake system still
functions, but without the additional brake
boost available that the BAS would normally
provide in an emergency braking maneuver.
Therefore, the braking distance may increase.

engaged.
