This device may not cause interference,
and
2.
This device must withstand any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Any unauthorized modification to this
device could void the user's authority to

Overview of driving safety systems
In this section, you will find information about i In wintry driving conditions, always use
the following driving safety systems:
RABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
RBAS (Brake Assist System)
RBAS PLUS (Brake Assist System Plus*)
RESP® (Electronic Stability Program)
REBD (Electronic Brake-power Distribution)
RADAPTIVE BRAKE
winter tires (M+S tires) and if necessary,
snow chains. Only in this way will the
driving safety systems described in this
section work as effectively as possible.

G Warning
Do not pump the brake pedal. Use firm, steady
brake pedal pressure instead. Pumping the
brake pedal defeats the purpose of the ABS
and significantly reduces braking
effectiveness.
The following factors increase the risk of
accidents:
RExcessive speed, especially in turns
RWet and slippery road surfaces
RFollowing another vehicle too closely
ABS regulates brake pressure in such a way
that the wheels do not lock when you brake.
This allows you to continue steering the
vehicle when braking.
The driving safety systems described in this
section cannot reduce these risks or prevent
the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle. They cannot increase braking or
steering efficiency beyond that afforded by
the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires
or the traction afforded.
ABS works from a speed of about
5
mph (8 km/h) upwards, regardless of road-
surface conditions. ABS works on slippery
surfaces, even when you only brake gently.
