ABS regulates the brake pressure in
such a way that the wheels do not lock
when you brake. This allows you to con-
tinue steering when braking.
ABS works from a speed of about 3 mph
(5 km/h) upwards, regardless of road
surface conditions.
ABS works on slippery surfaces, even
when you only brake gently.
There is a malfunction if the
- indica-
tor lamp is permanently lit while the en-
gine is running (
୴ page 466).
Despite this, the normal driving and
braking functions remain available.
i
Only use wheels with the recom-
mended tire sizes (
୴ page 623), oth-
erwise the driving safety systems will
not work correctly.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning G
Do not depress the brake pedal several
times in quick succession (pumping). De-
press the brake firmly and evenly. Pump-
ing the brake pedal may reduce the
braking effect.
