WARNING

When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not raise

your foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current road
conditions.

WARNING

If the ABS system intervenes, this
indicates that the traction of the tyres

on the road is nearing its limit.You must slow
down to a speed compatible with the available
traction.

MSR SYSTEM
(Motor Schleppmoment Regelung)

This system is an integral part of the ABS, that
intervenes, if there is sudden downshifting, restoring
torque to the engine, thereby preventing excessive
drive at the drive wheels which, especially in poor
grip conditions, could lead to a loss in stability of the
car.

MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST (emergency
braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)

This system, which cannot be deactivated, recognises
emergency braking conditions (according to the
brake pedal operation speed) and provides an
additional hydraulic braking pressure to support that
provided by the driver. This allows faster and more
powerful operation of the braking system.

WARNING

When the Mechanical Brake Assist
intervenes, noises may be heard from

the system.This is normal. In any case, keep the
brake pedal firmly depressed while braking.
