̄ Driving safety systems
In this section, you will find information
about the following driving safety sys-
tems:
ț ABS (Antilock Brake System)
ț BAS (Brake Assist)
ț ESP
® (Electronic Stability Program)
ț ASR (acceleration skid control)
ț EBV (electronic brake force distribu-
tion)
i
The maximum effect of ABS, BAS,
ESP
® , ASR and EBV can only be
achieved if you:
ț always drive with the correct tire
pressures adjusted according to
the load (
୴ page 361)
ț use winter tires (M+S tires) in
wintry conditions, with snow
chains if necessary
Warning
G
There is an increased risk of an accident if
you:
ț drive too fast, in particular when corner-
ing and on a wet or slippery road surface
ț drive too close to the vehicle in front
The driving safety systems described in
this section cannot reduce this risk and
are unable to override the laws of physics.
Always adapt your driving style to the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions, and
maintain an adequately safe distance
from other road users as well as any ob-
stacles on the road.
