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.

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.
