Function of ABS
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) regulates the brake pressure in critical driving situations:
  • During braking, e.g. at full brake application or insufficient tyre traction, the wheels are prevented from locking.

  • Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.

If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication of hazardous road conditions and can serve as a reminder to take extra care while driving.

System limits
  • ABS is active from speeds of approx. 8 km/h.

  • ABS may be impaired or may not function if a malfunction has occurred and the yellow ABS warning lamp lights up continuously in the instrument cluster after the engine is started.
