Function of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
ABS controls the brake pressure in critical situations:
the wheels are prevented from locking when braking, e.g. during maximum full-stop braking or when there is insufficient tyre traction
the steerability of the vehicle in terms of physical possibilities is ensured when braking
If ABS intervenes, you will feel pulsations in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake pedal may be an indication of hazardous road conditions and functions as a reminder to take extra care while driving.
System limits
ABS is active from a speed of approx. 4 km/h.
If the
warning lamp lights up continuously in the instrument cluster after the engine is started, a malfunction has occurred. ABS may then be impaired or may not function.
