EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST
This system is complementary to the
ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system allows an emergency brak-
ing situation to be detected via a sensor
that measures the speed with which the
brake pedal is depressed. In this case,
the braking assistance instantly pro-
vides its maximum power.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights
activation
These may light up in the event of rapid
deceleration.
In this case, the hazard warning lights
may be switched off by pressing the
hazard warning lights switch twice.
This function is an addi-
tional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not take
the place of the driver. It does not
increase the vehicle’s limits and
should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the vigilance or re-
sponsibility of the driver when ma-
noeuvring the vehicle (the driver
must always be ready for sudden in-
cidents which may occur when driv-
ing).
