ABS u
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) 3
continuously monitors the vehicle’s brake
system and prevents the wheels from
locking regardless of roa d condition and
tyre grip.
It starts to regulate the braking p ressure as
soon as a w heel shows a tendency to lock.
The v ehicle remains ste era ble, eve n in the
event of very heavy braking, for instance
on be nds or whe n sw erving to av oid an
obstacle. Even in the case of full-on
braking, the ABS makes it p ossible to drive
round an obsta cle without releasing the
brakes.
AB S control is m ade apparent through a
pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of
the regulation process.
To achieve optimum b ra king, keep the
brake pedal fully depressed throug hout
the braking process, despite the fact
tha t the pedal is pulsa ting. Do not
reduce the pressure on the ped al.
Do not let this special safety feature
tempt you into taking risks when driving.
Traffic safety can only b e achieved by
adopting a responsible driving style.
