 Driving safety systems

In this section, you will find information 
about the following driving safety systems: 
 ABS (Antilock Brake System)
 BAS (Brake Assist)
 ESP

®

 (Electronic Stability Program)

 ASR (acceleration skid control)
 EBV (electronic brake force distribu-

tion)

ABS regulates the brake pressure in such a 
way that the wheels do not lock when you 
brake. This allows you to continue steering 
when braking.

ABS works from a speed of about 3 mph 
(5 km/h) upwards, regardless of road sur-
face conditions.

ABS works on slippery surfaces, even 
when you only brake gently.

There is a malfunction if the - indicator 
lamp is permanently lit while the engine is 
running (

Despite this, the normal driving and brak-
ing functions remain available.

i

The maximum effect of ABS, BAS, 
ESP

®

, ASR and EBV can only be 

achieved if you:
 always drive with the correct tire 

pressures adjusted according to 
the load (

 use winter tires (M+S tires) in win-

try conditions, with snow chains if 
necessary

G

There is an increased risk of an accident if 
you:

 drive too fast, in particular when corner-

ing and on a wet or slippery road surface

 drive too close to the vehicle in front
The driving safety systems described in this 
section cannot reduce this risk and are un-
able to override the laws of physics.

Always adapt your driving style to the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions, and 
maintain an adequately safe distance from 
other road users as well as any obstacles on 
the road.

i

Only use wheels with the recommend-
ed tire sizes (

 page 367), otherwise 

the driving safety systems will not work 
correctly.

G

Do not depress the brake pedal several 
times in quick succession (pumping). De-
press the brake firmly and evenly. Pumping 
the brake pedal may reduce the braking ef-
fect.
