159Driving an d Operation

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS u)

The ABS continuously monitors the brake

system and prevents the wheels from

locking, independently of the type of road

surface and the 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, even in the

event of very heavy braking, for instance

on bends or when 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 obstacle without releasing the

brakes.

ABS control is made apparent through a

pulse in the brake peda l and the noise of

the regulation process.

Control indicator u for AB S

Illum inate s for a few se cond s a fte r the

ignition is turned on. The system is read y

for operation when the control indicator

goes out.

If the control indicator does not go out

after a few seconds, or if it illuminates

whilst driving, there is a fault in the ABS.

The brake system remains operational

without ABS regulation.

Se lf- ch ec k

Each time the ignition is turned on and the

engine started, after moving away from a

speed of around 2 mph (3 km/h) the system

performs a self-check which may be

audible.

Fault

You can continue driving, provided you

drive with care and anticipation.

Have the cause of the fault rectified by a

workshop. Self-diagnosis integrated into

the system facilitates rapid rectification of

faults.

Wheels, tyres

See page 220 for suitable tyres and

restrictions.

Factory-fitted tyres are matched to the

chassis and offer optimum driving comfort

and safety.

Changing tyre / wheel type

Note the necessary modifications before

switching to different tyres or wheels.

If tyres of a different size than those fitted

at the factory are used, the electronic

speedometer may require reprogramming

to ensure that the correct speed is

displayed.

9 Warning

For optimum braking, keep the brake

pedal fully depressed throughout the

braking process, despite the fact that the

pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the

pressure on the pedal.

Do not let this special safety feature

tempt you into taking risks when driving.

Traffic safety can only be achieved by

adopting a responsib le driving style.

9 Wa rn ing

If there is a fault in ABS, the wheels may

be subject to locking due to braking that

is heavier than normal. The advantages

of ABS are no longer operational.
