Important safety notes

If you fail to adapt your driving style or

become distracted, the driving safety

systems can neither reduce the risk of

accident nor override the laws of physics.

Driving safety systems are merely aids

designed to assist driving. You are

responsible for the distance to the vehicle in

front, for vehicle speed and for braking in

good time. Always adapt your driving style to

suit the prevailing road, weather and traffic

conditions and maintain a safe distance from

the vehicle in front. Drive carefully.

i

The driving safety systems described only

work as effectively as possible when there

is adequate contact between the tires and

the road surface. Please pay special

attention to the notes on tires,

recommended minimum tire tread depths,

etc. (Y page 372).

In wintry driving conditions, always use

winter tires (M+S tires) and if necessary,

snow chains. Only in this way will the

driving safety systems described in this

section work as effectively as possible.

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)

General information

ABS regulates brake pressure in such a way

that the wheels do not lock when you brake.

This allows you to continue steering the

vehicle when braking.

The yellow

!

ABS warning lamp in the

instrument cluster lights up when the ignition

is switched on. It goes out when the engine is

running.

Important safety notes

i

Observe the "Important safety notes"

section (Y page 67).

G

WARNING

If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when

braking. The steerability and braking

characteristics may be severely impaired.

Additionally, further driving safety systems

are deactivated. There is an increased danger

of skidding and accidents.

Drive on carefully. Have ABS checked

immediately at a qualified specialist

workshop.

When ABS is malfunctioning, other systems,

including driving safety systems, will also

become inoperative. Observe the information

on the ABS warning lamp (Y page 288) and

display messages which may be shown in the

instrument cluster (Y page 258).
