WARNING

If you leave animals unattended or unsecured

in the vehicle, they could press buttons or

switches, for example.

As a result, they could:

R

activate vehicle equipment and become

trapped, for example

R

activate or deactivate systems, thereby

endangering other road users

Unsecured animals could also be flung around

the vehicle in the event of an accident or sud-

den steering or braking, thereby injuring vehi-

cle occupants. There is a risk of an accident

and injury.

Never leave animals unattended in the vehi-

cle. Always secure animals properly during

the journey, e.g. use a suitable animal trans-

port box.

Important safety notes

If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you

are inattentive, the driving safety systems can

neither reduce the risk of an accident nor

override the laws of physics. Driving safety

systems are merely aids designed to assist

driving. You are responsible for maintaining

the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle

speed, for braking in good time, and for stay-

ing in lane. Always adapt your driving style to

suit the prevailing road and weather condi-

tions and maintain a safe distance from the

vehicle in front. Drive carefully.

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 336).

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 vehi-

cle 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" sec-

tion (Y page 71).

WARNING

If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when

braking. The steerability and braking charac-

teristics may be severely impaired. Addition-
