Braking<br />

If ABS cuts in while you are braking, you<br />

will feel the brake pedal pulsate.<br />

When ABS intervenes:<br />

Continue to depress the brake pedal<br />

firmly until the braking situation is over.<br />

For full braking:<br />

Depress the brake pedal with maximum<br />

force.<br />

If ABS has malfunctioned, BAS, ESP<br />

and 4-ETS will also be deactivated.<br />

The normal driving and braking functions<br />

are still available to you.<br />

BAS<br />

Brake Assist supports ABS by boosting<br />

the braking force in an emergency braking<br />

situation. If you depress the brake pedal<br />

quickly, BAS automatically boosts the<br />

braking force and thus shortens the stopping<br />

distance.<br />

i<br />

Continue to depress the brake pedal<br />

firmly, even at maximum deceleration.<br />

4-ETS<br />

4-ETS makes it possible to pull away or accelerate<br />

on a slippery surface. It brakes the<br />

wheels individually before they spin.<br />

4-ETS remains active when you deactivate<br />

ESP. 4-ETS comes into effect if at least one<br />

tyre reaches its tyre grip limit. The system<br />

brakes individual wheels until sufficient<br />

traction is available once more.<br />

4-ETS is no longer active once a road<br />

speed of approximately 60 km/h is exceeded.<br />

The v warning lamp in the instrument<br />

cluster lights up briefly when you start the<br />

engine. This indicates that 4-ETS is operational.<br />

It flashes at any speed if even one tyre has<br />

exceeded its tyre grip limit.
