Tips on braking with ABS

Tips on braking with ABS
In critical driving situations in which emergency braking
is required, the ABS Antilock Braking System provides you
with safe and effective support. ABS keeps your vehicle directionally stable and steerable, even in emergency-
braking situations.

You should observe the following instructions when emergency braking with ABS:

  • Press the brake pedal quickly and hard all the way down.
  • Keep the brake pedal pressed until the vehicle has come
    to a stop.
  • If necessary, steer around the obstacle.

The pulsation of the brake pedal and a clicking noise tell you that ABS is active. These are the ABS braking intervals.

In each case, keep the brake pedal pressed and steer
to avoid any potential obstacle. The vehicle is constantly steerable thanks to ABS and responds to your steering
input.
