Brakes
The mechanical!acoustic brake pad
display
The car is equipped with a mechanical!
acoustic brake pad display. If you can
hear a continuous noise from the front
axle when braking, you should take the car
to a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
smart center.
Hydraulic brake assistant
The hydraulic brake assistant is activated
in emergency braking situations.
When you quickly depress the brake pedal,
the hydraulic brake assistant
automatically amplifies the brake force,
thereby decreasing the braking distance.
! Depress and hold the brake pedal until
the emergency braking situation has
passed.
>abs will prevent the wheels from
locking up.
>When you release the brake pedal, the
brakes will function as they normally
would.
>The hydraulic brake assistant is then
deactivated.
Anti!lock braking system (abs)
The anti!lock braking system prevents the
wheels from locking up when braking.
Steering control is retained and you can
therefore take evasive action to avoid
obstacles.
>Important!
! The abs system has intervened when the
brake pedal starts to pulsate.
! abs is only effective during emergency
braking manoeuvres and when at least
one wheel is locked up.
Braking using abs
In emergency situations:
! Quickly depress the brake pedal as
hard as you can.
! Steer around the obstacle.
>The vehicle remains under control.
>Note!
Continue to apply the brakes even when
the pedal starts to pulsate. This way you
will achieve maximum deceleration.
Accident risk!
The risk of accidents increases
! if you drive too fast, particularly
into corners,
! on wet and slippery surfaces,
! if you drive too close to the vehicle
in front.
abs and esp can reduce this risk but not
exclude it entirely. Always adapt your
driving style to the prevailing road,
traffic and weather conditions.
