This chapter describes model-specific equip-  
ment, systems, and functions that are currently  
available, or may become available in the fu-  
ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.  
The brake assistant automatically applies  
maximum braking assistance when the brake  
pedal is depressed quickly. This reduces the  
braking distance to a minimum for full braking.  
Additional information:  
To make full use of braking assistance, do not  
reduce the pressure on the brake pedal during  
full braking.  
Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.  
Antilock Braking System  
Dynamic Stability Control  
Principle  
Principle  
The Antilock Braking System prevents locking  
of the wheels during the braking process.  
Dynamic Stability Control helps keep the vehi-  
cle on a steady course in critical driving situa-  
tions. The drive power is reduced depending  
on the situation, and wheels can be braked  
individually.  
You remain able to steer your vehicle even dur-  
ing full braking, which increases active driving  
safety.  
General information  
The Antilock Braking System is ready after  
each time drive-ready state is turned on.  
General information  
The system detects the following unstable  
driving conditions, for instance:  
Skidding, which can lead to oversteering.  
Malfunction  
Loss of adhesion of the front wheels, which  
can lead to understeering.  
The warning light on the instrument  
cluster illuminates.  
A Check Control message is displayed.  
Safety information  
Warning  
The Antilock Braking System is not availa-

the system, it cannot independently react to  
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-  
dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust  
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the  
surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready  
Steerability is limited during full braking.
