In this section you will find information on
the following driving safety systems:
ì•« ABS (Antilock Brake System)
ì•« BAS (Brake Assist System)
ì•« ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
ì•« SBC (Sensotronic Brake Control)

In winter operation, the maximum ef-
fectiveness of the ABS, the BAS, the
ESP, and the SBC is only achieved with
winter tires (M+S tires) or snow chains
as required.
Warning! G
The following factors increase the risk of ac-
cidents:
ì•« Excessive speed, especially in turns
ì•« Wet and slippery road surfaces
ì•« Following another vehicle too closely
The ABS, BAS, ESP, and SBC cannot reduce
this risk.
Always adjust your driving style to the pre-
vailing road and weather conditions.
