Antilock Brake System (ABS) Important ! The ABS improves steering control of the vehicle during braking maneuvers. Do not pump the brake pedal, rather use firm, steady brake pedal pressure. Pu mping the brake pedal defeats the pur pose for ABS and significantly reduces braking effectiveness. The ABS prevents the wheels from locking up above a vehicl e speed of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) independent of road surface conditions. At the instant one of the wheels is about to lock up, a slight pulsation can be felt in the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is in the regulating mode. Keep firm and steady pressure on the brake pedal while experiencing the pulsation. On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will re spond even with light brake pedal pressure because of the increased likelihood of locking wheels. The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication of hazardous road conditions and functions as a reminder to take extra care while driving. ABS Control The ABS malfunction indicator lamp in the instrument cl uster comes on with the electronic key in steering lock position 2 and should go out when the engine is running. If the charging voltage falls below 10 volts, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on and the ABS is switched off. When the voltage is above this value again, the malfunction indicator lamp should go out and the ABS is operational. With the ABS malfunctioning, the ASR or ESP, if vehicl e so equipped, are also switched off. Both malfunction indicator lamps come on with the engine running. If the ABS malfunction indicator lamp does not go out or comes on while driving, it indicates that the ABS has detected a malfunction and has switched off. In this case, the brake system functions in the usual manner, but without antilock assistance. Have the system checked at your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as soon as possible. Warning ! ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction made available by the road conditions. The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or aquaplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ABS equipped car must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others. Note: To alert following vehicles to slippery road conditions you discover, operate your hazard warning flashers as appropriate.
