Operation

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

~1min read

The ABS system prevents the wheels from locking during braking. The vehicle remains steerable even when the driver fully depresses the brake pedal.

This improves the active safety of the vehicle.

The ABS system is ready for operation after every engine start. Refer to “Safe braking.”
