ABS: Antilock braking system

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The antilock braking system (ABS) prevents the wheels from blocking on braking. Advantage: short stopping distance, the direction of the vehicle remains stable and the vehicle can be steered. The brake pressure on all wheels is regulated in such a way that each wheel runs in an optimized slip range. Here, the slip is regulated in such a way that the highest possible braking and cornering forces can be transferred.
