General
In offroad use, the off-road program function extends the normal ABS. Transition from normal ABS function to the off-road program is smooth under the defined vehicle speed.
Function requirements
Vehicle speed below 30 km/h
Off-road program activated
Function
The off-road ABS is activated if the off-road button is pressed.
If the stretch of road is bad, the off-road ABS regulates a cyclical block on the front wheels. For this, the front wheels dig a bit into the ground, the so-called dig-in effect. Depending on the ground type, the braking distance to vehicle stillstand in off-road use can be significantly reduced compared to braking regulated with the usual ABS. In situations with extreme downhill slopes, it is only the off-road program that makes stopping possible.
