on more quickly and efficiently.
Do not reduce pressure on the brake pedal! BAS switches off automatically as soon as you release
or let up on the brake.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDL)
EDL is applied during regular straight-line acceleration. EDL gently brakes a drive wheel that has lost
traction (spinning) and redirects the drive force to other drive wheels. In extreme cases, EDL automat‐
ically switches off to keep the brake from overheating. As soon as the brake has cooled down, EDL
automatically switches on again.
XDL is an extension of the Electronic Differential Lock system. XDL detects slippage of the inside
front wheel during fast cornering. XDL applies enough brake pressure to this wheel in order to stop
the slippage. This improves traction, which helps the vehicle stay on track.
Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
In an accident, the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System can help the driver to reduce the risk of
skidding and the danger of secondary collisions through automatic braking.
The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System only works if the airbag control unit registers the corre‐
sponding triggering threshold during the accident, and the accident occurs at a speed greater than
6mph (10km/h).
The ESC brakes the vehicle automatically, provided that the hydraulic braking system, the ESC, and
the electrical system are undamaged and stay functional.
The following actions override automatic braking in the event of an accident:
When the driver depresses the accelerator.
When the brake pressure transmitted through the depressed brake pedal is greater than the brake
pressure provided by the system.
WARNING
Driving fast on icy, slippery, or wet roads can lead to a loss of control and result in serious per‐
sonal injury for you and your passengers.
Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.
Never let the additional safety that ESC, ABS, BAS, ASR, and EDL can provide tempt you into
