Vehicle locator lighting
This function allows to locate the
vehicle, e.g., in weak lighting
conditions using the remote control.
The headlights come on and the turn
lights flash for 10 seconds.
Press on the remote control.
Peripheral lighting
Peripheral lighting allows you to
switch on the position lights, low
beam and number plate lighting using
the remote control...
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure
as soon as a wheel shows a tendency
to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process...
