BRAKE SYSTEM 14 The ABS is a safety system that prevents locking of the wheels when driving straight ahead without the influence of lateral forces. Warning Danger of accidents Driving aids can only prevent a rollover within the physical limitations. It is not always possible to compensate for extreme rid- ing situations, for example with luggage loaded with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep descents or full braking without disengaging the gear.
