General 

In order to guarantee safe braking, subsystems intervene by checking, optimizing or regulating.

Function 

Distributing brake force 

In order to prevent the rear wheels from locking, a part of the brake force is transferred from the rear wheels to the front wheels.

Dry braking 

Dry braking improves the response time of the service brake when driving in wet conditions. The brake linings strip the water film from the brake disks.

Precharging brake system 

Precharging of the brake system serves to ensure that the required braking power for the driving situation is reached faster and that the braking distance is shortened.

Amplifying brake force 

The function detects emergency braking situations by means of rapid brake pedal actuation. It increases, if necessary the brake pressure, up the to ABS controlled range, in order to achieve the maximum possible deceleration.
