The ABS brake system is divided diagonally. The servo-assistance is effected pneumatically by the vacuum brake servo unit.
Faults in the ABS do not influence the brake system and servo assistance. The conventional brake system remains functional even without ABS. A change in braking behaviour is to be reckoned with. After the ABS warning lamp comes on, the rear wheels may lock prematurely during braking.
