♦ MBA - mechanical brake assistance.
♦ HBA - hydraulic brake assistance.
♦ EDC - Engine Drag Torque Control. Prevents the driving
wheels from locking, if suddenly the accelerator pedal is re‐
leased or when braking with a gear engaged.

♦ ASC - automatic steering control. Recommends to the driver
a change in the steering position, which under certain condi‐
tions can increase the efficiency of the ESC.
♦ HHC - Hill Hold Control. Enables an easy driving off on uphills,
without the vehicle rolling back and also without operating the
locking brake.
♦ TPM (RKA) - System for tyre pressure inspection
♦ RKA (TPM) - Tyre inspection display
♦ BPS - hydraulic assistance of the brake servo unit. Ensures
the brake pressure increase in case of emergencies for ex‐
ample during numerous or steadily forceful brake applications.
♦ RBS - Brake disc dryer system. By means of briefly braking
(unnoticeable to the driver) it ensures that the brake discs of
the front wheels are dry and clean during rainy weather.
♦ TSA - Trailer Stability Assist. The vehicle tension stability sys‐
tem is a Software upgrade of the brake and stability control
ESC which avoids the dangerous swaying of the trailer.

not carried out immediately (use plugs from repair kit 1HO 698
311 A).
♦ Do not use fluffy cloths.
♦ Remove spare parts from their wrapping immediately before
fitting.
♦ Use only genuine wrapped parts.
♦ When the system is open, do not work with compressed air
and do not move the vehicle.
♦ Ensure that no brake fluid is able to flow into the connectors.
♦ Observe the relevant instructions when handling brake fluid.
♦ After completing work which involved opening the brake sys‐
tem, bleed brake system with brake filling and bleeding de‐
vice , e.g. -VAS 5234- .
♦ During the final road test, ensure that at least one controlled
brake application is performed

Note
♦ Only then remove plugs from the new hydraulic unit when the
relevant brake line is installed.
♦ If the plugs were already removed from the hydraulic unit, then
brake fluid may escape and adequate filling and bleeding of
the unit can no longer be guaranteed.
♦ Make sure that the rubber bearings are not pressed out of the
console when installing the bracket. After installing, check the
ABS control unit for tight fit, otherwise failure may be caused
by a malfunctioning.
