Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Braking
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a pulsing in the brake pedal.
► If ABS intervenes: continue to depress the
brake pedal with force until the braking
situation is over.
► To make a full brake application:
depress the brake pedal with full force.
The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication of hazardous road conditions, and functions as a reminder to take extra care while driving.

Do not pump the brake pedal. Use firm, steady
brake pedal pressure instead. Pumping the

effectiveness.
