Question 1: I have a steep driveway and sometimes RAB kicks in. Which I think is expected as the manual. but sometimes I forget to turn RAB off and the brakes are applied. Also, in the winter, I may backup into the small snow bank the plowing left behind, and the brakes will slam. I would like to know if it could be damageable to have the RAB kick in too often.

Question 2: What is that loud noise when RAB kicks in? ABS?

Thank you!

Michel

1. No more than you manually applying the brakes hard.

2. Yes, ABS. I get a loud noise as well from my shorts. But that is another story for another day.

I am running the same scenario. My driveway is pretty steep too, every time back out the car, the RAB applies.

Is there a way to ignore the steep bottom detection?

Thanks,

You either have to hit the bottom of the DW more slowly, or shut the RAB off.
Put your finger on it for 2 seconds.

Does it kick in when backing into the driveway? I know the angle is the same, but if it doesn't then you could try changing your driveway routine.

When you put the gear in reverse, in the left-bottom corner, you will see a "RAB ON" soft button. Hold it for a couple seconds to turn it off, it will show "RAB OFF".

Note: if you just started the car, it may take some time for the button to be "clickable" (greyed out).
