ASC off and the ABS?

Hey.

I checked the owners manual today and couldn't find an answer to this:

Will ABS be deactivated together with everything else when we hold down the ASC button (ASC off)?

The manual states it deactivates the stabilization (Breaking wheels individually if they spin, even when not breaking) and throttle limiting but doesn't mention the anti-lock breaking from what I read.

It's kinda of a dealbreaker for me if I dare to drive with ASC off cause ABS is a lifesaver for sure when I need to break hard.

abs always functions, you cant turn it off with the button....like the manual says, the button simple turns off auto brake activation(stabilization) and the throttle limit, nothing else

abs does not turn off with the ASC. Abs is a completely seperate function control by the braking system itself.

The only way to turn abs off would be to pull the fuse on the system.
