The yellow ABS indicator
lamp comes on while
driving.
The ABS has detected a malfunction and
has switched off. The BAS and the ESP
®
are
also switched off (see messages in display).
The brake system is still functioning nor-
mally but without the ABS, the BAS and the
ESP
®
available.
If the ABS control unit is malfunctioning,
other systems such as Parktronic,
Distronic**, the navigation system and the
automatic transmission can also malfunc-
tion.
왘 Continue driving with added caution.
Wheels may lock during hard braking,
reducing steering capability.
왘 Observe additional messages in the
multifunction display.
왘 Have the system checked at an autho-
rized Maybach Studio as soon as possi-
ble.
Failure to follow these instructions in-
creases the risk of an accident.
The charging voltage has fallen below
10 volts and the ABS has switched off.
The batteries may not be sufficiently
charged.
왘 When the voltage is above this value
again, the ABS is operational again
and the ABS indicator lamp should go
out.
If the ABS indicator lamp does not go out:
왘 Have the generator (alternator) and
the batteries checked.
