For those vehicles fitted with ESC*, the “Steering manoeuvre recommenda-

Emission control system*
Control lamp flashes:
When there is misfiring that can damage the catalytic converter. Reduce
speed and drive carefully to the nearest specialised workshop to have the
engine checked.
The instrument panel displays the following message
1)
: EXHAUST GAS SEE
WORKSHOP.
The control lamp lights up:
If a fault has developed during driving which has reduced the quality of the
exhaust gas (e.g. lambda probe fault). Reduce speed and drive carefully to
the nearest specialised workshop to have the engine checked.
The following message is shown in the instrument panel display: EXHAUST
GAS SEE WORKSHOP.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)* /
There are two control lamps for the electronic stability control. The lamp
provides information concerning the function and the disconnection sta-
tus.
Both warning lamps light up together when the ignition is switched on and
should turn off after approximately 2 seconds. This is the time taken for the
function check.
This programme includes the ABS, EDL and ASR. This also includes the
brake assistance system (BAS), automatic cleaning of the brake discs and
the trailer stability programme (TSP).
The warning lamp has the following functions:
● It flashes whilst driving when the ASR/ESC is activated.
● It will light up if there is a fault in the ESC.
● As the ESC operates in conjunction with the ABS, it will also light up if a
fault should occur in the ABS.
If the ESC control lamp lights up and stays on after the engine is started,
this may mean that the control system has temporarily switched off the ESC.
In this case the ESC can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and
then on again. If the control lamp goes out, this means the system is fully
functional.
The lamp provides information about the disconnection status of the
system:
● It stays lit when the ASR is disconnected when pressing the switch.
Differential lock fault (EDL)*
The EDL operates along with the ABS in vehicles equipped with Electronic
Stability Control (ESC)*.
A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the ABS control lamp . Take the
vehicle to a specialised workshop as soon as possible. For further informa-
tion on the EDL see ⇒ page 171, Electronic differential lock (EDL)*.
