Entire brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp
J lights up together with the brake warning lamp
H ⇒ page 70 (with the handbrake released), this indicates not only a fault
in the ABS function, but probably also a malfunction in the main brake system
⇒ .
The symbol
H will light up in the instrument panel if a fault occurs in the
brake system. Please refer to ⇒ page 77.
Electronic differential lock (EDL) fault
The EDL works in conjunction with the ABS. The ABS indicator lamp will light
up
J to indicate an EDL fault. Please take the vehicle to a qualified workshop
as soon as possible. For further information on the EDL, see ⇒ page 193.
WARNING
• Before opening the bonnet and checking the brake fluid level, observe
the warning information in ⇒ page 229, “Work in the engine compart-
ment”.
• If the brake warning lamp H should light up together with the ABS
warning lamp
J, stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir. If the fluid level has dropped below the "MIN" mark
you must not drive on, as there is a risk of accident. Obtain technical assist-
ance.
• If the brake fluid level is correct, the fault in the brake system may have
been caused by a fault in the ABS control function. As a result, the rear
wheels can lock relatively easily when braking. Under certain circum-
stances, the rear of the vehicle could suddenly sway from side to side, with
the subsequent danger of skidding. Drive carefully to the nearest special-
ised workshop and have the fault repaired.
Seat belt warning lamp* h
The warning lamp acts as a reminder to the driver to fasten
the seat belt.
After switching on the ignition, the warning lamp will remain lit until the
driver and front passenger (if applicable) have fastened their seat belts.
When the vehicle has reached a certain speed, you will also hear a warning
signal and the warning light will flash.
For further information on the seat belts, see ⇒ page 22.
Turn signals and hazard warning lights
Depending on which turn signal is operated, either the left or right turn
signal lamp flashes. Both turn signal lamps will flash when the hazard
warning lights are switched on.
If a turn signal fails, the indicator lamp will start flashing twice as fast as
normal.
This does not apply when towing a trailer. Where a turn signal bulb does not
work, either on the trailer or on the towing vehicle, the turn signal bulb will
not flash. For further information on the turn signals, see ⇒ page 123.
