function Stop See
Operator's Manual
In addition, the ÷, ò and $ (USA) or ÷! and J
(Canada) warning lamps light up in the instrument cluster and a
warning tone sounds.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ESP
®
(Electronic Stability
Program) are malfunctioning. This means that Crosswind Assist
and hill start assist, for example, are also unavailable.
Further driving systems could be switched off automatically.
G
WARNING
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the
functions listed above. The front and rear wheels could therefore
lock if you brake hard, for example.
The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely
affected. The braking distance in an emergency braking situation
can increase.
If ESP
®
is not operational, ESP
®
is unable to stabilize the vehicle.
There is an increased risk of skidding and an accident.
X
Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible, paying
attention to road and traffic conditions. Do not continue driv-
ing under any circumstances.
X
Secure the vehicle against rolling away (Y page 100).
X
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
