The red
restraint sys-
tem warning lamp is
lit while the engine is
running.
The restraint system is faulty.
G
WARNING
The airbags or belt tensioners may either be triggered unin-
tentionally or, in the event of an accident, may not be trig-
gered.
This poses an increased risk of injury.
X
Drive on carefully.
X
Have the restraint system checked at a qualified specialist
workshop immediately.
For further information about the restraint system, see
(Y page 38).
J ÷ !
The red brake system
warning lamp,
the yel-
low ESP
®
warning lamp
and the yellow ABS
warning lamp light up
while the engine is
running.
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 sit-
uation can increase.
If ESP
®
is not operational, ESP
®
is unable to stabilise the
vehicle.
The danger of skidding and having an accident increases.
X
Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible,
paying
attention
to road and traffic conditions. Do not con-
tinue driving under any circumstances.
X
Secure the vehicle against rolling away (Y page 138).
X
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
J
