ABS has been deactivated due to undervoltage.
The battery may not be being charged.
The brake system continues to function with the nor-
mal braking effect but with no electronic support.
The wheels could therefore lock up, for example if
the brakes are applied with maximum force.
\1Continue driving, but with even greater
care.
\1Have the system checked at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer as soon as possi-
ble.

2 Over the course of a brake fluid’s service life, its boiling point falls due to the continuous absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. If the boiling point
of the brake fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving on long downhill stretches).
This has a detrimental effect on braking efficiency, which could increase the stopping distance. This increases the risk of an accident. Have the brake fluid
renewed every 2 years.
