brake cannot be released you should obtain
professional assistance. If the parking brake
can be released but the warning lamp/message

cause an increased accident risk. Stop the
vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain profes
sional assistance.

er with the ABS indicator lamp and the ESC
indicator lamp, this can mean that the con
trol function of the ESC/ABS is not working.

ways. Drive carefully to the nearest qualified
works hop and have the fault rectified.
