ProblemPossible causes/consequences and Solutions
The yellow ABS warning
lamp is lit while the
engine is running.
ABS is temporarily unavailable. BAS, COLLISION PREVENTION
ASSIST, COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS, ESP®, EBD
(electronic brake force distribution), the HOLD function and hill
start assist, for example, are therefore also deactivated.
Possible causes are:
Rself-diagnosis is not yet complete.
Rthe on-board voltage may be insufficient.
ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated.
GWARNING
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 a risk of an accident.
XCarefully drive a suitable distance, making slight steering
movements at a speed above 12 mph (20 km/h).
The functions mentioned above are available again when the
warning lamp goes out.
If the warning lamp is still on:
XObserve the additional display messages in the multifunction
display.
