the 0089, 00BBand0025 warning lamps light up in the instrument
cluster.
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the
functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you
brake hard, for example.
G WARNING
If the ABS malfunctions, the wheels may lock during hard braking.
This limits the steerability of the vehicle when braking and may
increase the braking distance. If ABS is deactivated due to a
malfunction, BAS and ESP ®
are also deactivated. There is an
increased risk of skidding and an accident.

Operator's Manual display messages must not be shown in
the multifunction display. Wait for a period of at least
60 seconds until the necessary system checks have been
completed. This is necessary and ensures that the display
messages do not appear in the multifunction display.
If these conditions are fulfilled, the front-passenger seat can be
