G WARNING
The braking performance of the electric motor using recuperative braking may be either reduced or not effective. If you do not make
an additional effort to apply the brake yourself, the braking effect may not be sufficient. If necessary, counteract the reduced regen-erative braking effect by applying the brake yourself.
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listed above.
The braking distance in an emergency braking situation can thus
increase.
If ESP ®
is not operational, ESP ®
is unable to stabilize the vehicle.
There is an increased risk of skidding and an accident.
X Carefully drive a suitable distance, making slight steering move-
ments at a speed above 12 mph (20 km/h).
If the display message disappears, the functions mentioned
above are available again.
