G WARNING
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions
listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard, for example.
The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The
braking distance may increase in an emergency braking situation.
If ESP ®

If the ABS control unit is faulty, there is also a possibility that other systems,
such as the navigation system or the automatic transmission, will be unavail- able. Warning and indicator lamps in the instrument cluster
