lamps are lit while the
drive system is running.
ABS and ESP®are malfunctioning. Therefore, BAS, RBS, COLLI-
SION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS, EBD, the HOLD function and hill
start assist are also unavailable, for example.
ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated.
GWARNING
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 front and rear wheels could therefore
lock if you brake hard, for example.
The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affec-
ted. The braking distance in an emergency braking situation can
increase.
If ESP
®is not operational, ESP®is unable to stabilize the vehicle.
There is an increased risk of skidding and an accident.

display.
XDrive on carefully.
