Possible causes are:
R Self-diagnosis is not yet complete.
R The on-board voltage may be insufficient.
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 regenerative brak-
ing effect by applying the brake yourself.
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 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.
X Carefully drive a short distance on a suitable stretch of road, making
slight steering movements at a speed above 12 mph (20 km/h).
