OFF and
RBS/brake system warning lamps are lit while the drive system is running.
ABS is temporarily unavailable. BAS, Active Brake Assist, ESP ®
, EBD (Electronic
Brake-force Distribution), the HOLD function and hill start assist are also deacti-
vated, for example.
Possible causes are:
R Self-diagnosis is not yet complete.
R The on-board voltage may be insufficient.
ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated.
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 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 exam- ple.
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 a risk of an accident.
X Carefully drive a suitable distance, making slight steering movements at a speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h).
The functions mentioned above are available again when the warning lamp goes
out.
If the warning lamp is still on: X Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction display.
X Drive on carefully.

The yellow tire pressure monitor warning lamp (pressure loss/malfunction) is lit.
The tire pressure monitor has detected a loss of pressure in at least one of the tires.
G WARNING
Tire pressures that are too low pose the following hazards: R they may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed increase
R they may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly impair tire trac-
tion.
R the driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may be greatly
impaired
There is a risk of an accident.
X Stop the vehicle without making any sudden steering or braking maneuvers. Pay
attention to the traffic conditions as you do so.
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away (Y page 128).
X Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction display.
X Check the tires and, if necessary, follow the instructions for a flat tire
(Y page 241).
X Check the tire pressure (Y page 263).
X If necessary, correct the tire pressure. 0077

Important safety notes G
WARNING
When you load the roof, the center of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the driving character- istics change. If you exceed the maximum roof
load, the driving characteristics, as well as
steering and braking, will be greatly impaired.There is a risk of an accident.
Never exceed the maximum roof load and
adjust your driving style.
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section
(Y page 286).
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof load
may become detached from the vehicle. You
must therefore ensure that you observe the roof
carrier manufacturer's installation instructions.
