lit while the engine is running.
EBD is unavailable due to a malfunction. ABS, BAS, hill start assist and ESP
®as well

ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated and other driving systems could be automati-
cally deactivated.
GWARNING

There is an increased risk of skidding and accidents.
XSwitch the engine off, wait briefly and start the engine again.
XCheck if the display message has disappeared and ESP®is operational.
