There is not enough brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
The braking effect may be impaired.
There is ar isk of an accident.X
Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible, paying attention to road
and traffic conditions. Do not continue driving under any circumstances. X

Q The yellow ABS warning lamp is lit while the engine is running.
ABS (anti-lock braking system) is malfunctioning.
If there is an additional warning tone, the EBD (electronic brake force distribution)
is malfunctioning.
Other driving systems and driving safety systems may also malfunction.
G WARNING
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 an increased risk of skidding and an accident. X
Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction display. X
Drive on carefully. X
Visit aq ualified specialist workshop immediately.
If the ABS control unit is faulty, there is also ap ossibility that other systems, such
as the navigation system or the automatic transmission, will not be available.204

General notes The multimedia system section in this manual
describes the basi cp rinciples for operation.
More information can be found in the Digital
Operator's Manual.
Important safety notes
G WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
municatio ne quipment integrated in the vehi-
cle whil ed riving, you wil lbed istracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle .T here is ar isk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the lega lr equirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the multimedia system.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination withou tt aking the following into
account, for example: R
traffic lights R
stop and yield signs R
parking or stopping restrictions R
road narrowing R
other road and traffic rule sa nd regulations
The multimedia system may give incorrect nav-
igation recommendations if the actual street/
traffic situation does not correspond with the
digital map's data.
For example: R
ad iverted route R
the road layout or the direction of ao ne-way
street has been changed
For this reason, you must alway so bserve road
and traffic rule sa nd regulations during your
journey. Roa da nd traffic rule sa nd regulations
alway sh ave priority over multimedia system
driving recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you whil ed riving withou td iverting your
attention from the road and driving. Please alway su se this feature instead of con-
sulting the map display for directions. Looking
at the icons or map display can distract you from
traffic conditions and driving, and increase the
risk of an accident.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equip-
ment and meets the FCC radi of requency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement CtoO ET65.
This equipment has very low level sofRFe nergy
that is deeme dtoc omply withou tm aximum
permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). How-
ever, it is recommended to insta ll it at ad ista
nce
of at least 8i nches (approx. 20 cm) betwee nt he
radiation source and ap erson's body (not
including limb ss uch as hands, wrists, feet and
legs).
G WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as wel lasw iring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle .T here is an increase dr isk of an
accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as wel lase lec-
tronic components or their software .Y ou
