$J
òN$ (USA only) or J(Canada only): the ABS and brake warning lamps are
lit while the engine is running.
EBD is unavailable due to a malfunction. ABS, BAS, hill start assist and ESP
®as well
as its driving safety systems, for example, are therefore also unavailable.
ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated and other driving systems could be automati-
cally deactivated.
GWARNING
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listed
above. The wheels could therefore lock prematurely if you brake hard, for example.
This causes steerability and braking to be greatly impaired. The braking distance
may increase in emergency braking situations.
If ESP
®is not operational, ESP®will not stabilize the vehicle.
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.
XIf the display message continues to be displayed:
RDrive on with care.
RVisit a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
$JN The red $(USA only) or J(Canada only) brake system warning lamp is lit
while the engine is running. An additional warning tone sounds.
There is insufficient brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
GWARNING
Braking performance can be impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
XStop the vehicle immediately, paying attention to road and traffic conditions. Do
not continue driving under any circumstances.
XSecure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away (Ypage 135).
XDo not add brake fluid. Adding more will not remedy the malfunction.
XConsult a qualified specialist workshop.
XObserve the display messages.
