running. The ABS has detected a malfunction and has
switched off. The BAS, ESP

messages in the multifunction display).
The brake system is still functioning normally
but without the ABS available.
If the ABS control unit is malfunctioning, oth-
er systems such as Distronic*, or the auto-
matic transmission may also be
malfunctioning.

Continue driving with added caution.
Wheels may lock during hard braking,
