SAFE

the HOLD function, hill start assist and the adaptive brake lights are

not available due to a malfunction.

ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated.

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 brak-

ing effect by applying the brake yourself.

The brake system continues to function normally, but without the

functions listed above.

The braking distance may thus increase in an emergency braking sit-

uation.
If ESP

is not operational, ESP

is unable to stabilise the vehicle.

There is an increased danger of skidding and risk of an accident.

Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction dis-

play.

Drive on carefully.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
