Solutions
J
The brake warning lamp
is lit while the engine is
running. The
¤
warn-
ing lamp is also dis-
played.
There is insufficient brake fluid in the fluid reservoir.
X
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention to road and traffic
conditions. Do not continue driving under any circumstances.
X
Apply the parking brake.
X
Consult a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
X
Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction dis-
play.
Do not top up the brake fluid. This will not solve the problem.
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on
hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. This can result in
serious burns.
!
The ABS warning lamp is
lit while the engine is
running.
There is a malfunction in the ABS (anti-lock braking system). Therefore
BAS (Brake Assist), hill-start assist, ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Pro-
gram) or ASR (acceleration skid control) are also deactivated, for
example.
The vehicle can be braked as always, but without using the functions
mentioned above. The wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard,
for example.
This causes steerability and braking to be greatly impaired. The brak-
ing distance can increase in emergency braking situations.
There is an increased risk of skidding and accidents.
X
Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction dis-
play.
X
Drive on with care.

Visit a qualified specialist workshop.
