Problem

Possible cause/consequence Suggested solutions

The yellow ESP

vehicle is in motion.

Risk of accident

ESP

or traction control has

intervened because at least one

Cruise control or Distronic* is

deactivated.

Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as necessary when pull-

ing away.

Release the accelerator pedal while you are driving.

Adapt your driving style to suit the road and weather conditions.

Do not deactivate ESP

. Exceptions: (

page 60).

The red brake system

warning lamp comes on

while you are driving. You

will also hear a warning

tone.

You are driving with the parking

brake applied.

Release the parking brake.
The warning lamp goes out and the warning tone ceases.

The red brake system

warning lamp comes on

while the engine is run-

ning. You will also hear a

warning tone.

Risk of accident

There is insufficient brake fluid in

the fluid reservoir.

Do not continue driving under any circumstances.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop immediately.

Observe the additional messages in the multi-function display

(

page 257).

Under no circumstances should you top up the brake fluid. This will

not rectify the fault.
