Solutions

The red ABS warning lamp is lit while the engine is running.

The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is malfunctioning.

An additional warning tone indicates that EBD (electronic brake force distribution)

is malfunctioning.

Other driving and driving safety systems may also be malfunctioning.

WARNING

The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listed

above. The front and rear wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard, for exam-

ple.

The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The braking

distance may increase in an emergency braking situation.

is not operational, ESP

is unable to stabilise the vehicle.

There is an increased risk of skidding and/or accident.

as the navigation system or the automatic transmission, will be unavailable.
