Warning/

indicator

lamp

Signal type

Possible causes/consequences and

Solutions

The yellow ABS warning lamp lights up while the engine is running.

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) has been deactivated due to a fault.

Other driving and driving safety systems may also be malfunctioning.

In addition, the

and

warning lamps may light up in the instrument

cluster.

ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated.

WARNING

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

above. The wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard, for example.

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

distance may increase in an emergency braking situation.
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 display.

Drive on carefully.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop immediately.

If the ABS control unit is faulty, there is also a possibility that other systems, such

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