, BAS and hill start assist are unavailable due to a malfunction.
Self-diagnosis is not yet complete, for example.
ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated and other driving systems could
be automatically deactivated.
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the
functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock up at an
early stage in the event of maximum full-stop braking, for example.
This will severely impair steerability and braking. Braking distance
may increase in an emergency braking situation.
