Warning/

lamp

Signal type

Possible causes/consequences and

Solutions

The yellow ESP

warning lamp flashes while the vehicle is in motion.

ESP

or traction control has intervened because there is a risk of skidding or at

least one wheel has started to spin.

Cruise control or Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is deactivated.

When pulling away, only depress the accelerator pedal as far as necessary.

Ease off the accelerator pedal while the vehicle is in motion.

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

Do not deactivate ESP

In rare cases (

page 68) it may be best to deactivate ESP

Observe the important safety notes on ESP

(

page 66).

÷å

The yellow ESP

and ESP

OFF warning lamps are lit while the engine is run-

ning.
ESP

is malfunctioning.

Other driving systems and driving safety systems may also malfunction.

WARNING

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

ted above.

The braking distance in an emergency braking situation can thus increase.
If ESP

is not operational, ESP

is unable to stabilize the vehicle.

There is an increased risk of skidding and an accident.

Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction display.

Drive on carefully.

Visit a qualified specialist workshop immediately.

The yellow ESP

OFF warning lamp is lit while the engine is running or the

ECO start/stop function is activated.
ESP

is deactivated.

WARNING

If ESP

is switched off, ESP

is unable to stabilize the vehicle.

Further driving systems or driving safety systems are thus restricted, e.g. Active

Blind Spot Assist. The system does not perform course-correcting brake appli-

cations.

There is an increased risk of skidding and an accident.

Reactivate ESP

In rare cases (

page 68) it may be best to deactivate ESP

Observe the important safety notes on ESP

(

page 66).

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

If ESP

cannot be activated:

Drive on carefully.

Have ESP

checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
