Cockpit
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)*
/
There are two control lamps for the electronic stability con-
trol. The
lamp provides information concerning the func-
tion and the
provides information on the disconnection
status
Both lamps come on together when the ignition is switched on and should
go out after approx. 2 seconds, which is how long the function check lasts.
This programme includes the ABS, EDL and ASR. This also includes the
brake assist system (BAS), automatic cleaning of the brake discs and the
trailer stability programme (TSP).
The warning lamp
has the following functions:
●
It flashes whilst driving when the ASR/ESC is activated.
●
It will light up continuously if there is a fault in the ESC.
●
As the ESC operates in conjunction with the ABS, it will also light up if a
fault should occur in the ABS.
If the ESC control lamp
lights up and stays on after the engine is started,
this may mean that the control system has temporarily switched off the ESC.
In this case the ESC can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and
then on again. If the control lamp goes out, this means the system is fully
functional.
The
lamp provides information about the disconnection status of the
system:
●
It stays lit when the ASR is disconnected when pressing the
switch.
Differential lock fault (EDL)*
The EDL operates along with the ABS in vehicles equipped
with the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)*
A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the ABS control lamp
. Take the
vehicle to a specialised workshop as soon as possible. For further informa-
tion on the EDL see
⇒
page 190, Electronic differential lock (EDL)*.
Traction control system (ASR)*
/
The traction control system prevents the driven wheels from
spinning when the vehicle is accelerating
There are two warning lamps for the traction control system:
and
. Both
lamps come on together when the ignition is switched on and should go out
after approx. 2 seconds, which is how long the function check lasts.
The
lamp has the following function:
●
It flashes when the ASR is working if the vehicle is moving.
If the system is deactivated or if it has any fault, the warning lamp will re-
main lit. The warning lamp will also light up if a fault should occur in the
ABS because the ASR operates in conjunction with the ABS. For further in-
formation, see
⇒
page 187, Brakes
The
lamp provides information about the disconnection status of the
system:
●
It stays lit when the ASR is disconnected when pressing the ASR OFF
switch.
By pressing it again, the ASR function is reactivated and the warning lamp
switched off.
