indicator lamp comes on while
driving.
The ABS has detected a malfunction and has
switched off. The BAS and the ESP are also
switched off (see messages in display).
The brake system is still functioning normally
but without the ABS available.
̈ Continue driving with added caution.
Wheels may lock during hard braking
reducing steering capability.
̈ Have the system checked at an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon
as possible.
Failure to follow these instructions in-
creases the risk of an accident.
The charging voltage has fallen below
10 volts and the ABS has switched off.
̈ When the voltage is above this value
again, the ABS is operational again.
̈ If necessary, have the generator and
battery checked.

tems. The airbags or emergency tensioning

nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.

fatal injury, or it might deploy unexpectedly
and unnecessarily which could result in an
accident and/or injury to you or to others.
