Vehicle status messages in the multifunction display

G
Warning!
Driving while one of the previous messages
is displayed can result in an accident. Have
your brake system checked immediately.
If the electro-hydraulic brake system enters
its emergency operation mode, the driver
must apply significantly greater brake
pedal pressure and depress the pedal much
further than normal to obtain braking
effect.
If necessary, apply full pressure to the
brake pedal. Brakes are only applied to the
front wheels. Stopping distance is
increased!
If there is a malfunction in the electro-
hydraulic brake system, we recommend
that the vehicle be transported with all
wheels off the ground using flatbed or
appropriate wheel lift/dolly equipment.
A tow bar must be used if circumstances do
not permit the use of the recommended
towing methods and the vehicle requires
towing with all four wheels on the ground.
Towing the vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground is only permissible for distances
up to 30 miles (50 km) and at a speed not
to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). For more
information, see “Towing the vehicle”.
