WARNING
The braking performance of the electric motor using recuperative
braking may be either reduced or not effective. If you do not make
an additional effort to apply the brake yourself, the braking effect
may not be sufficient. If necessary, counteract the reduced regen-
erative braking effect by applying the brake yourself.
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the
functions listed above.
The braking distance in an emergency braking situation can thus
increase.
If ESP
®
is not operational, ESP
®
is unable to stabilize the vehicle.
