N Signal type

Possible causes/consequences and M

Solutions

N The yellow ABS warning lamp is lit while the engine is running.

ABS (anti-lock braking system) is malfunctioning.

If there is an additional warning tone, the EBD (electronic brake force distribution)

is malfunctioning.

Other driving systems and driving safety systems may also be faulty.

WARNING

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

above. The front and rear wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard, for exam-

ple.

The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The braking

distance in an emergency braking situation can 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.

If the ABS control unit is faulty, there is also a possibility that other systems, such

as the navigation system or the automatic transmission, will not be available.
