Instruments and warning lights
WARNING
When the warning light
lights up, immediately reduce the speed and
avoid sudden steering and brake manoeuvres. Please stop the vehicle without
delay at the nearest possible stop and inspect the tyres and their inflation pres-
sures.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light
can be delayed or does not light up at all.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected, the warning light
on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short distance.
Antilock brake system (ABS)
The warning light
shows the functionality of the ABS.
The warning light comes on for a few seconds after the ignition has been switched
on or when starting the engine. The warning light goes out after an automatic check
sequence has been completed.
A fault in the ABS
The system is not functioning properly if the ABS warning light
within a few seconds after switching on the ignition, does not light up at all or lights
up while driving. The vehicle will only be braked by the normal brake system. Visit a
specialist garage immediately and adjust your style of driving appropriately as you
will not know how great the damage is.
Further information about ABS  page 162, "Antilock brake system (ABS)".

comes on together with the brake system warning light

WARNING (continued)
Pay attention to the following instructions  page 194, "Working in the
engine compartment" before checking the brake fluid level and opening the
bonnet.
If the brake fluid is at the correct level, the ABS control function has failed.
The rear wheels may then block very rapidly when braking. In certain circum-
stances, this can result in the rear end of the car breaking away - risk of skidding!
Drive carefully to the nearest specialist garage and have the fault rectified.

comes on after the ignition is switched on as a reminder for the
driver and front passenger to fasten the seat belt. The warning light only goes out

warning signal sounds at vehicle speeds greater than 20 km/h and simultaneously
the warning light
flashes.
If the seat belt is not fastened by the driver or front passenger during the next 90
seconds, the warning signal is deactivated and the warning light
