WARNING
The system improves ride comfort and
safety during normal driving. It must
however not be regarded as a system
to enable the driver to maintain higher
speeds. The same precautions as
normal for safe cornering and driving
on slippery roads must be adopted (see
pages 169/ 171).
This symbol lights up when the system is
disengaged using the ESP button.
If there is a malfunction, the symbol cannot
be turned off by pressing the ESP button.
