Problem
-
The yellow ABS indicator lamp
comes on while driving.
Possible cause/consequence
The ABS has detected a malfunction and has
switched off. The BAS and the ESP
switched off (see messages in display).
The electro-hydraulic brake system is still
functioning normally but without ABS avail-
able.
If the ABS control unit is malfunctioning, oth-
er systems such as Parktronic*, Distronic*,
or the automatic transmission may also be
malfunctioning.
The charging voltage has fallen below
10 volts and the ABS was switched off.
The battery may not be sufficiently charged.
Suggested solution
Continue driving with added caution.
®
are also Wheels may lock during hard braking,
reducing steering capability.
Have the system checked at an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon
as possible.
Failure to follow these instructions in-
creases the risk of an accident.
Read and observe messages in the
display ( page 345).
Switch off electrical consumers that
are currently not needed, e.g. seat
heating.
If necessary, have the generator and
battery checked.
When the voltage is above this value
again, the ABS is operational again.
