WARNING
● Before opening the bonnet, read and ob-
›››
serve the warnings page 201, Working in
the engine compartment.
● If the brake system warning lamp
light up together with the ABS warning lamp
, stop the vehicle immediately and check
the brake fluid level in the reservoir
›››
page 208, Brake fluid. If the brake fluid
level has dropped below the "MIN" mark you
must not drive on. Risk of accident. Obtain
technical assistance.
● If the brake fluid level is correct, the fault in
the brake system may have been caused by a
failure of the ABS system. This could cause
the rear wheels to lock quickly when you
brake. This could cause the rear to break
away. Risk of skidding. Stop the vehicle and
seek technical assistance.
Differential lock fault (EDS)*
The EDL operates along with the ABS in vehi-
cles equipped with Electronic Stability Con-
trol (ESC)*.
A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the
ABS control lamp . Take the vehicle to a
specialised workshop as soon as possible.
For further information on the EDL see
›››
page 170, Electronic differential lock
(EDS)*.
Instruments and warning/control lamps
Traction control system (ASR)* /
The traction control system prevents the driv-
en wheels from spinning when the vehicle is
accelerating.
should

There are two control lamps for the traction
control system:  and . Both control lamps
light up together when the ignition is switch-
ed on and should turn off after approximately
2 seconds. This is the time taken for the func-
tion check.
The  lamp has the following function:
● It flashes when the ASR is working if the ve-
hicle is moving.
If the system is deactivated or if it has any
fault, the warning lamp will remain lit. The
warning lamp will also light up if a fault
should occur in the ABS because the ASR op-
erates in conjunction with the ABS. For fur-
ther information, see
The  lamp provides information about the
disconnection status of the system:
● It stays lit when the ASR is disconnected
via Easy Connect.
By means of Easy Connect, the ASR function
is reactivated and the warning lamp switched
off.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)*
/
There are two control lamps for the electronic
stability control. The lamp  provides infor-
mation concerning function and  disconnec-
tion status.
Both control lamps light up together when
the ignition is switched on and should turn
off after approximately 2 seconds. This is the
time taken for the function check.
This programme includes the ABS, EDL and
ASR. It also includes emergency braking as-
sistance (BAS).
The control lamp  has the following func-
tions:
It flashes whilst driving when the ASR/ESC
●
is activated.
It will light up if there is a fault in the ESC.
●
›››
page 172.
● As the ESC operates in conjunction with the
ABS, the ESC light will also come on if a fault
should occur in the ABS.
If the ESC control lamp  lights up and stays
on after the engine is started, this may mean
that the control system has temporarily
switched off the ESC. In this case the ESC can
be reactivated by switching the ignition off
and then on again. If the control lamp goes
out, this means the system is fully functional.
