WARNING
Driving with brakes in bad condition could result in a serious accident.

driving, the brake fluid level in the reservoir is too low or there is a fault
in the brake system. Obtain professional assistance immediately

● If the brake warning lamp  lights up together with the ABS warning
lamp , the regulation function of the ABS could be malfunctioning. As a
result, the rear wheels can lock relatively easily when braking. If the rear
wheels lock this could result in loss of vehicle control! If possible, reduce
your speed and drive carefully to a specialist workshop close by to check
the brake system. During the following journey, avoid sudden braking

ing, the ABS is malfunctioning. The vehicle can only be stopped using
normal braking without ABS. The protection provided by the ABS is not
available. Visit a specialised workshop as soon as possible.

strument panel screen, please go immediately to a specialist workshop
to check the brake pads and to replace them if they are worn.
