Instruments and warning lights
Electronic stability programme (ESP)*
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
When the ESP helps to stabilise the vehicle (for example when applying and releasing
a braking force to an individual wheel), then the warning light
mation display.
The ESP system cannot be switched off, only the TCS system can be switched off by
page 163, fig.
pressing the button
The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the ESP system.
The fact that the ESP system operates together with the ABS means that the ESP
warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light
comes on immediately after starting the engine, the ESP system
can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the ESP system can be switched
on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the ESP
system is fully functional again.
Further information on the ESP page 163, "Electronic stability programme (ESP)*".
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)*
The EDL is a part of the ESP. A fault in the EDL is indicated by the lighting up of the ESP
warning light in the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected immediately by
your specialist garage. Further information on the EDL page 164, "Electronic Differ-
ential Lock (EDL)*".

The warning light
lights up, if there is a substantial drop in inflation pressure in one
of the tyres. Reduce the speed and check or correct as soon as possible the inflation
pressure in the tyres page 216.
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
If the warning light flashes, there is a system fault. Visit the nearest specialist garage and
have the fault rectified.

WARNING
When the warning light
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.
