ABS Visit workshop |
ABS has been deactivated due to a malfunction. ESP®, ASR and BAS, as well as cruise control and SPEEDTRONIC, have also been deactivated as a result. WARNING The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard, for example. This causes steerability and braking to be greatly impaired. The braking distance can increase in emergency braking situations. The driven wheels can spin when accelerating. If ESP® is not operational, ESP® will not stabilise the vehicle. |
ABS Unavailable |
ABS is temporarily unavailable or is deactivated due to undervoltage. ESP®, ASR and BAS, as well as cruise control and SPEEDTRONIC, are also unavailable as a result. The battery may not be charging. WARNING The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard, for example. This causes steerability and braking to be greatly impaired. The braking distance can increase in emergency braking situations. The driven wheels can spin when accelerating. If ESP® is not operational, ESP® will not stabilise the vehicle. There is an increased risk of skidding and accidents. |
