ABS control

The ABS malfunction indicator lamp - in the

instrument cluster comes on with the key in steering

lock position 2 and should go out with the engine

running.

When the ABS malfunction indicator lamp symbol and

warning in the instrument cluster comes on while the

engine is running, it indicates that the ABS has detected

a malfunction and has switched off. In this case, the

brake system functions in the usual manner, but

without antilock assistance.

With the ABS malfunctioning, the BAS and ESP are also

switched off. Both malfunction indicator lamps come on

with the engine running.

If the charging voltage falls below 10 volts, the

malfunction indicator lamp comes on and the ABS is

switched off. When the voltage is above this value again,

the malfunction indicator lamp should go out and the

ABS is operational.

If the ABS malfunction indicator light stays illuminated,

have the system checked at your authorized Mercedes-

Benz Center as soon as possible.

Note:

To alert following vehicles to slippery road conditions

you discover, operate your hazard warning flashers as

appropriate.

Warning!

ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics

from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the

traction made available by the road conditions. The

ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those

resulting from excessive speed in turns, following

another vehicle too closely, or aquaplaning. Only a

safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent

accidents. The capabilities of an ABS equipped

vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or

dangerous manner which could jeopardize the

user’s safety or the safety of others.
