Instruments and controls Driving systems Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index 200 If the charging voltage falls below 10 volts, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on and the BAS and the ESP are switched off. When the voltage is above this value again, the malfunction indicator lamp should go out and the BAS is operational. With the ABS malfunctioning, the BAS is also switched off. Both malfunction indicator lamps come on with the engine running. If the BAS /ESP malfunction indicator lamp stays illuminated, have the BAS or ESP checked at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center as soon as possible. The BAS/ESP 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. If the BAS /ESP malfunction indicator lamp comes on permanently while the engine is running, a malfunction has been detected in either system. As a result, it is possible that now only partial engine output will be available. If the BAS malfunctions, the brake system functions in the usual manner, but without BAS.
