Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Malfunction and indicator lamps ABS malfunction indicator lamp 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. ABS 222 Adjustable steering wheel - indicator lamp The 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 indicator lamp does not go out after starting the engine, the adjustable steering column is not properly locked. For locking the adjustable telescoping steering column, see page 70. AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp The indicator lamp will light up for approximately 6 seconds, extinguish, then blink once, when you turn the key in steering lock to position 1 or 2. The 7 indicator lamp stays lit as long as a BabySmart TM compatible child seat is properly installed on the front passenger seat. It indicates that the front passenger airbag is switched off. See page 53 for BabySmart TM airbag and its deactivation system. BabySmartTM is a trademark of Siemens Automotive Corp. When the ABS malfunction indicator lamp 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, ESP and 4-ETS+ 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. Have the system checked at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center as soon as possible. See page 201 for notes on antilock brake system (ABS).
