Electronic stability program (ESP) - warning lamp The yellow ESP warning lamp in the speedometer dial comes on with the electronic key in steering lock position 2. It should go out with engine running. See page 218 if the warning lamp lights up or flashes when the vehicle is moving. BAS/ESP malfunction indicator lamp BAS ESP ABS malfunction indicator lamp The ABS malfunction indicator lamp in the instrument cluster comes on with the electronic key in steering lock position 2 and should go out with the engine running. ABS The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is combined with that of the BAS. When the ABS malfunction indicator lamp and the malfunction message in the instrument cluster remains illuminated 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 and the ABS malfunction message in the multifunction display 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 Center as soon as possible. See page 216 for notes on the antilock brake system (ABS). The yellow BAS/ESP malfunction indicator lamp in the instrument cluster comes on with the electronic key in steering lock position 2. It should go out with the engine running. If the BAS/ESP malfunction indicator lamp remains illuminated with the engine running, see page 214 for notes on the brake assist (BAS) and page 218 for notes on the electronic stability program (ESP).
