Practical hints What to do if ...? Display ABS and ESP inoperative See Oper. Manual Possible cause/consequence ABS, ESP® as well as PRE-SAFE® are switched off due to a malfunction. BAS is also switched off. The brake system is still functioning normally but without the ABS available. Possible solution Continue driving with added caution. Wheels may lock during hard braking, reducing steering capability. Have the system checked at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible. Failure to follow these instructions increases the risk of an accident. ABS and ESP currently unavailable See Oper. Manual ABS, ESP® as well as PRE-SAFE® are not available due to a malfunction. BAS is also switched off. It is possible that the self-diagnostics have not yet been completed. The brake system still functions normally. The ABS, ESP® as well as PRE-SAFE® were deactivated because of insufficient power supply. The charging voltage has fallen below 10 volts. Drive a short distance with gentle turns above a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h). The message disappears when ABS and ESP® are again available. When the voltage is above this value again, the ABS, ESP® and PRE-SAFE® are operational again and the message in the multifunction display should disappear. The brake system still functions normally If the message in the multifunction display does but without the ABS, ESP® and PRE-SAFE® not disappear: available. Have the generator (alternator) and the battery checked. 572
