If there is an additional warning tone, the EBD (electronic brake force distribution)is malfunctioning.
Other driving systems and driving safety systems may also malfunction.
GWARNING
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listedabove. The front and rear wheels could therefore lock if you brake hard, for exam-ple.
The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The brakingdistance in an emergency braking situation can increase.
If ESP®is not operational, ESP®is unable to stabilize the vehicle.
There is an increased risk of skidding and an accident.
XObserve the additional display messages in the multifunction display.
XDrive on carefully.
XVisit a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
If the ABS control unit is defective, there is also a possibility that other systems,such as the navigation system or the automatic transmission, will not be available.
