Lamps in instrument cluster

General information:
If any of the following lamps in the instru-
ment cluster fails to come on during the

bulb self-check when switching on the igni-
tion, have the respective bulb checked and
replaced if necessary.

Problem

Possible cause/consequence

Suggested solution

-

The yellow ABS indicator lamp
comes on while driving.

The ABS has detected a malfunction and has
switched off. The BAS and the ESP

®

are also

switched off (see messages in multifunction
display).

The electrohydraulic brake system is still
functioning normally but without the ABS
available.

If the ABS control unit is malfunctioning, oth-
er systems such as Distronic*, or the auto-
matic transmission may also be
malfunctioning.

̈

Continue driving with added caution.
Wheels may lock during hard braking,
reducing steering capability.

̈

Read and observe messages in the
multifunction display (

page 383).

̈

Have the system checked at an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon
as possible.

Failure to follow these instructions in-
creases the risk of an accident.

The charging voltage has fallen below
10 volts. The ABS has switched off.

The battery may not be sufficiently charged.

̈

Switch off electrical consumers that
are currently not needed, e.g. seat
heating.

̈

If necessary, have the generator and
battery checked.

When the voltage is above this value
again, the ABS is operational again.
