restricted brake servo functions, the braking
distance can increase considerably and can
cause accidents and serious injuries.

ESC fault
The control lamp switches on yellow. The ESC
has been switched o.
●
If the brake servo is not working, the brake
pedal has to be pressed harder, as the brak-
ing distance increases due to the lack of as-
sistance from the servo brake.
When “Sport” mode is connected, the interven-
tions of the ESC to stabilise the vehicle, and the
traction control (TCS) interventions are limited.
There is a fault or defect.
●
●
Turn o the ignition and turn it on again.
If possible, drive for a short distance at 15-20
km/h (9-12 mph).
WARNING

ESC and TCS
●
The ESC Sport mode should only be switched
on if the trac situation and the driver’s abil-
ity allow it. Danger of skidding!
If the control lamp is still on, go to a speci-
alised workshop.
The ESC is switched on automatically when the
engine is started, and only works when the en-
gine is running and includes the ABS, EDS and
TCS systems.
The brake assist systems make noises
●
With ESC in Sport mode, the stabilising
function will be limited for sportier driving.
The vehicle may skid.
When the described brake assist systems inter-
vene, you may hear noises.
The TCS function should only be switched o in
situations in which traction is insucient.
Note
WARNING
Depending on the finishes and versions, there is
the possibility of disconnecting only the TCS or
activating the ESC in “Sport” mode.
If the TCS is disconnected or “Sport” mode
is selected, the cruise control system will be
switched oꢀ.
●
When the ignition is switched on, the sta-
tus of the brake system and the brake assist
functions are automatically checked. The
control lamps on the instrument cluster light
up briefly and then go out. Any indicator
lamp that remains on indicates a fault. Seek
qualified technical assistance immediately.
