Suggested solution

¿

The yellow BAS/ESP malfunction
indicator lamp comes on while
driving.

The ESP is deactivated because of an inter-
rupted power supply. The ABS may still be
operational.

̈

With vehicle stationary and the engine
running, turn the steering wheel com-
pletely to the left and then to the right
to synchronize the ESP.

The BAS has detected a malfunction and
switched off. The brake system is still func-
tioning normally but without the BAS avail-
able.

̈

Continue driving with added caution.

̈

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 accident.

The charging voltage has fallen below
10 volts and the BAS has switched off.

̈

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

̈

If necessary, have the alternator and
battery checked.
