Practical hints
What to do if ...
Continue driving with added caution. Wheels
may lock during hard braking, reducing
steering capability.
Read and observe messages in the multifunction
display ( page 307).
Have the system checked at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately.
Failure to follow these instructions increases
the risk of an accident.
When the voltage is above this value again, the
ABS is operational again.
If necessary, have the generator and battery
checked.
