Warning Lamps
The brake system uses five warning lamps and a text display in the driver information module (DIM).
ABS warning lamp (1)
The ABS warning lamp indicates a fault in the ABS system.
Brake warning lamp (3)
The brake warning lamp indicates:
- a fault in the electronic brake force distribution (EBD) function
- low brake fluid level.
Spin warning lamp (6)
The spin warning lamp shines with a steady glow in the event of:
- a fault in the DSTC/ESC system
- high brake disc temperature.
- DSTC/ESC sport mode
The spin warning lamp flashes:
- When a drive wheel starts to spin during acceleration. Traction control is then activated to regain traction
- When a drive wheel starts to spin on a slippery surface. Stability control is then activated to regain traction
- When the lateral stability limit is exceeded (the car oversteers or understeers) during active yaw control (AYC).
Information lamp (5)
The information lamp is illuminated when a text message is displayed.
General warning lamp (4)
The general warning lamp is used as a means of notifying that there is an important message in the driver information module display.
Text display (2)
In the event of a brake system fault, the driver is informed via a message in the driver information module display. The type of fault in the brake system determines which message is displayed. The information lamp is lit while the text message is displayed.
The text may vary depending on the model year and equipment. It may also change as a result of software updates in the driver information module (DIM).
