If the warning lamps for DSC come 
on. DSC including DTC and DBC is 
malfunctioning. 
The stabilizing action and brake-

servo boost are no longer available. The vehicle 
remains operational. Have the system checked 
as soon as possible.

The drive-off assistant enables you to drive off 
smoothly on uphill gradients. It is not necessary 
to use the handbrake for this.

1.

Hold the car in place by pressing the brake 
pedal.

2.

Release the brake pedal and drive off with-
out delay.

The drive-off assistant holds the car in 
place for approx. 2 seconds after the 

brake pedal is released. Depending on vehicle 
load, the car may roll backwards a little during 
this time span. Drive off without delay after 
releasing the brake pedal. Otherwise, the drive-
off assistant will no longer hold the car in place 
after approx. 2 seconds and the car will start to 
roll backwards.

<

The warning lamps for the brake sys-
tem light up in yellow. The drive-off 
assistant has failed. The car will not 
be held in place after the brake pedal 

is released. Have the system checked as soon 
as possible.

Display of this malfunction on Cana-
dian models.

The Flat Tire Monitor monitors tire pressures 
while the car is being driven. The system 
reports any significant loss of pressure in one 
tire in relation to another.

If a tire loses pressure, its rolling radius 
changes, and this in turn alters the speed of 
rotation. This change is detected and is 
reported as a flat tire.

In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat 
tire, the system must be initialized for the cor-
rect tire inflation pressure.

The system must be reinitialized each 
time a tire inflation pressure has been cor-

rected or a wheel or tire has been changed.

<

The Flat Tire Monitor is unable to warn 
the driver of sudden, severe tire damage 

caused by external factors, nor can it identify 
the gradual loss of pressure that will inevitably 
occur in all four tires over a lengthy period of 
time.

<

In the following situations, the system could be 
delayed or malfunction:

>

System has not been initialized

>

Driving on snowy or slippery road surface

>

Performance-oriented style of driving: slip 
in the drive wheels, high lateral acceleration

>

If snow chains are attached

The initialization is completed during driv-
ing, which can be interrupted at any time. 

When driving resumes, the initialization is con-
tinued automatically. 
Do not initialize the system while snow chains 
are attached.
