There is a fault with the brake servo. The brake servo remains available with reduced capacity. The brakes may perform differently than usual and the brake pedal may vibrate.
Drive to a qualified workshop without delay and have the fault rectified.
- Before opening the bonnet and checking the brake fluid level, observe the warning information on link►.
- If the brake warning lamp does not go out, or if it lights up when driving, the brake fluid level in the reservoir is too low - this may cause an increased accident risk. Stop the vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain professional assistance.
- If the brake warning lamp lights up together with the ABS indicator lamp and the ESC indicator lamp, this can mean that the control function of the ESC/ABS is not working. Input from the functions that stabilise the vehicle is no longer available. This could cause the vehicle to skid sideways. Do not drive on. Obtain professional assistance.
