Drivers Information (ETS)

For Electronic Traction Support (ETS) there are displays with various symbols in the instrument cluster.

Switching On The Ignition And Starting The Engine
When the ignition is switched on (ignition/starter switch position "2 ") the indicator and malfunction indicator lamps in the instrument cluster (bulb check) come on and go out when the engine is running.

Driving Mode
In driving mode the warning lamp flashes If a wheel speed does not correspond to the vehicle speed. Driving can thus be better adapted to the road conditions.
The warning lamp continues flashing for approx. 1 second after vehicle stability has been regained

Malfunction Indicator Lamp Evaluation
Due to the combined Brake Assist/Electronic Traction Support (BAS/ETS) malfunction indicator lamp the fault may be in the BAS and in the ETS. The ETS function is retained in the first case and the BAS function is retained in the second case.
If the ABS and BAS/ETS, malfunction indicator lamps come on when the engine is running, there is a fault in at least two control circuits and at least two systems are switched off. The BAS function can be retained despite the ABS, and ETS being switched off.
If the BAS/ETS malfunction indicator lamp come on in the ETS control mode and goes out after a while, a calculated temperature value of the brake linings concerned has been exceeded. Consequently, no ETS, control takes place at the appropriate wheel (wheel's) until the temperature has dropped again to a set value.
This switching off due to temperature is stored in the ETS control module.
