  1. Right Rear ABS Wheel Speed Sensor -G44-
  2. Left Rear ABS Wheel Speed Sensor -G46-
  3. ESP Sensor Unit -G419-
    • Installed location: under the left front seat
    • Combined Transverse Acceleration Sensor -G200-, Rotation Rate Sensor -G202- and Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor -G251-
    • can be checked in the "Guided Fault Finding  " using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
    • Refer to ESP Sensor Unit -G419-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING 
    • Observe installation instructions
    • Check the arrow in the direction of travel when installing
    • 9 Nm
  4. Brake Lamp Switch -F-
  5. Brake Pedal
    • Removing and installing
  6. Electromechanical Parking Brake Indicator Lamp --
    • Component location in Instrument Cluster Control Module -J285-.
    • lights up when the parking brake is engaged and the ignition is switched on,
    • lights up for approximately 30 seconds when the parking brake is engaged and the ignition is switched off
    • blinks after engaging the parking brake if the brake pressure is not sufficient to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
      NOTE:

      The indicator light must go out when the parking brake is released.

  7. Brake System Indicator Lamp --
    • Component location in Instrument Cluster Control Module -J285-.
    • Turns on with the ABS indicator lamp when the ABS system malfunctions
    • blinks when the brake fluid is too low
    • Blinks when there is a malfunction in the brake system

      The malfunction is indicated more precisely when the "SET button" in the instrument cluster is pressed.

  8. ABS Indicator Lamp -K47-

    The indicator lamp monitors the ABS and the Electronic Differential Lock (EDL).

    • Component location in Instrument Cluster Control Module -J285-.
    • lights up for several seconds when ignition is switched on and goes out after an automatic ABS system self-check if there are no malfunctions in the ABS system.
    • There is an ABS malfunction if the indicator light:
      • does not light up when ignition is switched on,
      • does not go out after a few seconds,
      • lights up while driving.
    • The vehicle can be stopped with the standard brake system. However, a change in braking behavior should be checked.

      The Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and ABS work together. The ABS indicator light lights up when the EDL malfunctions.

  9. ASR/ESP Indicator Lamp -K155-
    • Component location in Instrument Cluster Control Module -J285-.
    • blinks when driving if ESP/ASR engages regularly.
    • comes on when ignition is switched on and goes out after a short self-check.
    • comes on if there is an ESP system malfunction.
    • comes on if there is an ABS system malfunction because ESP and ABS work together.
    • comes on when ESP/ASR is switched off.
    • comes on during sensor programming if:
      • the battery was disconnected and connected,
      • vehicle was started with jump start,
      • the battery is too weak.
    • after the sensor programming procedure, the ESP light goes out after driving a short distance.
  10. Left Front ABS Wheel Speed Sensor -G47-
  11. ABS Hydraulic Unit -N55- with ABS Control Module -J104-
  12. Return ring
    • Installed location: installed on the steering column with the slip ring
  13. Steering Column Electronics Control Module -J527-
  14. Right Front ABS Wheel Speed Sensor -G45-
  15. ASR/ESP Button -E256-
    • Switches the ESP/ASR off and on
    • The installation location depends on the model, refer to Fig 2
  16. -AUTO HOLD- Button -E540-
  17. Electromechanical Parking Brake Button -E538-
  18. Diagnostic connection
    • Installed location: driver side footwell cover
  19. Roof Rack Recognition Sensor -G625-
    NOTE:

    The Roof Rack Recognition Sensor -G625- is always installed in the left roof railing on both LHD and RHD vehicles.

    The sensor cannot be replaced by itself. It is part of the left roof railing.
