the message is saying a safety feature isn't functioning correctly.
if you know how to drive BAS is a total waste of space... its designed for scared drivers who shouldn't be behind the wheel.
both BAS and BAS plus, only function if the driver is already pressing the brake pedal. Its to stop light weights from getting scared when the ABS cuts in and gives them a baby foot massage.... in this situation no matter how delicately you press the pedal it stands on the brakes
BAS Plus (which is part of distronic plus on the later 221) uses the cruise radar to work out how much braking is required to miss the object [if it detected it] and stands on the brakes accordingly... when this happens "Pre Safe" also kicks in, changes the seat position, snatches the seat belts tight, pumps up the cushions in seat bolters and gets the airbags ready to go pop
