BAS/ASR ABS warning
I can't pinpoint a certain condition when it happens. It seems to happen more under wet conditions, but then again it also happens in dry weather. Sometimes the warning goes away when I turn off the engine and restart again, sometimes it stays on the whole trip. I've done some reading up on these fourms about it, however when the warnings lights are on the cruise-control still works!? Is this an indication of something in particular?

Check your fuses. My car does this occasionally and all I have to do is "wiggle" the fuse and the warning lights go off (the fuse is not blown).

You have a 'brake light switch' that will soon need to be replaced (very common) - you will periodically get the warning signals; the brake light switch is going bad! It is a really easy DIY for under $20 at your local MB dealership! Good luck!
