Red ABC Drive Carefully Message

Hi folks. For only the second time in the past five months this message briefly appeared on the center display when driving moderately hard. Both times, it turned off as quickly as it turned on (almost like traction control over RR tracks). 2005 SL55, 55k miles. Newer fluid and filter (overmaintained) Level was just below the dipstick indentation so I added a little to be within it. Any cause for concern? Thanks.

Thank you! Any idea how to inspect the accumulators?

A $250 clone of Mercedes' Star Diagnosis System is the only way I know of to test the accumulators. But since you get the warning momentarily and infrequently, you can choose to do nothing.
