You can drive it, but you ABS system will not function and sudden stops like someone cuts you off or jumps a light and you have to hit the brakes fast is going to be a chance. Me I would rent a car because if something goes bad you might not see your grandbaby...

To get the ABS light off in your car just turn it on and then turn steering wheel full left then turn it full right and then turn it full left again and then turn it full right again that should turn off the ABS light. Usually ABS light comes on if you change your battery or lose power to your car from your battery not being connected. I have a 2000 e430 and I did that and was fine and went off. most Mercedes are pretty much the same when it comes to that.
