Note:
In winter operation, the maximum effectiveness of the
electronic traction system is only achieved with
Mercedes-Benz recommended M+S rated radial-ply tires
and/ or snow chains.
Electronic Brake Booster (EBB)
The EBB enhances braking effectiveness by allowing the
rear brakes to supply a greater proportion of the braking
effort without a loss of vehicle stability.
If a warning tone sounds for five seconds and the
symbols
É, v and - are displayed in the
instrument cluster, the system has detected a
malfunction and is switched off. Have the system
checked immediately at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Light Truck Center. Failure to do so could result in an
accident, since the enhanced braking effect is not
available when the system is switched off.
Note:
When the EBB is switched off, every time the engine is
started, a warning tone will sound for five seconds and
the symbols
É and - will light up. In addition,
whenever the brakes are applied at speeds exceeding
25 mph (40 km /h), the warning tone sounds for five
seconds.
