system. ̈ Have the system checked at an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon
as possible.

ergy and therefore has only limited oper-
ation. Considerably greater brake pedal
force is required and the stopping dis-
tance is increased.

to do so. Adjust driving to be consis-
tent with reduced braking responsive-
ness.
̈ Call Roadside Assistance.
̈ Notify an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.

limit. ̈ Have the brake pads replaced as soon

spected by a qualified technician at the intervals
