Possible solution

#

Battery/Alternator
Stop car

The battery is malfunctioning.

The electro-hydraulic brake system
requires electrical energy and
therefore has only limited opera-
tion. Considerably greater brake
pedal force is required and the stop-
ping distance is increased.

̈

Stop the vehicle in a safe location. Adjust driv-
ing to be consistent with reduced braking re-
sponsiveness.

̈

Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter.

2

Brake wear

The brake pads have reached their
wear limit.

̈

Have the brake pads replaced as soon as pos-
sible.

Reduced
brake effect
Start engine

The battery has insufficient voltage
and cannot supply sufficient power
to the electro-hydraulic brake sys-
tem.

̈

Start the engine.

The message disappears when sufficient
voltage is available.

!

Brake pad thickness must be visually

checked by a qualified technician at the intervals
specified in the Maintenance Booklet.

Warning!

G

Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to

your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon

monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause un-

consciousness and lead to death.

Do not run the engine in confined areas

(such as a garage) which are not properly

ventilated.
