BATTERY CHARGE
VISIT WORKSHOP The battery is no longer charging.
Possible causes:
ț alternator malfunctioning
ț broken poly-V-belt
Do not forget that the brake system re-
quires electrical energy and may be oper-
ating with restricted capability.
Considerably greater brake pedal force is
required and the stopping distance is
longer.
̈ Stop immediately and check the
poly-V-belt.
If it is broken:
̈ Do not continue to drive. Otherwise the
engine will overheat due to an inoperative
water pump which may result in damage
to the engine. Notify an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
If it is intact:
̈ Drive immediately to the nearest autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center. Adjust driv-
ing to be consistent with reduced braking
responsiveness.
