Possible cause
The SBC brake system is in emergency
operation mode. Considerable brake ped-
al force is required and the stopping dis-
tance is increased.
!
There are malfunctions, but the SBC
brake system is operating normally.
The brake system is overheated due to an
excessive load on the brakes.
You are driving with the parking brake
set.
Possible solution
Continue driving with added caution.
Adjust driving to be consistent with
reduced braking responsiveness.
Visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center as soon as possible.
Relieve the load on the brake system.
Drive more smoothly and think ahead
to avoid unnecessary braking.
When driving down slopes, shift into a
lower gear to use the engine's braking
power ( page 163).
Cautiously continue driving so that
the air stream will cool down the
brakes.
Release the parking brake
( page 45).
