Possible cause/consequence
The poly-V-belt could be broken.
The cooling fan for the coolant is mal-
functioning.
Possible solution
Stop the vehicle in a safe location or as soon
as it is safe to do so and immediately turn off
the engine.
Check the poly-V-belt.
If it is broken:
Do not continue to drive. Otherwise the en-
gine will overheat due to an inoperative water
pump which may result in damage to the en-
gine. Notify an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
If it is intact:
Do not continue to drive the vehicle with this
message displayed. Doing so could result in
serious engine damage that is not covered by
the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Drive immediately to the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Observe the coolant temperature display.
Have the fan replaced as soon as possible.
