Possible cause/consequence
The battery is malfunctioning.

ergy and therefore has only limited oper-
ation. Considerably greater brake pedal
force is required and the stopping dis-
tance is increased.
The battery has insufficient voltage.
The rear seat backrest is not engaged.
The rear seat backrest is not engaged.
The brake pads have reached their wear
limit.
Possible solution
Stop the vehicle in a safe location as
soon as it is safe to do so. Adjust driv-
ing to be consistent with reduced
braking responsiveness.
Notify an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Start the engine ( page 52).
Adjust the rear seat backrest until it is
fully engaged in position.
Adjust the rear seat backrest until it is
