Possible cause/consequence
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.
The brake pads have reached their
wear limit.
The battery has insufficient voltage
and cannot supply sufficient power
to the electro-hydraulic brake sys-
tem.
Warning!
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.
Possible solution
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.
Have the brake pads replaced as soon as pos-
sible.
Start the engine.
The message disappears when sufficient
voltage is available.
G
Do not run the engine in confined areas
(such as a garage) which are not properly
ventilated.
