Possible cause/consequence
You are driving with the parking brake
set.
There is insufficient brake fluid in the
reservoir.
G
Do not add brake fluid before checking the
brake system. Overfilling the brake fluid
reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on
hot engine parts and the brake fluid catch-
ing fire. You can be seriously burned.
Suggested solution
Release the parking brake ( page 53).
Risk of accident!
Carefully stop the vehicle in a safe loca-
tion or as soon as it is safe to do so.
Apply the parking brake ( page 59).
Read and observe messages in the dis-
play ( page 360).
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Do not add brake fluid! This will not solve
the problem.
!
If you find that the brake fluid in the brake
fluid reservoir has fallen to the minimum mark or
below, have the brake system checked for brake
pad thickness and leaks.
