Do not forget that the brake system
requires electrical energy and may be
operating with restricted capability.
Considerably greater brake pedal
force is required and the stopping dis-
tance is increased.
왘 Stop the vehicle in a safe location or as soon as
it is safe to do so.
왘 Apply the parking brake (컄 page 65).
왘 Check the poly-V-belt.
If it is broken:
왘 Do not continue to drive. Otherwise the engine
will overheat due to an inoperative water pump
which may result in damage to the engine.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center.
If it is intact:
왘 Drive immediately to the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. Adjust
driving to be consistent with reduced braking
responsiveness.
