Battery/Alternator
Stop vehicle
The battery is malfunctioning.
The SBC brake system requires electrical
energy and therefore has only limited op-
eration. Considerably greater brake pedal
force is required and the stopping dis-
tance is increased.
̈ Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so. Adjust driving to be consis-
tent with reduced braking responsive-
ness.
̈ Notify an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Low voltage
Start engine
The battery has insufficient voltage. ̈ Start the engine ( page 46).
Malfunction
Electrical consumers
switched off
The consumer battery has insufficient

tion*.
The electrical consumers will come back
online as soon as on-board voltage is suf-
ficient.
