Replace air filter.
The air filter is clogged. ̈ Have the air filter checked by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center.
# The battery is no longer charging.
Possible causes:
ț alternator malfunctioning
ț broken poly-V-belt
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.
̈ Stop the vehicle in a safe location or as
soon as it is safe to do so.
̈ Apply the parking brake (୴ page 67).
̈ Check the poly-V-belt.
If it is broken:
̈ 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:
̈ Drive immediately to the nearest
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center. Adjust driving to be consistent
with reduced braking responsiveness.
