greater brake pedal force is required and the stopping
distance is increased.

Stop immediately in a safe location or as soon as it is safe
to do so and 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 Center.
X
If it is intact: Drive to the nearest authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center immediately. Adjust driving to be consistent
with reduced braking responsiveness.
