# Battery/Alternator
Visit workshop 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 capa-
bility. Considerably greater brake
pedal force is required and the stop-
ping distance is increased.
̈ Stop immediately and check the poly-V-belt.
If it is broken:
̈ Do not continue to drive. Notify an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
If it is in order:
̈ Drive immediately to the nearest autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center. Adjust driv-
ing to be consistent with reduced
braking responsiveness.
