Instruments and controls Driving systems Note: Operation Driving Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index 242 Electronic Brake Booster (EBB) The EBB enhances braking effectiveness by allowing the rear brakes to supply a greater proportion of the braking effort without a loss of vehicle stability. If a warning tone sounds for five seconds and the symbols É, v and - are displayed in the instrument cluster, the system has detected a malfunction and is switched off. Have the system checked immediately at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. Failure to do so could result in an accident, since the enhanced braking effect is not available when the system is switched off. Note: When the EBB is switched off, every time the engine is started, a warning tone will sound for five seconds and the symbols É and - will light up. In addition, whenever the brakes are applied at speeds exceeding 25 mph (40 km/h), the warning tone sounds for five seconds. In winter operation, the maximum effectiveness of the electronic traction system is only achieved with Mercedes-Benz recommended M+S rated radial-ply tires and/or snow chains.
