BATTERY/ALTERNATOR
STOP VEHICLE
The battery, the alternator or the
electrical system control unit is mal-
functioning.
The electro-hydraulic brake system
requires electrical energy and there-
fore has only limited operation. Con-
siderably greater brake pedal force is
required and the stopping distance is
increased.
왘 Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as
it is safe to do so. Adjust driving to be consis-
tent with reduced braking responsiveness.
왘 Notify an authorized Maybach Studio.
Failure to follow these instructions increases the
risk of accident.
왘 Read and observe messages about the elec-
tro-hydraulic brake system in the multifunc-
tion display.
The battery is no longer charging.
Possible causes:
앫 alternator malfunctioning
앫 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
distance is increased.
왘 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:
왘 Do not continue to drive. Otherwise the en-
gine will overheat due to an inoperative wa-
ter pump which may result in damage to the
engine. Notify an authorized Maybach
Studio.
If it is intact:
왘 Drive immediately to the nearest authorized
Maybach Studio. Adapt driving to be consis-
tent with reduced braking responsiveness.
왘 Read and observe messages about the elec-
tro-hydraulic brake system in the multifunc-
tion display.
