WARNING

●If the brake warning lamp  does not go

out or if it lights up when driving, the brake

fluid level in the reservoir is too lo so there

is a risk of an accident

››› page 296, Brake

fluid. Stop the vehicle and do not drive on.

Obtain technical assistance.

●If the brake warning lamp lights up  to-

gether with the ABS lamp  this could be

due to an ABS fault. When this function

fails, the rear wheels can lock up. Under

certain circumstances, the rear of the vehi-

cle may skid, with the danger of losing con-

trol. Stop and seek technical assistance.

●If the  lamp lights up, alone or accom-

panied by a warning message on the instru-

ment panel display, please go immediately

to a specialised workshop to check the

brake pads and to replace them if they are

worn.

Information about the brakes

New brake pads

For the first 200 to 300 km (100 to 200

miles), new brake pads have not yet reached

their maximum braking capacity, and need

to be “run in” first. However, you can com-

pensate for the slightly reduced braking ef-

fect by applying more pressure on the brake

pedal. Avoid overloading the brakes while

running them in.

Wear

The rate of wear on the brake pads depends

a great deal on how you drive and the condi-

tions in which the vehicle is operated. This is

a particular problem in urban traffic and

short stretches, or with very sporty driving.

Depending on the speed, the braking force

and the environmental conditions (e.g. tem-

perature, air humidity, etc.) noises may be

produced when braking.

Wet roads or road salt

In certain situations (for example, on driving

through flooded areas, in severe downpours

or after washing the vehicle) the braking ac-

tion could be delayed if the discs and pads

are damp, or frozen in winter. In this case the

brakes should be “dried” by pressing the

brake pedal several times.

At high speed and with the windscreen wip-

ers activated, the brake pads will briefly

touch the brake discs. This takes place, al-

though unnoticeable to the driver, at regular

intervals to improve the response time of the

brakes when they are wet.

The effectiveness of the brakes can also be

temporarily reduced if the vehicle is driven

for some distance without using the brakes

when there is a lot of salt on the road in win-

ter. The layer of salt that accumulates on the

discs and pads can be removed by gently ap-

plying the brakes a few times.

Corrosion

There may be a tendency for corrosion to

form on the discs and dirt to build up on the

brake pads if the vehicle is used infrequently

or the brakes are not used very often.

If the brakes are not used frequently, or if

rust has formed on the disks, it is advisable to
