Fault in the brake system

If the brake pedal travel should ever increase

suddenly, this may mean that one of the two

brake circuits has failed. Drive immediately to

the nearest specialised workshop and have

the fault repaired. Drive there slowly and re-

member that you will have to apply more

pressure on the brake pedal and allow for

longer stopping distances.

Low brake fluid level

Malfunctions can occur in the brake system if

the brake fluid level is too low. The brake fluid

level is monitored electronically.

Brake servo

The brake servo increases the pressure you

apply to the brake pedal. It works only when

the engine is running.

Electromechanical brake servo (eBKV)

The electromechanical brake servo only

works when the ignition is switched on and

optimises the force of the foot by increasing

the pressure that the driver exerts on the

brake pedal.

If the electromechanical brake servo is not

working, the brake pedal must be pressed

harder, as the braking distance increases due

to the lack of assistance from the servo

brake.

WARNING

Any anomaly in the brake system can in-

crease the braking distance, with the re-

sulting risk of an accident.

●New brake pads and discs must be run in

and do not have the correct friction during

the first 200 km (124 miles). This reduced

braking capacity may be offset by pressing

on the brake pedal a little harder.

●If you are driving on roads which have

been salted, braking effectiveness may be

decreased.

●Brakes can overheat if used excessively

on slopes. Before driving down a long steep

slope, it is advisable to reduce speed and

change down into a lower gear or range.

Therefore, using the engine brake relieves

the brakes.

●Gentle continuous braking causes the

brakes to overheat and the braking dis-

tance will increase. Apply and then release

the brakes alternately.

●Apply the brakes heavily to clean the

brake system only in a suitable traffic situa-

tion. Do not put other road users in danger:

there is risk of causing an accident.

●Ensure the vehicle does not move while in

neutral, when the engine is stopped. The

braking distance is increased considerably

when the brake servo is not active.

●If the brake is subjected to high stresses,

vapour bubbles may form in the brake sys-

tem's pipes. This reduces the efficiency of

the brakes.

●Non-standard or damaged front spoilers

could restrict the airflow to the brakes and

cause them to overheat. Before purchasing

accessories please read the relevant in-

structions.

CAUTION

●Never let the brakes “drag” by leaving

your foot on the pedal when it is not neces-

sary to brake. This overheats the brakes, re-

sulting in longer stopping distances and

greater wear.

●Before driving down a long, steep gradi-

ent, it is advisable to reduce speed and se-

lect a lower gear. This makes use of engine

braking and relieves the brakes. If you still

have to use the brakes, it is better to brake

firmly at intervals than to apply the brakes

continuously.

Note

●If the brake servo is out of action, for ex-

ample when the car is being towed, you will

have to press the brake pedal considerably

harder than normal to make up for the lack

of servo assistance.

●If you wish to equip the vehicle with ac-

cessories such as a front spoiler or wheel

covers, it is important that the flow of air to »
