WARNING

Even with this function the vehicle cannot steer itself! The driver is further-

more responsible for the steering of the vehicle!

Brakes

What has a negative effect on braking efficiency?

Wear-and-tear

Wear-and-tear to the brake pads is greatly dependent on the operating conditions

of the vehicle and your style of driving. Particularly if you drive a great deal in towns

and over short distances or if you adopt a sporty style of driving, it may be neces-

sary to have the thickness of the brake pads inspected at a specialist garage

between the service inspections.

Wet roads or road salt

There may be a certain delay before the brakes take full effect under certain condi-

tions such as when driving through water, during heavy rain showers or after the

vehicle has been washed in an automatic vehicle wash, since the brake discs and

brake pads may be moist or even have a coating of ice on them in winter. You

should dry the brakes as soon as possible by applying and releasing the brakes

several times.

There also may be a certain delay before the full braking efficiency is available when

driving on roads which have been treated with road salt if you have not used the

brakes for some considerable time beforehand. The layer of salt on the brake discs

and brake pads must first be rubbed off when you apply the brakes.

Corrosion

Corrosion on the brake discs and dirt on the bake pads occur if the vehicle has been

parked for a long period and if you do not make much use of the braking system.

We recommend cleaning the brake discs by firmly applying the brakes at a fairly

high speed if you do not make much use of the braking system or if surface corro-

sion is present ⇒ .

Faults in the brake surface

If you notice that the braking distance has suddenly become longer and that the

brake pedal can be depressed further, it is possible that a brake circuit of the dual-

circuit brake system has failed. Drive, in such cases, to the nearest specialist garage

without delay in order to have the problem rectified. Drive at a reduced speed while

on your way to the dealer and adapt your style of driving to the higher brake pedal

pressure required.

Low brake fluid level

An insufficient level of brake fluid may result in problems in the brake system. The

level of the brake fluid is monitored electronically ⇒ page 41, “Brake system ”.

WARNING

• Only apply the brakes for the purpose of drying and cleaning the brake

discs if the traffic conditions permit this. Do not place any other road users

in jeopardy.

• When retrospectively mounting a front spoiler, solid wheel hubs etc. one

must ensure that the air supply to the front wheel brakes is not reduced

otherwise the braking system could run too hot.

• Allow for the fact that new brake pads do not achieve their full braking

efficiency until approximately 200 kilometres. New brake pads must be first

“run in” before they develop their optimal friction force. You can, however,

compensate for this slightly reduced braking force by increasing the pres-

sure on the brake pedal. This guideline also applies to any new brake pads

installed at a future date.

Caution

• Never allow the brakes to rub by applying slight pressure if you do not wish to

brake the vehicle. This causes the brakes to overheat and can also result in a longer

braking distance and excessive wear.

• Before negotiating a steep downhill section, please reduce your speed, shift

down into the next lower gear (manual gearbox) or select a lower driving stage

(automatic gearbox). This enables you to make full use of the braking power of the
