Starting and driving

Brake system

Brake servo

If the car is rolling or is being towed with the

engine turned off, the brake pedal must be

pressed about five times harder than when

the engine is running. If the brake pedal is

pressed when the engine is started, you will

feel the pedal drop. This is normal and due to

the brake servo becoming active. This may be

more noticeable if the car has emergency

brake assistance (EBA).

NOTE! If braking with the engine switched

off, press the brake pedal sharply once, not

repeatedly.

Brake circuits

This symbol lights if a brake circuit is

not working.

If a fault should occur in one of the

circuits, it is still possible to brake the car. The

brake pedal will travel further and may feel

softer than normal. Harder pressure on the

pedal is needed to produce the normal

braking effect.

Dampness can affect braking

characteristics

Brake components become wet when the car

is driven in heavy rain, through pools of water

or when the car is washed. This may alter

brake pad friction characteristics so that

there is a delay before braking effect is

noticed.

Press the brake pedal lightly from time to time

if driving for long stretches in rain or slushy

snow, as well as after setting off in very damp

or cold weather. This warms up the braking

surfaces and dries off any water. It is also

recommended to do this before parking the

car for a long period in such weather condi-

tions.

If the brakes are used heavily

When driving in the Alps or other roads with

similar characteristics, the car’s brakes are

heavily loaded even if the brake pedal is not

being depressed especially hard.

Because speed is often low, the brakes are

not cooled as effectively as when driving on

flat roads at higher speed.

So as not to overload the brakes, shift down

when driving downhill instead of using the

foot brake. Use the same gear driving

downhill as you would use driving uphill. This

using engine braking more efficiently and

requires the foot brake for only brief periods.

Bear in mind that driving with a trailer puts an

additional load on the car’s brakes.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

The anti-lock braking system (ABS)

prevents the wheels from locking up

under braking.

This means the ability to steer is

maintained and it is easier to swerve to avoid

a hazard, for example.

After the engine has been started, the ABS

will perform a brief self-test at a speed of

about 20 km/h. This can be felt and heard as

pulses in the brake pedal.

To get the most out of the ABS:

• Press brake pedal with full force. Pulses

will be felt.

• Steer the car in the direction of travel. Do

not release the pressure on the pedal.

Practice braking with the ABS system in a

traffic-free area and in different weather

conditions.

The ABS symbol lights up:

• for about two seconds when the car is

started if the ABS is disengaged due to a

fault.

WARNING!

The brake servo only works when the

engine is running.
