DRIVING HINTS
In addition, the climate comfort laminated
glass reduces heat radiation and ensures less
heating of the interior.
Radio signals
WARNING
Certain vehicle functions may be affected by
interference from high-frequency radio sig-
nals. Such signals are output from a series
of transmission systems, for example from
air traffic beacons or relay stations for mobile
telecommunications.
We recommend you consult your Service
Partner should you experience any difficul-
ties.
Mobile radio in the vehicle
WARNING
There is a possibility of reciprocal interfer-
ence between the vehicle electronics and
mobile radio devices. Radiation is generated
when mobile radio devices are transmitting.
There is a danger of injury or material dam-
age. If possible, only use mobile radio devi-
ces, for example mobile phones, inside the
vehicle if they are connected directly to an
external aerial or personal eSIM in order to
eliminate reciprocal interference and to divert
the radiation away from the vehicle interior.
Aquaplaning
On wet or slushy roads, a water wedge can
form between the tyres and the road.
This phenomenon is known as aquaplaning
and can cause the tyre to lose contact partially
or fully with the road surface, meaning that the
vehicle can neither be steered, nor the brakes
properly applied.

Online Edition for Part no. 01405A7AFB2 - II/23
Driving through water
General
Please comply with the following when driving
through water:
▷ Only drive through still water.
▷ Only drive through water up to a max.
depth of 25 cm, 9.8 in.
▷ Drive through water at a walking speed of
no more than 5 km/h, 3 mph.
Safety information
NOTICE
Driving through excessively deep water too
fast can result in water getting under the
bonnet or into the electrical system or trans-
mission. There is a risk of material damage.
When driving through water, do not exceed
the maximum water depth and maximum
speed specified above.
Safe braking
General
The vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Brak-
ing System as standard.
Perform full braking in situations that require it.
In order to achieve the best possible braking
force assistance, do not reduce the pressure
on the brake pedal during full braking.
The vehicle remains steerable. Steer as
smoothly as possible to avoid any obstacles.
A pulsing of the brake pedal and hydraulic reg-
ulating sounds indicate that the Anti-lock Brak-
ing System is functioning.
In certain braking situations, the perforated
brake discs can cause functional noise. How-
ever, the functional noises have no effect on
the efficiency and operational safety of the
brake.
