Braking
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Information for braking
Handbrake
WARNING
Greater physical effort for braking is required when the engine is switched
■
off – risk of accident!
During the braking procedure on a vehicle with manual transmission, when
■
the vehicle is in gear and at low revs, press the clutch pedal. If you fail to do
so, the functionality of the brake booster can be impaired – risk of accident!
If a front spoiler, full wheel trim, etc. is mounted retrospectively, it must be
■
ensured that the air supply to the front wheel brakes is not reduced. The front
brakes may overheat which can have a negative impact on the functioning of
the braking system – risk of accident!
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. The children might, for ex-
■
ample, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The vehicle
might then move off – risk of accident!
CAUTION
Observe the recommendations on the new brake pads
■
Never let the brakes slip with light pressure on the pedal if braking is not neces-
■
sary. This causes the brakes to overheat and can also result in a longer braking
distance and excessive wear.
Information for braking
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 119.
If the brakes are applied in full and the control unit for the braking system consid-
