Braking


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Information for braking
Handbrake
WARNING
Greater physical effort is required for braking when the engine is switched
■
off – risk of accident!
The clutch pedal must be actuated when braking on a vehicle with manual
■
transmission, when the vehicle is in gear and at low revs. Otherwise, the func-
tion of the brake booster may 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
could then start to move – 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.
