General notes
• Brake lining wear depends to a large extent on the operating
conditions and style of driving. On vehicles which are used mainly
in town traffic and stop/ start conditions or are driven hard it may
be necessary to have the thickness of the brake linings checked by
a Technical Service Centre in between the intervals given in the
Inspection and Service Schedule.
• Change down in good time when driving downhill, in order to
make use of the engine braking effect. This relieves strain on the
brake system. When the brakes are applied do not keep them on
continuously, apply and release alternately.
What can have a negative effect on the brakes?
