Information on the AMG ceramic high-per‐
formance composite brake system
The brake system is designed for heavy loads.
This may lead to noise when braking. This effect
can also occur after washing the vehicle.
The noise depends on the following factors:
speed
R
brake force
R
environmental conditions, e.g. temperature
R
and air humidity
%
Have the brake system checked at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop after it has been
subjected to extreme loads.
