Advice on driving on salt-strewn roads
The braking effect is limited on salt-strewn road
surfaces.
Therefore, observe the following notes:
Due to salt build-up on the brake disks and
R
brake pads, the braking distance can increase
considerably or result in one-sided braking.
Maintain a much greater safety distance to the
R
vehicle travelling ahead.
Remove salt build-up as follows:
Brake occasionally, paying attention to the
R
traffic conditions
Carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
R
of the journey and when starting the next jour-
ney
Notes on aquaplaning
Aquaplaning can take place if a certain depth of
water has built up on the road surface.
Observe the following notes during heavy precipi-
tation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may
occur:
Reduce speed
R
Avoid tyre ruts
R
Avoid sudden steering movements

Notes on driving through water on the road
Water ingress can damage the drive system, elec-
trics and transmission.
Observe the following if you have to drive through
water:
The water, when calm, may reach no higher
R
than the lower edge of the vehicle body.
Drive at walking pace at most; water can oth-
R
erwise enter the vehicle interior.
Vehicles travelling ahead, or oncoming vehi-
R
cles, can create waves which may exceed the
maximum permissible depth of the water.
The braking effect of the brakes is reduced after
fording. Brake carefully, paying attention to the
traffic conditions until braking power has been
fully restored.
