DRIVING TIPS
Safety information
Warning
Light but consistent pressure on the brake
pedal can lead to high temperatures, brake
wear and possibly even brake system failure.
There is a risk of accident. Avoid placing ex-
cessive stress on the brake system.
Warning
In idle state or with the drive-ready state
switched off, safety functions, for instance
engine braking effect, braking assistance and
steering assistance, may not be available.
There is a risk of accident. Do not attempt
to drive in idle state or with drive-ready state
switched off.
Brake disk corrosion
Corrosion on the brake disks and contamina-
tion on the brake pads are increased by the
following circumstances:
▷ Low mileage.
▷ Extended stationary periods.
▷ Infrequent use of the brakes.
▷ Aggressive, acidic, or alkaline cleaning
agents.
Corrosion buildup on the brake disks will cause
a pulsating effect on the brakes when braking
slowly - generally this cannot be corrected.
Condensation water under the
parked vehicle
When using the automatic climate control, con-
densation water develops and collects under-
neath the vehicle.
