denly. When EBA is activated the brake pedal
depresses a little further than usual.

as necessary – all braking ceases if the pedal

CAR CARE

Handwashing is gentler on the paintwork than
an automatic car wash. The paintwork is also
more sensitive when it is new. For this reason,
handwashing is recommended during the first
few months with a new car.
Use clean water and a washing sponge.
Remember that dirt ad grit can scratch the
paintwork.
