overheated brake system
If you rest your foot on the brake pedal whilst
driving, the brake system may overheat.

NOTE Wearing out the brake linings by
continuously depressing the brake pedal
#
Do not depress the brake pedal contin‐
uously whilst driving.

To use the braking effect of the engine,
shift to a lower gear in good time.

NOTE Damage to the drivetrain and the
engine when pulling away
#
Do not warm up the engine when the
vehicle is stationary. Pull away immedi‐
ately.
#
Avoid high engine speeds and driving at
full throttle until the engine has reached
operating temperature.

Non-combusted fuel may get into the cata‐
lytic converter.
#
Only depress the accelerator pedal
slightly.

Have the cause rectified immediately at
a qualified specialist workshop.
Limited braking effect on salt-treated roads:

the braking distance can increase considera‐
bly due to salt build-up on the brake disks

To prevent salt build-up:
R
brake occasionally while paying attention to
the traffic conditions.
R
carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
