Ensure that you do not obstruct other road users
when doing so.
The heat generated by braking dries the brake
discs and brake pads and protects them against
corrosion.
This way, brake power is available immediately,
whenever it is needed.
Downhill gradients
General
When driving on long or steep downhill
stretches, use the gear in which the least braking
is required. Otherwise the brake system can
overheat and the braking effect is reduced.
Engine braking effect can be additionally in‐
creased by manually shifting down, even into first
gear, if applicable.
Safety notes
WARNING
Even slight continuous pressure on the brake
pedal can cause overheating, brake pad wear or
even brake system failure. There is a risk of ac‐
cident. Avoid excessive loads on the brake.
WARNING
When idling or with the engine switched off,
safety-relevant functions are restricted or no
longer available, for example the braking effect
of the engine or power assistance for the brak‐
ing force and steering. There is a risk of acci‐
dent. Do not drive at idle speed or with the en‐
gine switched off.
Corrosion of the brake discs
Corrosion of the brake discs and contamination
of the brake pads increase in the following cir‐
cumstances:
▷
Low mileage.
▷
Extended periods when the vehicle is not
used.
▷
Infrequent use of the brakes.
▷
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents.
Should corrosion form on the brake discs, the
brakes will tend to respond with a judder effect
that generally cannot be eliminated.
Condensation when vehicle is
parked
When the automatic air conditioning is in opera‐
tion, condensation develops and exits under‐
neath the vehicle.
Roof rack
General
Roof racks are available as special equipment.
Roof strip with flaps
The mounting points are located on the roof strip
above the doors.
Fold the cover outwards.

rack.
