Safety information
NOTICE
When driving too quickly through too deep wa‐
ter, water can enter into the engine compart‐
ment, the electrical system or the transmission.
There is a risk of damage to property, among
other potential damage. When driving through
water, do not exceed the maximum indicated
water level and the maximum speed for driving
through water.
Braking safely
General information
The vehicle is equipped with an Antilock Braking
System ABS as a standard feature.
Perform emergency braking in situations that re‐
quire such.
Steering is still responsive. You can still avoid any
obstacles with a minimum of steering effort.
Pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds from the
hydraulic circuits indicate that the Antilock Brak‐
ing System ABS is in its active mode.
In certain braking situations, the perforated brake
discs can emit functional noises. However, func‐
tional noises have no effect on the performance
and operational reliability of the brake.
Objects in the area around the
pedals
Warning
Objects in the driver's floor area can limit the
pedal distance or block a depressed pedal.
There is a risk of accident. Stow objects in the
vehicle such that they are secured and cannot
enter into the driver's floor area. Use floor mats
that are suitable for the vehicle and can be
safely attached to the floor. Do not use loose
floor mats and do not layer several floor mats.
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance for
the pedals. Ensure that the floor mats are se‐
curely fastened again after they were removed,
for instance for cleaning.
Driving in wet conditions
In case of wet roads, exposure to road salt, in
heavy rain, gently press the brake pedal every
few kilometers.
Ensure that this action does not endanger other
road users.
The heat generated during braking dries brake
discs and brake pads and protects them against
corrosion.
In this way braking efficiency will be available
when you need it.
Hills
General information
Drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear
that requires least braking effort. Otherwise, the
brake system may overheat and reduce braking
effect.
You can increase the engine's braking effect by
shifting down, going all the way to first gear, if
needed.
Safety information
Warning
Light but consistent pressure on the brake
pedal can lead to high temperatures, brakes
wearing out and possibly even brake system
failure. There is a risk of accident. Avoid placing
excessive stress on the brake system.
Warning
In idle state or with the engine switched off,
safety functions, for instance engine braking ef‐
fect, braking assistance and steering assis‐
tance, may not be available. There is a risk of
