Notes on hydroplaning
Hydroplaning can take place once a certain
amount of water has accumulated on the road
surface.
Observe the following notes during heavy precip‐
itation or in conditions in which hydroplaning
may occur:
R
Reduce speed
R
Avoid tire ruts
R
Avoid sudden steering movements
R
Brake carefully
%
Also observe the notes on regularly checking
wheels and tires (

page 306).
Notes on driving through water on the road
surface
Water which has entered into the vehicle can
damage the engine, electrics and transmission.
Water can also enter the air intake of the engine
and cause engine damage.
Observe the following if you must drive through
water:
R
The water, when calm, may only reach the
lower edge of the vehicle body.
R
Drive at walking pace at most, otherwise
water can enter the vehicle interior or engine
compartment.
R
Vehicles traveling in front, or oncoming vehi‐
cles, can create waves which may exceed the
maximum permissible depth of the water.
The braking effect of the brakes is reduced after
fording. Brake carefully while paying attention to
the traffic conditions until braking power has
been fully restored.
Function of rear axle steering
The rear axle steering is an electromechanical
auxiliary steering on the rear axle which adjusts
the steering of the rear wheels according to the
position of the front wheels, depending on the
speed. This results in greater maneuverability
and improved stability.
Rear axle steering has the following characteris‐
tics:
R
Reduced steering effort and turning radius
resulting in reduced parking effort
R
Improved driving stability, e.g. when corner‐
ing
R
More direct steering resulting in improved
handling of the vehicle
Observe the notes on snow chains
(
/
page 307) and on activating snow chain
mode.

formance composite brake system

This may lead to noise when braking. This effect
can also occur after washing the vehicle.
The noise depends on the following factors:
R
Speed
R
Brake force
R
Environmental conditions, e.g. temperature
and air humidity
