If there is damage, consult a qualified
specialist workshop immediately.
When driving off-road, sand, mud and water or
water mixed with oil may get into the brakes.
This may lead to a reduction in braking effect or
total brake failure as a result of increased wear.
The braking characteristics will vary depending
on the material that has entered the system.
Clean the brakes after driving off-road. If you
then notice reduced braking effect or hear
scraping noises, have the brake system checked
at a qualified specialist workshop. Adapt your
driving style to the changed braking characteris‐
tics.
