96BRAKE SYSTEM Brake fluid level If the brake fluid level is too low and brake pedal travel has become longer, there may be a defect in one of the brake system's hydraulic circuits.Proceed to the nearest MINI Dealer. Higher brake application pressure may be necessary under these conditions, there may be a slight pull to one side, and brake pedal travel may be longer. Please remember to adapt your driving style accordingly. <Disc brakes When the vehicle is driven only occasion-ally, during extended periods when the vehicle is not used at all, and in operating conditions where brak e applications are less frequent, there is an increased ten-dency for corrosion of the brake rotors and accumulation of contamination on the brake pads. This occurs because the mini-mal pressure that must be exerted by the pads to clean the rotors by brake applica-tions is not reached. Corrosion on brake rotors is signaled by a running or pulsation during braking; even extended subsequent braking will not cure this phenomenon. It is a good idea to periodically dry the brakes with a gentle application when driv-ing in rain and on wet roads. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure that this maneuver does not endanger other road users. The resulting heat dries the brake rotors and pads. Then if the braking force is needed, it is immediately available.Driving downhillTo prevent overheating and the resulting reduced efficiency of the brake system, drive down extended or steep mountain gradients in the gear which requires the leas t brake applications. Otherwise, even light but consistent pedal pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake fail-ure. < The braking effect of the engine can be fur-ther utilized by downshifting, to first gear if necessary, in the manual mode of the auto-matic transmission, refer to page 55. This protects the brakes from excessive loads. Do not coast with the clutch pedal pressed or with the transmission or selector lever in Neutral. Do not coast with the engine switched off. The engine pro-vides no braking effect when the transmis-sion is in Neutral, and there is no power-assist for braking or steering when the engine is switched off. Make sure that there are no floor mats, floor carpets or other objects in the vicinity of the brake or accelerator pedal, as the travel path of the pedals could otherwise be impeded. <Brake pads Brake pad sensors in the left brake pads of the front axle and in the right brake pads of the rear axle monitor the brake pad condi-tion. When the brake pads reach the wear limit, the brake wear warning lights up, refer to page 18.Use brake pads which the manufac-turer of your MINI has approved for your particular vehicle model. The manu-facturer of your MINI cannot evaluate non-approved brake pads to determine if they are suitable for use, and therefore cannot ensure the operating safety of the vehicle in the event of their use. <
