103OVERVIEW REPAIRS OPERATION CONTROLS DATA INDEXGENERAL DRIVING NOTES Safe braking Your vehicle is equipped with ABS as a stan-dard feature. If you are in a situation which requires full braking, it is best to brake using maximum brake pressure. Since the vehicle remains maneuverable, you can still go around any obstacles with the smallest possible steering movements.The pulsation of the brake pedal, together with the sound of hydraulic regulation, indicates to you that ABS is actively taking effect.Wet roads: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 hinder other road users. The resulting heat dries brake rotors and pads. Then if the braking force is needed, it is immediately available.Driving downhill:To prevent overheating and the resulting reduced efficiency of the brake system, drive down extended or steep mountain gradients in the gear which requires the least brake applications. Otherwise, even light but consistent pres-sure on the brake can lead to high tempera-tures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure. <The braking effect of the engine can be increased by downshifting in the manual mode of the automatic transmission, to first gear if necessary, refer to page 58 . This protects the brakes from excessive loads.Do not coast with the clutch depressed, the transmission in idle or the engine switched off. Otherwise, the engine provides no braking effect, and there is no power-assist for braking or steering.Make sure that there are no floor mats, floor carpets or other objects in the vicinity of the pedals; otherwise pedal function could be impeded. <Corrosion on the brake rotors:When the vehicle is driven only occasion-ally, during extended periods when the vehicle is not used at all, and in operating conditions where brake 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.Brake padsSensors in the left front and right rear brake pads monitor pad condi-tion. When the brake pads have worn to the permissible limit, this is indi-cated by the brake wear warning light, refer to page 18 .HydroplaningWhen driving on wet or slushy roads, reduce road speed. If you do not, a wedge of water can form between tires and road surface. This phenomenon is char-acterized by a partial or complete loss of contact between the tires and the road sur-face. The ultimate results are loss of steer-ing and braking control. <
