REFERENCE AT A GLANCE CONTROLS DRIVING TIPS MOBILITY 85The risk of hydroplaning increases with declining tread depth on the tires, refer also to Tread depth on page100.Driving through waterDrive through water on the road only if it is not deeper than 1 ft/30 cm, and then only at walking speed at the most. Otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the electrical systems and the transmission may be damaged. <Parking brake on inclinesOn inclines, do not hold the vehicle with the clutch; use the parking brake. Other-wise greater clutch wear will result. <For information on driving off using Hill Start Assist*, refer to page58.Braking safelyYour MINI is equipped with ABS. If you are in a situation which requires full braking, it is best to brake using maximum brake pressure. Since the vehicle maintains steering responsiveness, you can still avoid possible obstacles with a mini-mum of steering effort.The pulsation of the brake pedal, together with the sound of hydraulic regulation, indicates that ABS is actively taking effect.Driving in wet conditionsWhen roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every few miles. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure that this maneuver does not endanger other road users. The heat generated in this process helps dry the pads and rotors to ensure that Then full braking force will be immediately avail-able when it is needed.HillsTo prevent overheating and the resulting reduced efficiency of the brake system, drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Even light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure. <You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down, all the way to first gear if necessary. This strategy helps you avoid placing excessive loads on the brake system. Downshifting in man-ual mode of the automatic transmission, page 40.Never drive with the clutch held down, with the transmission in neutral or with the engine switched off; otherwise, engine brak-ing action will not be present or there will be no power assistance to the brakes or steering. Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other objects to protrude into the area around the pedals, otherwise pedal function could be impaired.<Corrosion on brake rotorsWhen the vehicle is driven only occasionally, 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 tendency for corrosion to form on rotors, while contaminants accumulate on the brake pads. This occurs because the minimum pressure which must be exerted by the pads during brake applications to clean the rotors is not reached.Should corrosion form on the brake rotors, the brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating effect that even extended application will fail to cure.When the vehicle is parkedCondensation forms while the automatic climate control is in operation, and then exits under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water under the vehicle are therefore normal.In the MINI Cooper S, the coolant pump may continue to run for some time after the engine is switched off. This will generate noise in the engine compartment.Before driving into a car washAvoid car washes with tracks higher than 4 in/10 cm, otherwise the chassis could be damaged.<For general information about vehicle care for your MINI, refer to the chapter beginning on page109.
