Warning!
If the parking brake is released and the
brake warning lamp in the instrument
cluster stays on, the brake fluid level in
the reservoir is too low.
The stop lamps will not come on
when applying the parking brake
only. Perform the procedure in the
previous paragraph only when the
road is clear of other traffic.
Brake pad wear or a leak in the system
may be the reason for low brake fluid
in the reservoir.
Resting your foot on the brake pedal
will cause excessive and premature
wear of the brake pads.
Have the brake system inspected at an
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer
immediately.
It can also result in the brakes
overheating thereby significantly
reducing their effectiveness. It may
not be possible to stop the car in
sufficient time to avoid an accident.
Install only brake pads and brake fluid
recommended by MERCEDES-BENZ.
Warning!
Tires
If other than recommended brake
pads are installed, the braking
properties of the vehicle can be
affected to an extent that the safety is
substantially impaired.
Tread wear indicators (TWI) are
required by law. These indicators are
located in six places on the tread
circumference and become visible at a
depth of approx. 2 mm (1/16 in), at
which point the tire is considered worn
and should be replaced.
All checks and maintenance work on
the brake system should be carried out
by an authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer.
The tread wear indicator appears as a
solid band across the tread.
