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.
After driving in heavy rain for some
time without applying the brakes or
through water deep enough to wet
brake components, the first braking
action may be somewhat reduced
and increased pedal pressure may be
necessary. Be sure to maintain a safe
distance from vehicles in front.
Warning!
When the engine is not running, the
brake and steering systems are
without power assistance. Under
these circumstances, a much greater
effort is necessary to stop or steer the
vehicle.
Brake pad wear or a leak in the system
may be the reason for low brake fluid
in the reservoir.
Have the brake system inspected at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer
immediately.
Brakes
Resting your foot on the brake pedal
will cause excessive and premature
wear of the brake pads.
Caution!
Install only brake pads and brake fluid
recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
When driving down long and steep
grades, relieve the load on the brakes by
shifting into "3", "2" or "B" (model S
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.
Warning!
If other than recommended brake
pads are installed, or other than
recommended brake fluid is used,
the braking properties of the vehicle
can be degraded to an extent that
safe braking is substantially
impaired.
320:
"3" or "2"). This helps prevent
overheating of the brakes and reduces
brake pad wear. Do not exceed engine
speed limits. Refer to Technical Data for
downshift points.
The condition of the parking brake
system is checked each time the car is
in the shop for the required
maintenance.
All checks and maintenance work on
the brake system should be carried out
by an authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer.
After hard braking, it is advisable to
drive on for some time, rather than
immediately parking, so the air stream
will cool down the brakes faster.
