Warning!
Due to the installed starter non-repeat
feature, the key must be turned
completely to the left before attempting
to start the engine again.
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.
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.
Observe the oil pressure gauge
immediately after starting the engine.
In a very cold engine the oil pressure
will rise slowly. Do not speed up the
engine before pressure is registered on
the pressure gauge. If you do not see
the gauge register oil pressure, stop the
engine and have it checked.
Resting your foot on the brake pedal
will cause excessive and premature
wear of the brake pads.
Brakes
Caution!
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.
The battery charge indicator lamp
should go out as soon as the engine has
started.
When driving down long and steep
grades, relieve the load on the brakes
by shifting into "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.
If the preglow indicator lamp fails to
light up, or lights up while driving, the
preglow system is defective and should
be repaired at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer at the earliest
possible date.
The condition of the parking brake
system is checked each time the car is
in the shop for the required
maintenance.
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.
All checks and maintenance work on
the brake system should be carried out
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealer.
The engine is equipped with a block
heater to provide reliable starting at
temperatures below 0°F (-18°C). Refer
to Winter Driving in Index.
