Driving instructions
When driving down long and steep grades, relieve the
load on the brakes by shifting into a lower gear to use
the engine’s braking power. This helps prevent

maintenance service.
overheating of the brakes and reduces brake pad wear.
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 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.
Brake pad wear or a leak in the system may be the
reason for low brake fluid in the reservoir.
Driving off
Have the brake system inspected at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center immediately.
Apply the service brakes to test them briefly after
driving off. Perform this procedure only when the road
is clear of other traffic.
All checks and service work on the brake system should
be carried out by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warm up the engine smoothly. Do not place full load on
the engine until the operating temperature has been
reached.
Install only brake pads and brake fluid recommended by
Mercedes-Benz.
When starting off on a slippery surface, do not allow one
drive wheel to spin for an extended period with the ESP
switched off. Doing so may cause serious damage to the
drive train which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
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. This could result in an
accident.
