Warning!
G
Apply the brakes to test them briefly after
driving off. Perform this procedure only
when the road is clear of other traffic.
!
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.
Set the parking brake whenever park-
ing or leaving the vehicle. In addition,
move selector lever to position P.
Warm up the engine gradually. Do not
place full load on the engine until the oper-
ating temperature has been reached.
In addition, when parking on hills, turn
front wheels towards the road curb.
When starting off on a slippery surface, do
not allow one drive wheel to spin for an ex-
tended period. Doing so may cause serious
damage to the drive train which is not cov-
ered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited War-
ranty.

!
Warning!
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 pre-
vent overheating of the brakes and re-
duces brake pad wear.
Do not park this vehicle in areas where com-
bustible materials such as grass, hay or
leaves can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system, as these materials could be
ignited and cause a vehicle fire.
!
Simultaneously depressing the acceler-
ator pedal and applying the brake re-
duces engine performance and causes
premature brake wear and drivetrain
wear.
After hard braking, it is advisable to drive
on for some time, rather than immediately
parking, so that the air stream can cool
down the brakes faster.
