On long and steep grades, shift to a
lower gear (gear range 1, 2, or 3) to
prevent the brakes from overheating

Following extended periods of only mi-
nor loads to your brake system, you
should occasionally apply the brakes
when traveling at high speeds. This im-
proves the grip of the brake pads.
After hard braking, it is advisable to
drive on for some time so that the air
stream will cool down the brakes fast-
er.
ț
approximately two minutes after you
pressed the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop
button to turn off the engine or power
supply and opened the driver’s door
(with driver’s door open, the starter
switch is set to position 0, same as
SmartKey removed from starter
switch)
After driving on wet or snow-covered
roads, you should apply your brakes
firmly before parking your vehicle. This
produces heat which serves to dry the
brake disks and help prevent corro-
sion.
Only Mercedes-Benz approved compo-
nents (e.g. brake pads) should be in-
stalled on your vehicle. Brake pads not
approved by Mercedes-Benz may im-
pair the safety of your vehicle.
Warning!

approximately 20 seconds after you
locked the vehicle from outside
Be very careful not to endanger other road
users when you apply the brakes.
