Warning!
G
Apply the brakes to test them briefly after
driving off. Perform this procedure only
when the road is clear of other traffic.
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking ma-
neuvers.
Only install brake pads and brake fluid
recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
Warm up the engine smoothly. Do not
place full load on the engine until the
operating temperature has been reached.
Refer to the description of the Brake Assist
System (BAS) (୴ page 84).

not allow a drive wheel to spin for an extended
period with the ESP® switched off. Doing so may
Brake pad wear or a leak in the system may
be the reason for low brake fluid level in
the reservoir.
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.
cause serious damage to the drivetrain which is
not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
The brake fluid level in the reservoir may
be too low if the brake warning lamp in the
instrument cluster comes on and an

! Simultaneously depressing the accelerator
pedal and applying the brake reduces engine
performance and causes premature brake and
drivetrain wear.
!
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 overheating of the brakes and
reduces brake pad wear.

Have the brake system inspected
immediately. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
After hard braking, it is advisable to drive
on for some time, rather than immediately
park, so that the air stream will cool down
the brakes faster.
