Operation
Driving instructions
If your brake system is normally only sub-
jected to moderate loads, you should occa-
sionally test the effectiveness of the
brakes by applying above-normal braking
pressure at higher speeds. This will also
enhance the grip of the brake pads.
Brake pad wear or a leak in the system may
be the reason for low brake fluid level in
the reservoir.
Warning!
G
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.
The brake fluid level in the reservoir may
be too low if the brake warning lamp in the
instrument cluster comes on and an
acoustic warning sounds although the
parking brake is released (୴ page 383).
Observe additional messages in the multi-
function display that may appear
(୴ page 413).
Warning!
G
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking ma-
neuvers.
!
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.
Refer to the description of the Brake Assist
System (BAS) (୴ page 99).
All checks and service work on the brake
system should be carried out by qualified
technicians only. 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.
Only install brake pads and brake fluid
recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
