Warning!

When driving on wet roads or dirt covered
surfaces, road salt and/or dirt can get into
the parking brake. To prevent corrosion
and a reduction in the braking power of the
parking brake, observe the following:
The high-performance brake system is
designed to operate under the extremely
high operating demands required to
accommodate the performance capabili-
ties of the vehicle. The brakes may
produce a squeaking-type noise depending
on the
New vehicle brake pads and discs, and
replacement brake pads and discs may take
several hundred miles of driving until they
provide optimum braking efficiency. Until
that time, you may need to use increased
brake pedal pressure while braking. Please
be aware of this and adjust your driving and
braking accordingly during this break-in
period.
̈ From time to time, lightly engage the
parking brake before driving off.

Drive a distance of approximately

yds (100 m) at a maximum speed
brake force applied
of 12 mph (20 km/h)
Excessive high demand braking will cause
correspondingly high brake wear. Please be
attentive to the brake warning lamp in the
instrument cluster and brake condition mes-
sages in the multifunction display.
Especially for high performance driving, it is
important to maintain and have the brake
system checked regularly.

Warning!
G
As with any brake system, the wear of indi-
vidual brake system components such as
brake pads or disks strongly depends on
your driving style and the conditions under
which you operate the vehicle. Thus, a driv-
ing style calling for high demand braking
will cause your vehicle’s brakes to wear
more quickly.
While performing this procedure, please as-
sure that the vehicle is stopped before ap-
plying the parking brake. Otherwise the rear
wheels could lock up. You could lose control
of the vehicle and cause an accident. In ad-
dition, the vehicle’s brake lights do not light
up when the parking brake is engaged.
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when you engage the parking brake.
