Driving instructions
All checks and service work on the brake
system should be carried out by qualified
technicians only. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.

!
When driving down long and steep grades,
Warning!
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.
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking
maneuvers.
Only install brake pads and brake fluid
recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
When using the engine’s braking power, a drive
wheel may not spin for an extended period of
time, e.g. on slippery road surfaces. This may
cause serious damage to the drivetrain which is
not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
Refer to the description of the Brake Assist
System (BAS) (୴ page 100).
G
Warning!
Brake pad wear or a leak in the system may
be the reason for low brake fluid 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.
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.
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 401).
Observe additional messages in the multi-
function display that may appear
(୴ page 430).
Have the brake system inspected
immediately. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
