recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
When driving on wet roads or dirt covered
surfaces, road salt and/or dirt can get into
the parking brake.
G Warning!
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.
To prevent corrosion and a reduction in the
braking power of the parking brake, observe
the following:
X From time to time, lightly engage the
parking brake before driving off.
X Drive a distance of approximately 110 yds

may otherwise seriously damage the brake
system which is not covered by the

If your brake system is only subjected to
moderate loads, you should occasionally 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.
not allow a drive wheel to spin for an
extended period with the ESP® switched
off. Doing so may cause serious damage to
the drivetrain which is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
!
Simultaneously depressing the
accelerator pedal and applying the brakes
reduces engine performance and causes
premature brake and drivetrain wear which
is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
G Warning!
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking
maneuvers.
Refer to the description of the Brake Assist
System (BAS) (Y page 63).
