Braking
safely
General
information The
vehicle
is
equipped
with
the
Antilock
Brake
System
ABS
as
a
standard
feature.
Perform
an
emergency
stop
in
situations
that
rej
quire
such.
Steering
is
still
responsive.
You
can
still
avoid
any
obstacles
with
a
minimum
of
steering
effort.
Pulsation
of
the
brake
pedal
and
sounds
from
the
hydraulic
circuits
indicate
that
the
Antilock
Brake
System
ABS
is
in
its
active
mode.
In
certain
braking
situations,
the
perforated
brake
discs
can
emit
functional
noises.
However,
funcj
tional
noises
have
no
effect
on
the
performance
and
operational
reliability
of
the
brake.
Objects
in
the
area
around
the
pedals
Warning
Objects
in
the
driver's
floor
area
can
limit
the pedal
distance
or
block
a
depressed
pedal.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
Stow
objects
in
the vehicle
such
that
they
are
secured
and
cannotenter
into
the
driver's
floor
area.
Use
floor
mats
that
are
suitable
for
the
vehicle
and
can
be
safely
attached
to
the
floor.
Do
not
use
loose
floor
mats
and
do
not
layer
several
floor
mats.
Make
sure
that
there
is
sufficient
clearance
for
the
pedals.
Ensure
that
the
floor
mats
are
sej
curely
fastened
again
after
they
were
removed,
for
instance
for
cleaning.
Driving

wet
conditions
When
roads
are
wet,
salted,
or
in
heavy
rain,
genj
tly
press
the
brake
pedal
every
few
miles.
Ensure
that
this
action
does
not
endanger
other
traffic.
The
heat
generated
during
braking
dries
brake discs
and
brake
pads
and
protects
them
against corrosion.
In
this
way
braking
efficiency
will
be
available when
you
need
it.
Hills General
information

long
or
steep
downhill
gradients
in
the
gear
that

Brake
disc
corrosion
Corrosion
on

mileage.'xExtended
periods
when
the

is
not
used
at
all.'xInfrequent
use
of
the
brakes.'xAggressive,
acidic,
or
alkaline
cleaning
agents.
Corrosion
buildup

the
brake
discs

-
generally
this
cannot
be
corrected.
