with
a
minimum
of
steering
effort.
Pulsation
of
the
brake
pedal
and
sounds
from
the
hydraulic
circuits
indicate
that
the
Antilock
Brak#j ing
System
ABS
is
in
its
active
mode.
In
certain
braking
situations,
the
perforated
brake
discs
can
emit
functional
noises.
However,
func#j
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
se#j
curely
fastened
again
after
they
were
removed,
for
instance
for
cleaning.
Driving
in
wet
conditions
In
case
of
wet
roads,
exposure
to
road
salt,
in
heavy
rain,
gently
press
the
brake
pedal
every few
kilometers.
Ensure
that
this
action
does
not
endanger
other road
users.
The
heat
generated
during
braking
dries
brake discs
and
brake
pads
and
protects
them
againstcorrosion.
In
this
way
braking
efficiency
will
be
available
when
you
need
it.
Hills General
information
Drive
long
or
steep
downhill
gradients
in
the
gear
that
requires
least
braking
effort.
Otherwise,
the brake
system
may
overheat
and
reduce
brakingeffect.
You
can
increase
the
engine's
braking
effect
by shifting
down,
going
all
the
way
to
first
gear,
if
needed.
