Important information about wheel nuts
F act
ory-fitt ed rims and wheel nuts ar
e spe-
cially mat
ched during construction. There-
fore, if different rims are fitted, the correct
wheel nuts with the right length and heads
must be used. This ensures that wheels are
fitted securely and that the brake system
functions correctly.
In certain circumstances, you should not even
use wheel nuts from vehicles of the same
model.
In wheels with full hubcaps, the anti-theft
locking bolt must be threaded onto positions

Driver assistance systems
Critical warning
If the driv er f
ails t
o r
eact to the advance
warning, the system may actively intervene
in the brakes and generate a brief jolt to warn
the driver of the imminent danger of a colli-
sion.
Automatic braking
If the driver also fails to react to the critical
warning, the system may initiate independ-
ent emergency braking by progressively in-
creasing the braking in accordance with how
critical the situation is.
Driver emergency brake assistance sys-
tem
The system may detect that the driver is not
braking hard enough to avoid the collision. In
this case, it will increase the braking intensity.
The system cannot prevent a collision, al-
though it can significantly minimise the con-
sequences by reducing the speed and the
force of the impact. WARNING
Observe the safety warnings

Driving
brake unnecessarily or stop reacting to the
v ehicl
e in fr ont. In this case
, the driv
er has to
intervene by accelerating or interrupting
braking by applying the brake or pushing the
third lever to position 

Braking and parking
Information about the brakes New brake pads
For the first 200 to 300 km (100 t
o 200
mil
es), new brake pads have not yet reached
their maximum braking capacity, and need to
be “run in” first. However, you can compen-
sate for the slightly reduced braking effect by
applying more pressure on the brake pedal.
Avoid overloading the brakes while running
them in.
Wear
The rate of wear on the brake pads depends
a great deal on how you drive and the condi-
tions in which the vehicle is operated. This is a
particular problem in urban traffic and short
stretches, or with very sporty driving.
Depending on the speed, the braking force
and the environmental conditions (e.g. tem-
perature, air humidity, etc.) noises may be
produced when braking.
Wet roads or road salt
In certain situations (for example, on driving
through flooded areas, in severe downpours
or after washing the vehicle) the braking ac-
tion could be delayed if the discs and pads
are damp, or frozen in winter. In this case the
brakes should be “dried” by pressing the
brake pedal several times. At high speed and with the windscreen wipers
activated, the brak
e pads will briefly t

ouch
the brake discs. This takes place, although
unnoticeable to the driver, at regular intervals
to improve the response time of the brakes
when they are wet.
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be
temporarily reduced if the vehicle is driven for
some distance without using the brakes when
there is a lot of salt on the road in winter. The
layer of salt that accumulates on the discs
and pads can be removed by gently apply-
ing the brakes a few times.
Corrosion
There may be a tendency for corrosion to
form on the discs and dirt to build up on the
brake pads if the vehicle is used infrequently
or the brakes are not used very often.
If the brakes are not used frequently, or if rust
has formed on the disks, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and disks by braking firmly
a few times at a moderately high speed

Hill driving assistant*  Valid for vehicles: with ESC
Fig. 246
Related video The hill driving assistant helps the driver to
move off and upw
ar
d on a hill, both forwards
and backwards, when the vehicle is station-
ary.
The system maintains brake pressure for ap-
proximately two seconds after the foot is tak-
en off the brake pedal, to prevent the vehicle
from moving when it is started. During these 2
seconds, the driver has enough time to re-
lease the clutch pedal and accelerate with-
out the vehicle moving and without having to
use the handbrake, making start-up easier,
more comfortable and safer.
These are the basic operation conditions:
