Driving and pa rking

Therefore, obser
vethefo llowing no tes:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
considerably orresult in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front
To remo vesalt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions
R carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
Note s on aquaplaning
Aq uaplaning can take place once a cer tain
amount of water has accumulated on thero ad

itation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may
occur:
R reduce speed
R avoid tyre ruts R
avoid sudden steering mo vements
R brake carefully

nction of rear axle steering The
rear axle steering is an electromechanical
auxiliary steering on there ar axle which adjusts
th esteering of there ar wheels according tothe
position of the front wheels, depending on the

and impr ovedstabilit y.
Re ar axle steering has thefo llowing characteris‐
tics:
R reduced steering ef fort and turning circle
re sulting in reduced parking ef fort
R impr oved driving stabilit y,e.g. when corner‐
