High-performance and ceramic brakes
(Mercedes AMG vehicles)
The AMG brake systems are designe dfor heavy
loads. Thism ay leadtonoisew henb raking. This
will depend on:
RSpeed
RBraking force
REnvironmental conditions, such as tempera-
ture and humidity
The wear of individua lcomponents of the brake
system, such as the brake pads/lining sorbrake
discs, depends on the individua ldriving style
and operating conditions.
For this reason, it is impossible to state amile-
ag ethat will be valid under al lcircumstances. An aggressive driving styl
ewilll ea dtoh ighw ear.
You can obtain more information on this from a
qualified specialist workshop.
New and replaced brake pads and discs only
reach thei roptimum braking effect afte rseveral
hundred kilometers of driving. Compensate for
this by applying greater force to the brake pedal.
Kee pthis in mind ,and adap tyou rd riving and
braking accordingly during this break-in period.
Excessive heavy braking results in correspond-
ingl yhighb rake wear. Observe the brake wear
warning lamp in the instrument cluster and note
any brake statu smessages in the multifunction
display. Especiall yfor hig hperformance driving,
it is important to maintain and hav ethe brake
system checked regularly.
