byper form ing a visual inspection to
look for pad material wear.
If yo u are unable tocheck the brakepad wear on
th e inside of the wheels, remo vethe wheels if
yo u possess there qu ired skills, or visit a qualified
specialist workshop.
If th e brakepad material thickness is less than
0. 12 in (3 mm), ha vethe brakepads checked and
re placed at a qualified specialist workshop, if
necessar y.
Do not solely rely on the brakepad wear sensor.
It is also strongly recommended that you ha ve
th e brakepads checked at a qualified specialist
wo rkshop, not only at everyservice displa yedby
th e maintenance inter val displa y,but also prior to
long journe ysand when ever the wheels are
re mo ved.
Ne w brake discs and brakepads
New brakepads and brake discs on lyreach their
optimal braking ef fect af ter appro ximately
10 0 miles (100 kilome ters).
Unti lth en, compensate forth ere duced braking
ef fect by applying greater pressure tothe brake
pedal. For saf etyre asons, Mercedes-Benz recom‐
mends that you only ha vebrakepads and brake
discs which are appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz
ins talled on your vehicle.
Other brake discs or brakepads may compromise
th e saf ety of your vehicle.
Alw aysre place all brake discs and brakepads on
an axle at the same time. Alw ays ins tall new
brakepads when replacing brake discs.

WARNING Risk of skidding or an acci‐
dent bybraking with the parking brake
If yo u ha vetobrake your vehicle with the
parking brake, the braking dis tance is consid‐
erab lylonger and the wheels may loc k.There
is an increased risk of skidding and/or acci‐
dent. #
Only brake theve hicle with the parking
brake if the service brake has failed. #
Inthis case, do not apply the parking
brake with too much forc e. #
Ifth e wheels loc k,immediately release
th e parking brake as much as required
fo rth e wheels toturn again. Ve
hicles with a manual parking brake
When driving on wetro ads or dirt-co vered sur fa‐
ces, road salt or dirt may getinto the parking
brake. This causes cor rosion and a reduction of
braking forc e.
In order topreve ntthis, drive with the parking
brake lightly applied from time totime.
When doing so, drive for a dis tance of appr ox‐
imately 300 ftat a maximum speed of 13mph
(20 km/h).
The brake lights do not light up when you brake
th eve hicle with the parking brake.

Hydroplaning &
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning because
tire tread is too low
Depending on the dep thofthewate r onthe
ro adw ay, aquaplaning can occur despite suf fi‐
cient tire tread dep thand low speed. #
Avoid tire ruts and brake carefully. The
refore , in heavy rain or other conditions in
which hydroplaning can occur, drive as follo ws:
R Reduce your speed.
R Avoid tire ruts.
R Brake carefully.
Driving on flooded roads
Bear in mind that vehicles tr aveling in front or in
th e opposite direction create waves. This may
cause the maximum permissible dep thofwa ter
to be exc eeded. These no tes must be obser ved
under all circum stances. Otherwise, you can
damage the engine, electrics and transmission.
If yo u ha vetodrive on stre tches of road on which
wa ter has collected, please bear in mind thefo l‐
lowing:
R The wate r level of standing water may not be
abo vethe lo wer edge of the front bumper.
R You may drive no faster than walking pace.

Ve hicles without steering wheel but tons: if
ASR is malfunctioning, the00E5 indicator lamp

ASR impr oves traction, i.e. the transfer of po wer
from the tires tothero ad sur face, for a sus tained
period and, thereb y,also impr ovesth e driving
st ability of theve hicle. If the driving wheels start
to spin, ASR brakes individual drive wheels and
limits the engine torque. ASRthus significantly
assists you when pulling away and accelerating,
especially on wet or slippe ryroads.
If traction on thero ad sur face is not suf ficient,
eve n ASR will not allow youto pull away without
