WARNING
vOnly use Infotainment in such a way that you have control of the vehicle
in every traffic situation (e.g. do not write text messages while driving, do
not link or connect the telephone, do not work with the contact list, do not
enter any destinations, do not connect WLAN or SmartLink etc.)

Before negotiating a long or steep gradient , reduce speed and shift down a
gear. As a result, the braking effect of the engine will be used, reducing the
load on the brakes. If, nevertheless, there is a need for additional braking, it
should be carried out at intervals.
Emergency braking warning - if it is necessary to brake hard, the system may
cause the brake lights to automatically flash, to alert the traffic behind.
New brake pads must first be “run in” because these do not initially have the
best possible braking effect. Drive especially carefully for the first 200 km or
so.
If the brake fluid level is too low, it can cause faults in the braking system

The selector lever lock is indicated by the illumination of the warning light .
Disengage selector lever from P mode or N

If there is a TCS intervention, the warning light ! flashes in the instrument
cluster.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Displaying an error

is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is also
indicated by the symbol ' flashing in the button. Seek help from a specialist
garage.
