Driving and operating117Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.Brakes
The brake system comprises twoindependent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing the journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R 3 71.
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting-off the system performs a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 72.
Adaptive brake light
During full braking, all three brake
lights flash for the duration of ABS
control.

130Driving and operatingNotice
In the event of an accident, switch off
the ignition and lights.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off
ignition and any external heaters
with combustion chambers.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Pull up the fuel filler flap release
lever located on the floor, left front
side of driver's seat.
The fuel filler flap is located at right
rear side of the vehicle.
3. Turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise slowly. If a
hissing sound is heard, wait for it
to stop before completely
unscrewing the cap.
4. Remove the cap. The cap is tethered to the vehicle.
