Brakes

Excessive use of salt and other snow melting chemicals

spread on roads during the winter months may cause a

build up of moisture or residue to form on the braking

components. This build up or residue could cause light

corrosion of the braking components if the vehicle is

parked with the brakes cold. Apply steady and even

braking pressure when stopping the vehicle to warm up

and dry the brake components.

Important!

Please pay attention to the function of the brake assist

system (BAS), see page 277.

The condition of the parking brake system is checked

each time the vehicle is in the shop for the required

maintenance service at an authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center.

Warning!

When the engine is not running, the brake and

steering systems are without power assistance.

Under these circumstances, a much greater effort is

necessary to stop or steer the vehicle.

Warning!

After driving in heavy rain for some time without

applying the brakes or through water deep enough

to wet brake components or salty road conditions,

the first braking action may be somewhat reduced

and increased pedal pressure may be necessary to

obtain expected braking effect. Be sure to maintain

a safe distance from vehicles in front.

Resting your foot on the brake pedal will cause

excessive and premature wear of the brake pads.

It can also result in the brakes overheating thereby

significantly reducing their effectiveness. It may

not be possible to stop the vehicle in sufficient time

to avoid an accident.
