If the parking brake is released and the

brake warning lamp in the instrument

cluster stays on, the brake fluid level in

the reservoir is too low.

Brake pad wear or a leak in the system

may be the reason for low brake fluid

in the reservoir.

Have the brake system inspected at an

authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer

immediately.

Install only brake pads and brake fluid

recommended by MERCEDES-BENZ.

Warning!

If other than recommended brake

pads are installed, the braking

properties of the vehicle can be

affected to an extent that the safety is

substantially impaired.

Tires

Tread wear indicators (TWI) are

required by law. These indicators are

located in six places on the tread

circumference and become visible at a

depth of approx. 2 mm (1/16 in), at

which point the tire is considered worn

and should be replaced.

The tread wear indicator appears as a

solid band across the tread.

Warning!

Do not allow your tires to wear down

too far. With less than 3 mm (1/8 in)

of tread, the adhesion properties on

a wet road are sharply reduced.

Depending upon the weather and/or

road surface (conditions), the tire

traction varies widely.

Specified tire pressures must be

maintained. This applies particularly if

the tires are subjected to high loads

(e.g. high speeds, heavy loads, high

ambient temperatures).

Warning!

Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat

tire affects the ability to steer or

brake the vehicle. You may lose

control of the car. Continued driving

with a flat tire or driving at high

speed with a flat tire will cause

excessive heat build-up and possibly

a fire, or tire blowout.
