Braking system
Information about the brakes
During the rst 200 to 300 km, new brake
pads do not provide maximum braking power
and still have to “settle” ››› . When running
in the brake pads, the emergency braking
distance is longer than after they have been
run in. During the run-in, avoid sharp braking
and situations that place a lot of demand on
the brakes, e.g. driving too close to another
vehicle.
Brake pad wear depends to a large extent on
the conditions in which the vehicle is used, and
driving style. If the vehicle is frequently used
in city traic and for short distances, or for
sporty driving, brake pad thickness should be
checked regularly at a specialist workshop.
When driving with wet brakes, e.g. after driving
through water, in heavy rain or after washing
the vehicle, braking performance may be af-
fected by wet brake discs, or even frozen discs
in winter. The driver should be ready to brake
harder.
If the brake discs and pads have a layer
of salt on them, the braking performance is
reduced and the braking distance increases.
When driving on salted roads without braking
for some time, the layer of salt should be re-
moved by carefully applying the brakes a few
times ›››
