Note on driving with the electro-hydrau-
lic brake system
앫 Following extended periods of only
minor loads to your brake system,
you should occasionally apply the
brakes when traveling at high speeds.
This improves the grip of the brake
pads.
앫 After driving on wet or snow-covered
roads, you should apply your brakes
firmly before parking your vehicle.
This produces heat which serves to
dry the brake disks and help prevent
corrosion.
앫 On long and steep grades, shift to a
lower gear (gear range 1, 2 or 3) to
prevent the brakes from overheating
and to reduce brake wear.
앫 After hard braking, it is advisable to
drive on for some time so that the air
stream will cool down the brakes
faster.
앫 Only components approved by us for
use on Maybach vehicles (e.g. brake
pads) should be installed on your ve-
hicle. Brake pads not approved by us
for use on Maybach vehicles may im-
pair the safety of your vehicle.
Warning! G
Be very careful not to endanger other road
users when you apply the brakes.
