Operation
Driving instructions
! When driving down long and steep
grades, relieve the load on the brakes by shift-
ing into a lower gear to use the engine’s brak-
ing power. This helps prevent overheating of
the brakes and reduces brake pad wear.
After hard braking, it is advisable to
drive on for some time, rather than im-
mediately park the vehicle, so that the
air stream can cool down the brakes fast-
er.
Apply the brakes to test them briefly af-
ter driving off. Perform this procedure
only when the road is clear of other traf-
fic.
Warm up the engine smoothly. Do not
place full load on the engine until the
operating temperature has been
reached.
! When driving off on a slippery surface, do
not allow a drive wheel to spin for an extend-
ed period with the ESP
®
switched off. Doing
so may cause serious damage to the drivetrain
which is not covered by the Maybach Limited
Warranty.
i Simultaneously depressing the accelera-
tor pedal and applying the brake reduces en-
gine performance and causes premature
brake and drivetrain wear.
Warning! G
If other than recommended brake pads are
installed, or other than recommended
brake fluid is used, the braking properties
of the vehicle can be degraded to an ex-
tent that safe braking is substantially im-
paired. This could result in an accident.
