BRAKE PAD
WEAR
The brake pads have reached their
wear limit.
왘 Have the brake pads replaced as soon as pos-
sible at an authorized Maybach Studio.
Warning! G
Have brake pad replacement and other
work on the electro-hydraulic brake sys-
tem carried out by qualified technicians
only. Contact your Maybach Studio for fur-
ther information. The electro-hydraulic
brake system must be deactivated prior to
working on the system. High pressure is in-
termittently built up in the system as part
of its automatic self-test. In addition, the
system is automatically activated when the
vehicle is unlocked by remote control,
when the driver or passenger door is
opened, when the SmartKey in the starter
switch is turned to position 1, when the
brake pedal is depressed or when the park-
ing brake is released.
Failure to deactivate the system prior to
maintenance will cause brake pistons to
extend and brake fluid to leak, which may
result in injuries (contusions and acid
burns), see “Electro-hydraulic brake sys-
tem” (컄 page 107).
