protection at low temperatures or a
sudden drop in temperature.

BRAKES
Depending on the driving style, the brake
wear may vary significantly.The brake
wear may increase when the vehicle is
driven over short distances, e.g. in the
city.
It may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates that
the brake pads are worn.
Once new brake linings are installed, do
not brake unnecessarily hard for the first
few journeys.

VEHICLE BATTERY
The vehicle battery is maintenance-free
provided that the driving profile allows
sufficient charging of the battery. Short-
distance-driving and frequent engine
starts can discharge the battery.
Avoid the use of unnecessary electric
consumers.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at an
appropriate recycling collection point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than four
weeks can lead to battery discharge.
Disconnect the clight from the negative
terminal of the vehicle battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off before
connecting or disconnecting the vehicle
battery.
