6!24 On the move
Brakes
>Note!
The brake servo will function only with
the engine switched on.
The mechanical!acoustic brake pad
display
The car is equipped with a mechanical!
acoustic brake pad display. If you can
hear a continuous noise from the front
axle when braking, you should take the
car to a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a smart center.
Anti!lock braking system (abs) with
electronic brake force distribution
The anti!lock braking system prevents
the wheels from locking when the brakes
are applied. This upholds the steerabil!
ity of your car.
If the abs cuts in while you are braking,
you will feel a pulsating sensation of the
brake pedal.
Braking using abs
In emergency situations:
! Press the footbrake down quickly and as
hard as you can.
! Continue to apply the brakes even when
the pedal starts to pulsate. Increase
the braking force if possible. This way
you will achieve maximum decelera!
tion.
Accident risk!
Considerably more effort will be
required to apply the brakes if
! the brake servo has failed,
! a brake circuit has failed,
! the engine is switched off, e.g. for
towing away.
The braking distance is likewise
greater.
Make sure that the engine is running
whenever the vehicle is rolling. Have
the brake system repaired by a quali!
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a smart
center, if there is a fault in the brake
system.
Accident risk!
The risk of accidents increases
! if you drive too fast, particularly
into corners,
! on wet and slippery surfaces,
! if you drive too close to the vehicle
in front.
abs and esp can reduce this risk but not
exclude it entirely. Always adapt your
driving style to the prevailing road,
traffic and weather conditions.
