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.
