tance switches off automatically

ț approximately 20 seconds after you

Note on driving with the electrohydrau-
lic brake system
ț Following extended periods of only mi-
nor loads to your brake system, you
should occasionally apply the brakes
when traveling at high speeds. This im-
proves the grip of the brake pads and
prevents possible brake noise.
ț After driving on wet or snow-covered
roads, you should apply your brakes
firmly before parking your vehicle. This
produces heat which serves to dry the
brake disks.
ț On long and steep grades, shift to a
lower gear (gear range 1, 2, or 3) to
prevent the brakes from overheating
and to reduce brake wear.
ț After hard braking, it is advisable to
drive on for some time so that the air
stream will cool down the brakes fast-
er.
ț Only Mercedes-Benz approved compo-
nents (e.g. brake pads) should be in-
stalled on your vehicle. Brake pads not
approved by Mercedes-Benz may im-
pair the safety of your vehicle.
Warning! G
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking
maneuvers.
