Brakes 14 5
Footbrake
The b ra king sy stem com prises two
separate brake circuits.
If one brake circuit should fail, the vehicle
can still be braked with the second
remaining circuit.
If this happens, the brake pedal must be
fully depressed with greater pedal
pressure. The distance required for braking
will be greater.
If at any time during driving the brake
pedal can be depressed further than
normal, the vehicle repeatedly pulls to one
side under braking, or brake noise is heard,
consult a workshop.
In order to utilise the full pedal travel -
particularly in the event of a brake circuit
fault - there must be no mats in the area of
the pedals.
With the engine stopped, the brake servo
assistance is discontinued after the brake
pedal has been depressed once or twice.
The braking effect is not reduced but
increased foot pressure will be necessary.
Ta ke extra care w hen the v ehicle is be ing
tow ed.
Check the brak e lights before sta rting out
on a journey. Shortly after the start of each
journey, the brake system should be tested
for its effectiveness at low speed and
without inconveniencing other road users,
especially if the brakes are wet, e.g. after
washing your vehicle.
Excessive b raking when going d ownhill can
cause brak es to temp orarily overheat. Shift
to a lower gear rather than continuously
applying brakes.
The brake fluid level should be checked
regularly - see page 188.

Handbrake
Always apply handbrake firm ly. On slopes,
apply the handbrake as firmly as possible.
The mechanical handbrake acts on the
brakes on the rear wheels. It engages
automatically when applied.
To release the handbrake, press and hold
the button, pull the lever up slightly and
lower lever while holding the button in.
To reduc e the operating forces of the
handbrake, depress the footbrake at the
same time.
