Brake system
If a brake circuit fails
The brake pedal can be depressed
further and feels softer than usual.
It also requires more pressure on
the pedal to achieve a normal braking effect.
The brake servo only works when the
engine is running.
If the car is rolling or being towed with the
engine switched off, you must apply approxi-
mately 5 times more pressure on the brake pedal
than when the engine is running. 7KHEUDNH

engine, depress the brake pedal one time hard
and distinct not repeatedly.
Moisture on the brake discs and brake
lining alter braking characteristics!
Brake components become wet when the car is
driven in heavy rain or through pools of water
or when the car is washed. This alters brake pad
friction characteristics so that there is a delay
before braking effect is noticed. Depress the
brake pedal lightly from time to time when
driving long distances in rain or slush and
before parking your car in such conditions. This
helps the brake lining warm up and dry out. You
should also do this when driving after washing
the car and when starting in damp or cold
weather conditions.
If the brakes are heavily loaded
When driving in the Alps or other roads with
similar characteristics, the cars brakes are
heavily loaded even if you are not pressing the
pedal especially hard. Because speed is often
low, the brakes are not cooled as effectively as
when driving on flat roads.
In order to prevent abnormal brake stress, shift
down and use the same gear uphill and downhill
instead of using the brake (manual gearbox).
Thus, engine braking works more efficiently
and brake use will be necessary during short
periods only.
Keep in mind that the brakes are even more
heavily loaded when driving with a trailer.
