Mercedes Benz 2007 r 320 cdi User Manual

G

With the engine not running, there is no 

power assistance for the brake and steering 

systems. In this case, it is important to keep 

in mind that a considerably higher degree of 

effort is necessary to brake and steer the ve-

hicle.

G

After driving in heavy rain for some time 

without applying the brakes or through wa-

ter deep enough to wet brake components, 

the first braking action may be somewhat 

reduced and increased pedal pressure may 

be necessary to obtain expected braking 

effect. Maintain a safe distance from 

vehicles in front.

Resting your foot on the brake pedal will 

cause excessive and premature wear of the 

brake pads.

It can also result in the brakes overheating, 

thereby significantly reducing their effec-

tiveness. It may not be possible to stop the 

vehicle in sufficient time to avoid an 

accident.
