Mercedes Benz 2007 sl-class ユーザーズマニュアル

To help prevent brake disk corrosion after 
driving on wet road surfaces (particularly 
salted roads), it is advisable to brake the 
vehicle with considerable force prior to 
parking. The heat generated serves to dry 
the brakes.

If your brake system is normally only sub-
jected to moderate loads, you should occa-
sionally test the effectiveness of the 
brakes by applying above-normal braking 
pressure at higher speeds. This will also 
enhance the grip of the brake pads.

Refer to the description of the Brake Assist 
System (BAS) (

If the parking brake is released and the 
brake warning lamp in the instrument clus-
ter stays on, there is a malfunction in the 
electro-hydraulic brake system 
(

page 92) or the brake fluid level in the 

reservoir is too low.

Brake pad wear or a leak in the system may 
be the reason for low brake fluid in the res-
ervoir.

Have the brake system inspected immedi-
ately.

All checks and service work on the brake 
system should be carried out by qualified 
technicians only. Contact an authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center.

Only install brake pads and brake fluid rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz.

After hard braking, it is advisable to drive 
on for some time, rather than to park im-
mediately, so the air stream will cool down 
the brakes faster.

G

Make sure not to endanger any other road 

users when carrying out these braking 

maneuvers. 

G

If other than recommended brake pads are 

installed, or other than recommended brake 

fluid is used, the braking properties of the 

vehicle can be degraded to an extent that 

safe braking is substantially impaired. This 

could result in an accident.

Be certain to read and observe the warning 

notices on brake pad replacement
