Footbrake
The braking system comprises two
separate, brake circuits. If one brake circuit
should fail, the vehicle can still be stopped
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. Before continuing your journey,
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 servo
assistance is discontinued after the brake
pedal has been depressed once or twice.
The braking action will not be reduced but
greater pedal pressure will be necessary.
Take extra care when the vehicle is being
towed.
Check the brake lights before starting out
on a journey.
Shortly after starting each journey the
effectiveness of the brake system should
be tested at low speed without
inconveniencing other traffic, especially if
the brakes are wet, e.g. after the vehicle
has been washed.
The brake fluid level should be checked
regularly. If the brake fluid level is too low
and the handbrake is not applied, control
indicator R in the instrument cluster
illuminates - see page 20.
Handbrake
Always apply handbrake firmly. 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 pull the lever up
slightly, press the ratchet knob, and fully
lower the lever.
