Water on brake discs and brake pads affects
braking
Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can
cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a
delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a
delay when the brakes are needed, depress the pedal occasionally when
driving through rain, slush etc. This will remove the water from the
brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be
done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather.
Severe strain on the brake system
The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or
hilly areas or towing. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which means that
the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level
roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let
the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that, if you are towing a
trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load.

NOTE: When the car is at a standstill and the engine is idling, e.g. at a
traffic light and the brake pedal is depressed, the pedal may go down
slightly. This is normal and is caused by an built-in function in the
power brake system.
Power brakes function only when the engine

CAUTION!
•Not checking the oil level regularly can
result in serious engine damage if the oil
level becomes too low.
•Oil that is lower than the specified quality
can damage the engine.
•Always add oil of the same type and
viscosity as already used.
•Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This
could cause an increase in oil consump-
tion.
R-models
R-models are equipped with an oil level
warning system. If the engine oil level
becomes too low, the warning light in the
instrument panel will come on and a warning
will be displayed in the text window.
