Brake system
The effectiveness of the brakes is an
important factor for traffic safety.
In the interest of effectiveness, do not
brake unnecessarily hard during the first
200 km (125 miles) after new disc brake
pads have been fitted.
Wear of the brake linings must not exceed
a specified limit. Regular maintenance, as
detailed on pages 206 to 212, is therefore
of the utmost importance for traffic safety.
Have worn brake pads replaced by a
workshop. Pads which have been tested
and passed ensure optimum brake
performance.
Brake pads worn to their minimum
thickness may generate a grinding noise.
It is possible to continue driving. Have your
brake pads replaced as soon as possible.
Seek the assistance of a workshop for
replacing the brake pads.
