power steering
Electro-mechanical power steering assists the
driver when steering.
The degree of power assistance is adapted elec
tronically, depending on the speed.
If the power steering should fail at any time or
the engine is switched off (for instance when be
ing towed), the car can still be steered. However,
substantially more effort than normal will be re
quired to turn the steering wheel.
Warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages
• Steering: fault. Please stop vehicle
If the warning lamp lights up permanently and
the message appears, there may be a power
steering failure.
Do NOT drive on. Obtain professional assistance.
• Steering: fault. Please stop vehicle
There is a malfunction in the electronic steering
lock. The ignition can no longer be switched on.
Do not have the vehicle towed away, because you
won't be able to steer it. Obtain professional as
sistance.
G'!b Steering:
fault. You can continue driving
If the indicator lamp lights up, the steering re
sponse may be heavier or lighter than usual. In
addition, it is possible that the steering wheel
will be off centre when driving in a straight line.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop and have the
fault rectified.

A WARNING
Have the system malfunction repaired by a
qualified workshop as soon as possible -risk
of accident!
«]} Note
You can drive on if the warning/indicator lamp
• or mJ lights up only briefly.
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not give full braking effect for
the first 400 km, they must first be "bedded in".
However, you can compensate for the slightly re
duced braking effect by applying more pressure
on the brake pedal. Avoid placing a heavy load on
the brakes during the running-in period.
Wear The rate of wear on the brake pads depends a
great deal on how you drive and the conditions in
which the vehicle is operated. Negative factors
are, for instance, city traffic, frequent short trips
or hard driving with abrupt starts and stops.
Noises Brake noise may develop in certain situations, de
pending on the speed, braking force and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and relative hu
midity).
Effect of moisture and salt
In certain conditions, such as in heavy rain, or af
ter washing the car or driving through water, the
full braking effect can be delayed by moisture (or
in winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads. The
brakes should be "dried" by pressing the pedal to
restore full braking effect.
When you are driving at higher speeds with the
windscreen wipers on, the brake pads are very
briefly brought into contact with the brake discs.
This automatic process which goes unnoticed by
the driver is carried out at regular intervals and is
intended to improve braking response in wet con-
ditions. ..,..
