safe to do so, proceed immediately at low
speed to the nearest authorized Aud i dea ler
or qualified workshop and have the brake
system inspected .
- Always keep in m ind that after several brake
applications, you will need greater pressure
on the brake pedal to stop your vehicle . Do
not rely on strained brakes to respond with
maximum stopping power in c ritical situa­
tions . You must allow for increased bra king
distances. The extra dis tance used up by
f ading b rakes cou ld lead to an accident.
~.IC® ) Electromechanical parking brake

Some functions and vehicle components are
scanned for their operating status when yo u
switch the ignition on and whi le you are driving.
Malfunctions or required service procedures are
signaled audibly and indicated by red and yellow
illuminated symbols and reminders in the dis­
play.
A WARNING
--- Never rely exclusively on the outside tem­ pe ratu re d isplay to dete rm ine if a road sur­
face is icy or not. Keep in mind that road sur­
faces, espe cially bridges and overpasses,
could be ice covered and slippery even at an
outside temperature above 41 °f (+S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbo l (ice warning) does not appear in the
display, black ice cou ld be on the road .
-Always red uce your speed and d rive with
specia l care in cold weather conditions when
the chance of encountering icy road surfaces
increases.
(j) Tips
If the vehicle is stationary, or if yo u are driv­
ing at a very low speed, the temperature
shown in the disp lay might be slightly higher
than the actual outside temperature . This is
caused by the heat being radiated from the
engine.
