Brake disc corrosion
Brake disc corrosion and contamination of the
brake pads are favored by:▷Low mileage.▷Extended periods when the vehicle is not
used at all.▷Infrequent use of the brakes.
Corrosion will built up when the maximum
pressure applied to the brake pads during
braking is not reached - thus discs don't get
cleaned.
Corrosion buildup on the brake discs will cause
a pulsating effect on the brakes in their re‐
sponse - generally that cannot be corrected.
Condensation under the parked
vehicle
When using the automatic climate control,
condensation water develops collecting under‐
neath the vehicle.
These traces of water under the vehicle are
normal.
Ground clearance Limited ground clearance
Observe the limited ground clearance of
the vehicle, e. g. while entering underground
parking garages or when driving over obsta‐
cles. Otherwise, damages to the vehicle may
result.◀
To drive down from curbs with the Dynamic
Damping Control, refer to page 131, select the
following program, to keep the ground clear‐
ance as even as possible: "Sport Plus"

Damage to the vehicle
To ensure problem-free driving behavior
in the maximum speed range, have any dam‐
age to the vehicle repaired as soon as possible
as it could negatively impact driving perform‐
ance. This includes, among other things, tires,
undercarriage and parts for improving aerody‐
namics.
Until the damage is repaired, do not drive the
vehicle in the higher speed range; otherwise,
there is the risk of an accident.◀Seite 173Things to remember when drivingDriving tips173
