2021 MERCEDES-BENZ V-CLASS air condition

Limited braking e.ect on salt-treated
roads:
R a layer of salt on the brake disks or brakepads
can increase braking distances considerabl y,
or braking may happen on only one side
R maintain an especially lar gesafe dis tance to
th eve hicle in front
To remo vethe la yer of salt:
R apply the brakes from time totime, paying
attention totra1c conditions
R careful lydepress the brake pedal at the end of
a journey and aTer the start of a new journey

Until then, compensate forth ere duced braking

disks which are appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz instal-
led on your vehicle.
Other brake disks or brakepads may compromise
