Ensure that the floor mats are securely fastened

again when they are returned after being re‐

moved, such as for cleaning.◀

Driving in wet conditions

When roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly

exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every

few miles.

Ensure that this action does not endanger other

road users.

The heat generated in this process helps dry the

brake discs and pads.

In this way braking efficiency will be available

when you need it.

Hills

Drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear

in which the least braking is required. Otherwise,

the brake system may overheat, resulting in a

reduction in the brake system efficiency.

You can increase the engine's braking effect by

shifting down, going all the way to first gear, if

necessary.

Downshifting in manual mode of the 8-gear

Sport automatic transmission, refer to page 54.

Downshifting in manual mode of the 7-gear

Sport automatic transmission with dual clutch,

refer to page 57.

Avoid load on the brakes

Avoid placing excessive load on the brake

system. Light but consistent brake pressure can

lead to high temperatures, brake wear and pos‐

sibly even brake failure.◀

Do not drive in neutral

Never drive with the transmission in neu‐

tral, with the engine switched off or with the

clutch depressed; otherwise, you will have nei‐

ther the braking action of the engine or nor its

power assistance when braking or steering.◀

Brake disc corrosion

Corrosion on the brake discs and contamination

on the brake pads are furthered by:

▷ Low mileage.

▷ Extended periods when the vehicle is not

used at all.

▷ Infrequent use of the brakes.

Corrosion occurs when the minimum pressure

that must be exerted by the pads during brake

applications to clean the discs is not reached.

Should corrosion form on the brake discs, the

brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating ef‐

fect that generally cannot be corrected.

Condensation under the parked vehicle

When using the automatic climate control, con‐

densation water develops that exits underneath

the vehicle.

Therefore, traces of condensed water under the

vehicle are normal.

Overloading the vehicle

To avoid exceeding the approved carrying

capacity of the tires, never overload the vehicle.

Overloading can lead to overheating and in‐

creases the rate at which damage develops in‐

side the tires. This could result in a sudden loss

of tire inflation pressure.◀

Secure heavy objects

Never transport unsecured heavy or hard

objects in the passenger compartment, as they

could be thrown around and pose a safety haz‐

ard to the vehicle's occupants during abrupt

braking or evasive maneuvers.◀

No fluids in the cargo area

Make sure that fluids do not leak into the

cargo area; otherwise, the vehicle may be dam‐

aged.◀
