Mercedes-Benz GLC : Notes on driving / Notes on driving on salt-treated roads
The braking effect is limited on salt-treated
roads.
Therefore, observe the following notes:
- Due to salt build-up on the brake discs and
brakepads, the braking distance can increase
considerably or result in braking only on one
side
- Maintain a much greater safe distance to the
vehicle in front
To remove salt build-up:
- Brake occasionally while paying attention to
the traffic conditions
- Carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may impede
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal...
