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...
Hydroplaning can take place once a certain
amount of water has accumulated on the road
surface.
Observe the following notes during heavy precipitation
or in conditions in which hydroplaning
may occur:
Reduce speed
Avoid tire ruts
Avoid sudden steering movements
Brake carefully
Also observe the notes on regularly checking
wheels and tires...
Other information:
WARNING Risk of accident due to
exceeding the maximum roof load
The vehicle center of gravity and the usual
driving characteristics as well as the steering
and braking characteristics alter.
If you exceed the maximum roof load, the
driving characteristics, as well as steering
and braking, will be greatly impaired...
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an incorrect seat position
The seat belt does not offer the intended
level of protection if you have not moved the
seat backrest to an almost vertical position.
In particular, you could slip beneath the seatbelt
and become injured...
